I have an HP 530 laptop, a while ago i was playing san andreas on it and got bored so I plugged in a monitor to play on two screens lol i dunno why. At the time it didn't like it, it kept flickering. I think the graphics chip fried because it has lines going through the screen and weird colour patches since.
I was wondering what my options are, It was a cheapy laptop so i very much doubt it has a graphics card slot. and i don't want to get a new motherboard because there are pratically the same price as the laptop its self.
Is there like a external graphics card about or anything? and is the graphics card deff fried?

thanks Ben
