Hi everybody,
I have been using an MSI FX 420 notebook for just a little over two years. Two days ago it suddenly died without warning. I had it checked out and they told me that the motherboard is basically fried and the bios chip controller caused it. The rest of the components ( i5 processor, 8g ddr3 etc) are still working.
Specs:
Intel HM65 chipset
i5 2410 processor
500gb S-ATA
AMD Radeon HD 6470
Should I opt to have it repaired? Or just buy a new laptop?
I would like to apologize before hand for asking if this,as it may sound like a stupid question.
I have very little knowledge about these things and secondly, I have a limited budget for the repair or potential replacement.
Is this problem repairable at all or would the entire board need to be replaced?
I appreciate your insights on this.
