What is the graphics connector on a Samsung NP350V5C-S08AU

What is the graphics connector on a Samsung NP350V5C-S08AU, the Radeon 7600m doesn't work no matter what i do and i will either have to get a desktop (which i plan to do at some point in the far future) or replace the graphics card with something else.

It looks like it has both VGA and HDMI as graphics outputs for adding an external display. If your GPU (radeon) isn't working, then the built in screen won't work either. If that is the case, you will probably need to replace the laptop: Laptop GPUs really cannot be replaced.

Sorry, should have been more specific, i meant the connector that connects the motherboard and GPU, like PCI-Express or something. I have also heard that you can use a desktop GPU externally if your motherboard has the appropriate connector (as another option), and when i eventually get a desktop i can just stick it in there instead of buying another. The integrated works just fine (Better than expected infact) but it is less than fantastic for gaming.

In that case, the GPU in budget laptops is almost always soldered directly to the motherboard. A few high end gaming laptops have MXM slots for GPUs, but they are very expensive and not always compatible. Unless you are spending thousands of dollars on a laptop and compatible GPUs, laptop GPUs cannot be upgraded.

An external GPU for gaming would require a thunderbolt port; it would definitely not be a budget-friendly option.

Ok, thanks for the help.
