[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1526859"] The following is not meant in any way to be unsympathetic to your plight, BUT: Regardless of how much you spend on a modern computer, you will likely be replacing it in about five years. This is due to a variety of factors, most of them outside the manufacturer's control. You got five years out of this machine and it was soon due for replacement anyway even if this video problem hadn't happened. Now that you know the average useful lifespan of a notebook is about five years (less on a PC, I find), bear this in mind when the time comes for you to buy a replacement. Good luck to you on the logic board surgery. [/QUOTE]
