Laptops get a lot of abuse. The motherboard gets bend very slightly every time you pick it up with one hand, open the lid, close the lid, etc. This over time creates very small fractures in the solder on the board. Eventually it fails. You could call the manufacturer or you could with some basic DIY knowledge do it yourself. Laptop manufacturers see after service repair as another way to make money. Try this yourself and it could save you time, money and a lot of time on the phone. As it is suitable for most laptops and covers 90% of the motherboard failures on laptops I thought I'd make a vid on how to do it. So I did below with a DELL I received with a motherboard fault.
