Actually replacing circuit cards is something that happened in the good old days, you know, back when we used to resurface brakes discs and such. The stuff is so cheap now just getting a waffle maker (or whatever) diagosed costs more then the whole unit. So they don't even bother to stock spare parts.

Yes, I went to the Laptop forum and got a couple of suggestions that did little more than confirm my fear of a blown MoBo. The math is almost inexorable.... refurb MoBo, $250. Decent almost comparable new laptop, ~$500. We have a throw away society,
