    Please, i've had xps 1530 for almost 5 years and no problems at all. Then suddenly it stops. Dell says I need new motherboard (they think). Spoke w/Dell and they said they could fix for $500--

    I paid a lot ($1800) for this laptop and I'm just looking for me advice if any of you have experience with this.

    Thanks very much for reading. I'm going to continue to look thru forum for information. Thank you.

    All M1530's have the defective Nvidia motherboard. I would NOT recommend spending 500 on another defective motherboard, there are so many choices for that much money that smoke an M1530 in terms of performance.
