Motherboard Repair / Graphic Chipset Reballing
The problem with the recent laptops is that graphic chipset gets too hot. This is caused by bad design of the laptop motherboard & graphics chip — mostly nVidia graphics.
The only solution is replacement of the BGA (Ball Grid Array) and resoldering graphic chipset to the motherboard. You can also replace whole motherboard which will cost you about £200 and more.
We can solve this problem without changing your motherboard or graphics card a lot cheaper.
