Try cleaning the Video card contacts with a gum eraser and reseat. Change your BIOS to use your Video card and not the on-board.

i have done it in the bios
it was disabled and i saved the settings but i have restarted the computer and i looked again in the bios and the setting from the vga adapter (on-board videocard) enabled his self i have connected my monitor to the videocard but as i look by the hardware than he doesn't let me see that my video card is enabled and i can only see my onboard vga adapter

Battery

I've changed the battery (indeed the bettery was pretty screwed) i've tested the new battery and it works but windows still doens't detect it

Try booting with a Live Linux CD and see if Linux can detect your Video card.

Good for you. That's what I do most of the time to check if a device is still working A-Ok especially if Windows can't detect it, following my train of though if Linux detects the Video card, that means it is a driver issue with Windows.
