Thinkpads Forum

I would like to replace the Q1000M inside of a W520 with a Q2000M.
The Q2000M I am looking at is intended for a Dell laptop: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product ... 10666.html
Will it still be compatible or are there design differences? (un-like desktop hardware).

Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

The GPU is soldered to the W520 motherboard and cannot be removed by normal means. The entire motherboard needs to be replaced for the GPU upgrade.

If you are interested in replacing the motherboard I have one available. Send me a PM.
