Video card's are generally socketed on laptops short of say Intel's IGP, YMMV. Of
course no upgrades but you can with some luck find replacements (pulls) of same model

That observation is exactly what my last group of hdw did. It powers up w/o
video, beeps, or anything else. My problem was a bad Crucial Ballistix
1GB DDR3 Ram dimm! Perhaps your laptops memory is at fault?
Best,
