You would have to replace the whole board. But without opening the case (or checking the web site for make/model) I can not say for sure. If you really need a modem, it would probably be cheaper - even if the internal modem to changable - to just buy either a USB modem or one designed to plug into the laptop's PC card slot. As they are "generic" parts, they would probably be half the price of an internal modem specific to your laptop. (And good luck find internal parts for a laptop.)
