    Is it possible to change 8300m wihout changing whole motherboard?



    I had some problems with my video card (white screen on boot, not even showing a bios or something), brought my HP Pavillion laptop to service center, they've promised to fix it, but evenually screwed everything up and laptop was restarting immidietly upon boot.

    Brought it to other service center, they are telling my that they can fix my laptop by changing moterboard.

    So, the prbolem is - if they'll change motherboard, and video card won't be changed - i'll still have a problem, and I'll have to pay again for fixing video card problem...

    The 8300M is not MXM, it's soldered to the motherboard. So the only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard.

    It is considered (very) bad form to ask the same question in more than one topic/forum.
