Motherboard repair
My laptop motherboard fault, laptop is out of warranty, but very light
used. There is a lot repair services that offer motherboard repair. It will probably require to replace North Bridge chip. Is it ever possible to provide M/B quality repair in third-party repair services, chip soldering without overheating, without damaging other M/B components? I'm not interested it laptop will work only 3-6 month, then fault again. I have option to replace M/B in Dell authorized service, but its very expensive, plus I am not sure that NEW(not refurbished) motherboard still available for my laptop model. Other option is to buy new notebook. But my Dell laptop still have better configuration vs some new economic laptop models. |

If you think you can do the work, you might find parts or another identical laptop on Ebay. You could swap parts (whole parts) to make one good one. If price was right, and you don't mind the labor hours. |

If they do it at a reasonable price and have some type of guarantee on the work you might as well have it fixed. |
