    In answer to your original question, yes. The graphics on your G model is supposed to be a NVIDIA. On the right side there is a switch that chooses between using the NVIDIA card of an external source on the HDMI-In port. Make sure it's pointing toward the internal or else you'll have a blank screen if nothing is on that HDMI-In port.

    Can you check the video card in the device manager?

    This problem can be a failure in the gpu, cpu, ram or even in the bios. Now, it is quite complicated to dismantle this all in one.

    What are the exact specs of your Aspire ZS600G? Have you got an i3, i5 etc Intel cpu? For example if you have an Intel Core i5-3330S CPU you could even upgrade the cpu to an i7 that will give you more processing power and improve your system e.g. with an upgrade to a Core i7-3770S (with its intergrated graphics GPU of the Intel HD 2500) so that it will work on your system. 

    As "egydiocoelho" said "it is quite complicated to dismantle this all in one" as there are different models of the Aspire ZS600G and all these sorts of problems have different fixes. You have to have a PCIe slot in your AIO to be able to fit a graphics card, that is if it will fit into its casing? Its not just a matter of fitting a graphics card to any AIO’s. Other options also are that you could configure your Aspire ZS600G with an external graphics card which is a totally different procedure and setup, see here:  https://www.pcworld.com/article/2984716/how-to-transform-your-laptop-into-a-gaming-powerhouse-with-an-external-graphics-card.html which is another way (if you want to goto this length?) that you could do that and what it entails.etc. Because and if your cpu is faulty and/or damaged it would be a cheaper solution to replace your cpu then adding an external graphics card if you could?

    #2 needs to be set to video from the MB, not from the HDMI-In port.

    There is no need to tear it apart. Just use the switch to change the display from external source to internal source.

  • When you press the HDMI button, does something appear on the zs600g display to select the hdmi monitor?
