Video cards are normally built-in on the laptop motherboard and you cannot replace them or add a new one because there is not an expansion slot to add a video card.

try to power your board first see if the HDD light blicks .... if not turn off your computer remove your mem card clean the brass connector for your mem card using a pencil eraser and clean the mem card seats on the board using a brush then re-seat your mem card ... if stil not working replace your mem card with known good mem card if its ok replace your mem card
if theHDD light blink and no display check your video card clean your video card from dust build ups and also clean the brass connector using pencil eraser clean also the video card seat using a brush if your video card doesn't work have it replace
if your using a built in video card use an add on video card
takes screws out bottom of laptop and on back under lcd,,pop off top and then keyboard,,should be under there,,,check sony website,,for support options,,compatable video cards,,
If you look at the back of your computer, note where the video cable is connected. If the video cable is connected to the back plane where the expansion cards are installed, then it has a video card inserted either the PCI slot or the AGP slot.
If the video connector is next to the LPT, COM ports, USB ports etc. then the video controller is part of the motherboard.
If you want to replace the video card, the on-board video card can be disabled from the BIOS configuration and a better quality video card can be inserted into the AGP slot.
Did you connect you monitor cable to the new installed video card. You need to connect you monitor cable to the new installed video card. You need also to installed the CD driver of your video card.
in this case it sounds like you will have to replace it, but why won't the GFX card you have cope? resolution or connectivity. The Radeon HD 2400 is quite a capable card.
If the system has ATI Video, then there is a discrete video card that can be replaced. If the video is Intel Integrated, then you will need to replace the motherboard.

Usually with laptops you have to replace the mobo but looks like there may be a possibility (slim one) that the card can be replaced, however I could not find anything as far as parts to get to replace just the video card so its looking more and more like the whole mobo would need to be replaced.
Replace the Discrete Video card. That's why your LCD didn't detect when you run the Diagnostic test. There 2 type of video cards available to Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505. Either you have a on-board video card or discrete video card. Mostly, the discrete video card is caused when you not getting video output to your LCD (completely dark as if it is off). Discrete video card is detachable and replaceable. Good Luck.
