Can I replace the graphics card on my ASUS Vivo AiO V230IC?
Need to know how and if it is possible to replace my graphics card without replacing my whole motherboard.
Is this a good question?

Hi @ladytiar ,
I don’t think that the GPU (either one) can be easily replaced.
Here is a composite image taken from a charge port repair video for the AiO. I realize that the video is not about your question but it is useful as it shows both sides of the motherboard.
As there seems to be two GPU (see specifications) for the AiO and one is integrated with the CPU (Intel), there appears to be no other plug in GPU (Nvidia) unless it is also under the same heat sink as the CPU. It may be hard mounted on the motherboard.
There is a largish IC visible under the heatsink pipe just back from the CPU but it is unusual that it doesn’t appear to have good thermal contact with the pipe so I don’t think that this is the GPU. In any case it is hard mounted on the motherboard and would not be easily replaced.
You may have to open the AiO to verify all this.
