If what they say is accurate -- repair shops vary wildly in quality -- it's almost guaranteed to be more cost-effective to just buy a new laptop. Just how cost-effective depends on what the laptop is, but the details are lacking. There's nearly a decade of Intel i3s so just knowing it's a Dell Inspiron i3 isn't terribly useful information.

I took the laptop to nearby repair shop they told me that the processor is burnt due to overheating and inorder to fix it the whole motherboard must be replaced as it is built-in with motherboard.They also recommend me to buy a new one instead.Im looking for any other solution so this can be solved without costing too much.Thank you.

Unless it's a high-end laptop with a removable CPU and an MXM GPU, laptops that require a new motherboard are typically spare parts rather than candidates for repair.

Most likely, the shop was right and the whole motherboard needs to be replaced. However, if you can provide the processor model number, then it can be accurately determined.

If you're Running Windows 10, right-click on the start menu icon in the bottom left and then click on "system". A window will pop up and you will see the relevant information.

If it's Windows 7, in the start menu, I think you right-click on "my computer" and then click on "properties" to get to that page.
