Upgrade Graphics: Do I replace motherboard or is there a graphic card on notebooks? Where can I buy?

I have the HP G72-259WM Notebook PC , Product Number: Windows 7 (64bit) With 4GB of RAM and 1695MB video Ram. I just purchased a game (Star Wars: The Old Republic) and my laptop meets all the requirement stated on game accept one that I did not understand see until after the purchase. The Graphic card needs to run Shader 3.0 or greater. My Laptop is now out of warranty and would like to upgrade my hardware. Can I either purchase a motherboard or graphics card in order to run this game instead of buying a whole new system? Note: the game states that there are a few different cards that work with this game and wonder if there is something equal to, or a little better that match there capability that I can use? They are the ATI/AMD Radeon HD 4850, or NVIDA GeForceGTX 260 /512MB graphic cards.
I would like to use the all the same hardware with a new motherboard... unless the graphic card is separate and if so can you tell me what I need to get and where?
Thanks

Hi,
Buy new machine may be much cheaper. Not just motherboard, video card, you also need new cooling parts ...
Regards.

Where can I buy the Mac Pro 2013 motherboard? Just the motherboard

So where can I buy JUST the Mac pro 2013 motherboard? If you can, please link it.
Thanks!

This is a User-to-User help site.
Helpers get their rewards by helping.
I know some good solutions to a lot of problems with Mac Pros. And other readers know a whole lot more solutions.
I do not know of any problem that can be solved by replacing these boards in a nearly-new Mac Pro. The processor board is sold as a bare board, with no processors or heatsinks. It takes an hour of trained technician time just to install the processors and heat sinks, and you MUST get the correct parts or it will not work. If your technique is not correct, the processor(s) will self destruct when you power them up.
The mainboard does not include the SATA connectors, which are actually on a wiring harness that is attached from behind.
What problem are you trying to solve here?

Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?

Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?
I don't see anywhere on Dell's website to purchase this.

So far there is no replacement/upgrade PSU for Dell Optiplex 9020 MT from Dell.
Will a dedicated power supply work for playing games? i bought this system as used (excellent condition) just for Gaming Purpose (GTA V), now i am stuck with the PSU issue. I can alter the case to fit the big size GPUs, but the issue is of PSU.
Will ePower EP-450CD can help me in any way.
My main reason for changing PSU is to play my favorite game.

How much RAM can upgrade my Powerbook G4 with and where can I buy it?

I would like to increase the speed/processing power of my Powerbook G4. Any advice on the following appreciated:
1) What is the max RAM I can put into it? There seem to be problems logged on this discussion forum at 2GB by some users?
2) Where can I buy compatible RAM - it is no longer available on the Apple store (neither UK where I live nor US)?
3) are there any other upgrades I can make to speed up my Powerbook?
My current Powerbook details are:
Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model: PowerBook5,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 768 MB - DDR SDRAM
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.7.1f1
Graphics - ATI Mobility Radeon 9600
Many thanks
Mark

Hi, Mark. Your Powerbook can use up to 2GB of RAM, and there is no increased risk of trouble when using the maximum as long as the RAM used is suitable. Suitable RAM can be ordered from scores of online vendors. I don't know what the best sources in the UK might be, but I suggest that you look for Samsung, Crucial, or Hynix branded RAM from a vendor whose web site explicitly advertises it as compatible with Aluminum Powerbook G4s.

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro?

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro? There are used batteries on ebay that don't appear genuine. There are some third-party knock offs. The apple store seems to believe they can replace it, but I have to make a reservation at the silly Genius Bar just to have them tell me how much it's gonna cost, not to mention then likely wait for them to order the battery and install it. I'm perfectly capable of installing it myself. I just need to know where I can order it?
Thanks,
Andrew

Yeah, that's what I've finally decided. I was kidna super frustrated because the first apple store I called wouldn't even tell me a price or tell me if they could replace the battery without a Genius Bar appointment, and as I would have to take off work and drive acros town--and I don't have a car so I'd have to borrow one--that was pretty annoying. That call left me pricing linux laptops. I called another store to see if I'd have better luck, and the initial answer was the same, but the girl relented under some trying-to-be-nice-but-clearly-annoyed pressure, and she gave me the answers I needed: yes, they should have the battery in stock and it should be a same-day replacement that should cost $179.
It just *****, really, because there's so much about Apple that I used to love, and I'm watching it kinda melt away under their success in the mobile market. As a professional user, there's less and less reason to stick with them. Instead of being the best they can be, I feel like they're just trying to be flashier and just a little better than the other mediocre computer companies. Ugh. Anyway, now I'm ranting.

Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
How about this one?
922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more! My parts drawer is always full of them. They like to knot up by themselves as well! Maybe that's how they breed.

I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

Thanks but this didn't really help.
I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
But thanks

Where can I buy a 5g replacement battery?

My battery only lasts about 8 hours on the suggested settings from Apple. I sent it in and they sent it back with nothing in the box, just the ipod. Incidentally they wiped all my videos and music and put on a whole new set of stuff. I called technical support and they said it was sent back because the battery is a software issue and they will no longer discuss any battery issues with me until I purchase Applecare. I called back and spoke to someone else and they again said 'I will not discuss this' and hung up. I don't really want to have to bow to purchasing Applecare from them, so where can I buy a replacement battery for my iPod please?

I did send it in and it was sent back and I was told it wasn't repaired because batteries are not covered by the warranty, only applecare. Now whenever I called up and give the serial number, they end the call citing the same reason.

Where can I buy a genuine Apple replacement battery A1280

As above, where can I buy a genuine A1280 replacement battery for my Macbook Aluminium Unibody late 2008 5.1 notebook? Is it worth buying from a Battery UK company off the internet, or Amazon or eBay? (Have read various negative comments about using a non-Apple replacement).
If not where can I find a suitable one? I am in the UK. Thanks Anne

Where can I buy a replacement power supply?

Where can I buy a replacement power supply for my time capsule?

Apple do not sell parts for the TC..
And do not allow their OEM to sell parts.
So you need to bypass Apple and create your own.
Or fix the existing one.
