Lenovo Carbon X1 - Worth replacing the motherboard?

[mirc11]

I have a Lenovo Carbon X1. It is two years old. It works well but for a few issue: the volume keys doesn't work on the keyboard (I need to go to the taskbar to raise or lower the volume- this has been since the beginning), once in a while the keyboard mousepad will get stuck, and a few times I've gotten a blue screen - see error message pasted below.


Lenovo is offering to replace the motherboard. However, I have read that since they usually replace it with refurbished ones, they never work as well as the original. Should i replace it or not?

Really appreciate the advice!

In general, if you get a new part due to an RMA, you'll be getting something that has passed testing and is effectively as good as the original. You should not have difficulty with your new motherboard.
