Hello, the Lenovo support for some reason can't give any technical information and directed me to a third-party repair shop to get this information but to me that is very weird
So I am here to get the information instead.
The Lenovo Yoga 720 that I have has integrated graphics that it uses when browsing the web and stuff and a GTX 1050 it activates when needed. My screen started getting covered in randomly coloured and randomly spaced vertical lines that I know is a graphics card hardware issue, it eventually clears and I can see the screen again but now there are horizontal transparent lines that are evenly spaced by like 0.5mm across the entire screen, they are barely noticeable but I still want it fixed.
I have tried uninstalling each in the device manager and testing each one individually but it does not fix the problem, I think when I restart it just defaults back to the integrated graphics, I have tried updating all the drivers and that didn't work either.
So I am accepting that it is a hardware defection and would like to know what graphics cards are compatible with the Lenovo Yoga 720.. is it only the GTX 1050? Once I do get another graphics card is it as easy as taking apart the laptop and un-inserting the old and re-inserting the new GPU?
Thanks for the help
