This video will show you in great detail how to remove your graphics card in your laptop or notebook. This process is hard, but I will show you how to do it without damaging or hurting your laptop.

PC Details:
Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop

1GB memory (Will upgrade later)
74GB hard drive (I have an external HDD)
Intel Core Duo CPU T2250 @ 1.73 GHz Each
