Hi :)

It can be done...my Laptop repair comapny does it sometimes... BUT it costs 2 hours labour as its a complete strip down and rebuild job (£100 in labour)

All the best Brett :)


Sure, by replacing the mainboard! Electronics nowadays are designed to be swapped out. You may be lucky to locate a repair shop that can perform said duties but your options are very very limited.
 



one does not simply replace a mobo of a laptop
 
Agreed however a friend of mine had his 50 inch LCD go bad just after a year and the system board was swapped out.

With today's technology, there are virtually no serviceable parts.
