Replacing GPU in a laptop. Is there any "unstable" stuff going on?

[Vendre William]

I'm not exactly sure what the computer repair shop meant. He said he need to test the replaced GPU in my Lenovo Y50 FHD and need more than well 1 week. What unstable? Just stress test the GPU is enough. Is there anything to move on?

Hi,

I think 1 week is too long in my opinion. Yes, I would suggest a stress test that should tell you right away if there's a problem or not.

Here's also a thread about the same topic.

Should you even trust to leave your hard disk to the repair shop? I'm worried if they steal my data 🙁
