GPU Fix Cost?

#1 Post by Stranger » Wed Oct 15, 2008 11:15 am

I apologize if this has already been asked a million times. I've seen the guide for the fix...but I'm not very handy and I don't want to risk causing anymore trouble to it.

My machine is not under warranty anymore, so if I were to take it into a repair shop, does anyone know an estimate if how much they would charge? I know it varies, but would it be in the 100s, 200s..etc.

Thanks! =)

$50 to $150. Check on e-bay for the $50 company and with Jamiphar on this forum for the $150 fix.
