Hi Everyone

REALLY iam tired with this issue i have here
what happend in points is :
-since 4 months My Y50 laptop shutted down suddenly
-I tried everything but MB (motherboard) is dead ,then i lost my 1250$ laptop after 1 year only Mysteriously (OMG)
-after that ,actually after being disappointed, someone offered me to buy me A new MB for about 200$
-I dont know from where he brought it Or how but i really needed it very very fast
-Now after Al of this losses , everything is okay partly
-There is no NVIDIA GTX860M Detected Anymore - not in device manager -or by any program or with any solution
-but in BIOS there is option about (Enable-Disable) nvidia Gps

this is my sad story with lenovo Smiley Sad

Can any one tell me where is the problem or solution
Can i do anything to solve it Before i come back to the man who sold it to me ....

Note: what is the reason for all of this ... what happened to the Motherboard (short maybe)
there is an electrical leakage on the upper cover - is this dangerous ??? i think any one has Y50 can notice it

thanks

Because the laptop has one yr warranty only so that you should contact lenovo when you get any problem.

That is the problem, because like you said nobody will know where he bought from. Usually the gtx860m is option, that means you have to remove it from the old MB, then put it to the new MB. If the new MB does not have the gtx860m, you can use the intel iGPU only. Now if you got the problem you have to go back to that guy...
