Dell Inspiron 8600 Video Card Replacement

Remove the battery from the bottom left of the laptop. It is a long, rectangular shape.

Insert a spudger into the notch at the far left side of the top blue panel and pry the hinge cover off.

You may need to pry the other side off as well. You can do this by inserting the spudger between the hinge and the top cover.

Pull the small black tab on the right hand side of the laptop.

You have now removed the hinge cover.

Using the Phillips #1 remove the screws at the top of the keyboard as indicated.

You will need to pull out the white tab underneath the keyboard upwards until it pops out of its socket.

After removing the keyboard, locate and remove the labeled screws.

Gently lift the Video Card unit for replacing.
