[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1578679, member: 46727"] Without replacing the entire machine (very costly) you might want to consider spending the £180 and have it repaired. However, it would be a good idea to start saving for a new machine anyway. Our experience with the nVidia problem is varied. When Apple does the repair they replace the entire logic board which can be expensive. Third party repairs (such as the one you're considering) sometimes work out well, other times they do not. It's kind of a gamble so it's really up to you whether or not to spend the £180. [/QUOTE]
