    I have a Dell XPS M1210. Awesome machine, but NVIDIA video card has bummed out so motherboard / Vid card need replacing.

    I can source a new motherboard for just under $200, but am not confident on doing the swap.

    I live on the Treasure Coast, Florida. Anyone interested in doing the job let me know how much $$$

    Thanks

    Rick

    Zfactor is located in Florida, he is probably your best bet to get the motherboard swapped.

    I would be more than welcome to help you, but I live in NY, which is much too far away

    I'm in Stuart, Florida. 1.5 hrs north of Miami, .5 hours north of West Palm Beach, 2 hours south of Orlando. Have a bike and ca deliver or send via UPS or Fedex if to far.

    What is it likely to cost?

    Thanks for your offers.

    I might also need to replace a M1210 motherboard, where did you get one under $200 if I may ask?

    Im in Winter Haven, but I would suggest taking the laptop and replacement to a local place or bestbuy though, im not sure of their prices though. You could get it cheaper here with all the nice people here.
