Un-solder the on-board graphic chip (once you have located it that is) and replace with a updated one, but you have to make sure it has the same pinouts to connect to the motherboard with. Once you have the similar pinout connection updated graphic chip very carefully place it onto the motherboard turn the motherboard over (while holding down the chip) and then very carefully solder the graphic chip in place. Hope this help you. :)

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

About the only practical way to update your graphics is to change the entire motherboard in your laptop.

Of course, it is more practical to just get a different laptop that has the better graphics to begin with.
