[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1641228, member: 56379"] I don't live in Ireland…so I really cannot say. But I'm sure the same trend applies in Ireland just like everywhere else. In some cases…the cost of a replacement logic board for a 5 year old computer can approach the value of what it would cost to purchase another 100% working unit. This is why it is not worth it. Even if someone purchased the replacement logic board & did the install themselves…the total cost of doing this repair is questionable. But if someone needed it installed by a repair person (higher cost for the part + labor). The the cost really gets high. Unless you can get an EXTREMELY inexpensive logic board replacement (this is called being VERY lucky). The repair is not worth it. If you really want to know the cost of a replacement logic board…check eBay UK. - Nick [/QUOTE]
