Some machines have the video built into the motherboard.
Best way to tell is look at the Video port on the back of the machine.
(Where the monitor cable plugs in)
If the Video connection point is in within a card slot it is easy to spot what position and where. If the Video connection port is in line with the motherboard. It is built into said motherboard. And yes if you have an available slot open you could upgrade the video should it be built into the motherboard.
Here is a link for slot types networking ringofsaturn com
Remove ALL cords plugged into the computer. Lay the computer on it's side with indent facing up and remove two large thumb screws from back. Pull the side towards the back using the indent for leverage. If it is really stuck insert a small flat blade the in the slot between the front cover and side and CAREFULLY twist as you slide the blade from to bottom. The side needs to slide towards the back before it can be removed.
www.dynamite.com might still sell what you want :> Just kiddding! Try a complete wiping of the hard-drive unless you are doing an upgrade, you will lose all data on the drive. If that doesn't work, you might not be running enough ram memory for 7 to run cleanly on you machiine, go ahead and upgrade. Hope this helps!
This machine have an IGP video solution, an integrated graphic chip, therefore you can replace it. But you can ad one graphic chard, a very cheap one, if you use this machine only for internet browsing and office activities and light video activities.. You have an PCI Express X 16 slot free on your computers motherboard. But first check the functionality of our computer using some other video card, maybe borrowed from a friend. I can suggest something like ATI Radeon HD 4350 to HD4650 or ATI Radeon HD 5450 to HD 5570. Those entry level graphic cards have HDMI output also. You have an old system, maybe is not the IGP the only problem. Don't' get any more powerful card as you have a lesser capable power supplier. Have a nice day.
As far as I can determine this machine has 'on board' graphics. In other words there is no separate video card - the graphics capability is built into the motherboard.
What symptoms do you have - why do you say 'video card failure'?
Actually, the Dell Latitude C610 is one of those rare cases where the video card can be remove. It is a separate chip. I know because I'm looking at it right now. The only problem with upgrading is actually finding a video that actually fits and it better than the 16MB stock card.
