Upgrading Satellite Radius 15.

Solution
The 5200u is BGA, and while it is possible to replace BGA cpus it requires the proper equipment and knowledge. CPU failures are fairly rare but in most places(shops and even warranty repair outfits) usually opt for a entire motherboard/cpu replacement if a BGA cpu fails.

Model satellite radius 15" L55W i5 5200U.
If the processor cannot be upgraded/replace how do you repair the laptop if the processor malfunction AND your warranty for the laptop has expired?
