Lenovo all in one computer needed for business has stopped working. Probably needs VGA Card replacing. Does anyone know if this is possible/allowable in these troubled times? Thank you.

What makes you think that it has a faulty graphics card?

Because I saw this once before on another computer. First the screen goes black then returns to normal for a few days, then happens again, then returns to normal. Finally, screen turns black and when the display returns, this time it is at its lowest resolution. Computer still working at that stage so enough time to transfer all those bits and pieces I had lazily left on the hard drive onto another hard drive. Job done. Now go to settings and change the resolution back to its normal 1920 or whatever. All looks good. Connect to internet, screen goes black. Start again! Obviously I could well be wrong as I know absolutely nothing - zero - nada - computers are a complete mystery to me. Just guessing really. What is your opinion? And do you know if anyone is allowed to work with it?

If it's an all in one then its highly doubtful that it has a replaceable graphics card.
