While it is not impossible for the graphic chip to be dead, I think it is
more likely to be a problem wiht the LCD or its connections.

Is there a VGA port on the laptop, can you hook up a monitor and do you
see anything?

Or could it be that the laptop just isn't turning on or POSTing

The only laptop that I've heard of that has user-changeable graphics
hardware is the super-expensive Alienware Area-51 gamer's system. There
might be others but I doubt that there are many. If the laptop in question
has such amenities you can be sure that tne manufaturer's instructions
and/or website would tout the fact.
