If the motherboard has integrated video, it can be disabled and another addin video card can be installed into an available pci-e, agp, or pci slot if your computer has one. This is not something you can do with a laptop, only a desktop computer. For example, when i put a video card in one of my extra slots it automatically disables the integrated video.
If your video card is ALREADY in one of the ADD_IN slots, it can be removed and replaced.

My acer 5535 powers on and off but lcd screen remains black also no image to external monitor

Seems like the display output is shot. The only solution is to replace the motherboard, which can be done but isn't easy, or you could buy a new computer.

Good Morning. I wonder if anyone could help me solve my problem I have a Accer Aspire 5535 and its around 2yrs old on windows Vista. The screen stopped lighting up and then on Random days it would...

Hi,

This could be one of two things, it is either the inverter (this generates high voltage to run the back light) or it could be the back light itself.

As you have suggested, it could just be a loose wire or cable.

Replacing the inverter is relatively straightforward as it is located at the bottom edge of the LCD screen behind the plastic case. The backlight is usually part of the LCD screen and you would usually be better replacing the screen entirely.

To get at either of these components to check cables/wires etc, you will need to disassemble the screen case of the laptop, this is fairly simple if you are comfortable with disassmbling laptops.

A brief overview of the screen replacement process is below, instructions 1-4 show how to remove the case to access the inverter and cables:

1. Power off your laptop. Turn the laptop upside down so that you can see the bottom side of the laptop's case.

2. Depress the battery release latch and lift the battery and laptop ac adapter out of the laptop. Flip the computer back over and open up the LCD screen to a 90 degree angle.

3. Pull off each of the rubber buttons located along the edges of the Acer Aspire 5535 Screen. Remove each of the screws underneath the buttons with the Phillips-head screwdriver, remove keyboard.

4. Insert your fingers underneath the cover of the Acer Aspire 5535 Screen. Work your fingers around the edges of the cover to unlock it from the screen. Pull the cover off the screen and set it aside.

5. Locate the inverter board at the bottom edge of the Acer laptop screen . Disconnect the cables at the right and left end of the board that connect to the Acer Aspire 5535 Screen. Remove the screw holding the inverter board in place and then lift the board off the LCD screen.

6. Tilt the screen slightly towards you until you can see the strip of tape holding the video cable. Pull off the tape and then disconnect the video cable from the laptop case.

7. Remove the Acer Aspire 5535 LCD screen from the case. Set the new screen onto the case and reattach the video cable and tape strip. Position the replacement inverter board at the bottom of the screen and attach the screw.

8. Reconnect the inverter board's cables. Pop the plastic cover onto the Acer Aspire 5535 LCD screen and reconnect the screws. Set the rubber buttons over the screws. Reconnect the battery.

9. Turn on the laptop. Wait for the manufacturer's logo to appear on the screen to ensure the display was replaced properly.

Power but screen is blank shop said mother/b or processor ?

The 5535 is a decent computer and if it is doing right by you and you are comfortable with it, then go ahead and repair it. I would suspect that the motherboard may have failed but I doubt the processor did, unless you overheated it so bad that it over rode its thermal shut down protection and melted like Chernobyl. The motherboard can be bought on EBay for a decent price, most likely between $100 to $185 bucks. I'll give you a link below that goes to the service manual for that model. With the manual, you can rebuild the laptop with nothing more than a phillips screwdriver and patience. When you are ready and have the parts, get back to us and we can help further.
When the link comes up, it is around 8 mb in size, make sure you have a pdf file reader like adobe reader. The manual will come up sirt of small, just hold down the Ctrl key and tap the + key to enlarge the view.
