    Hello, I have a Clevo P150 SM-A that has a fried GTX 870m GPU, chipped chassis and broken keyboard and would like some recommendations. Currently everything is working but I want to revive it, I already found where to order a new battery, keyboard.

    1.) Is it possible to buy just the chassis?
    2.) What is the cheapest MXM GPU option that is compatible with the CLEVO P150SM-A? Is there a cheaper replacement out there where I don't need to flash the bios? an 870m from eBay would cost me around 200$ and I was thinking if there are cheaper options since I just want to use the laptop for productivity.

    Thanks!

    A 980m would run you the same price unless I am mistaken, 970m would run cooler and also cheaper as well.
