upgrading graphics card
i have an inspiron 5160 and at the moment have an XGI Volari 32mb however i recently got the 64 mb nvidia from Dell spare parts i have the installation document. however i wasnt sure if i needed to install the nvidia driver or updates so that it will correctly display when i reboot after installing the graphics card as i perviously had a Volari card. or do i simply install the card and downlad drivers afterwards. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you following the Service Manual as to how to upgrade your video card?

I remember taking the keyboard off a 5160 and a 5100 without any problems..
Try using an electric screwdriver, maybe that'll help
