    Hey guys I got an MSI GT70 0ND laptop with a broken GPU ( It burned after I used canned air ) The laptop is working perfectly I bought it 4 years ago for 1800 euro . As I want a new laptop with a working graphic card and I dont want to buy a used one because its 300 euros. what do you suggest me to do? Sell the laptop and say to them that the GPU is broken? If yes how much should I sell it? Do I find a good laptop around 700-800 for gaming and multimedia apps?
    Thanks

    What do you want to do? Fix it by replacing the GPU to something newer than what's currently in there? Or just sell the whole NB to get some cash back so you can buy a new one?

    Hey! To be honest I dont want to spend 200-300 euros for a new gpu(used) because you cant find new on that range. Also thats what's my question. Which one is better? Sell the whole laptop to get some cash back and buy a new one or buy a used gpu? And if I sell the laptop how much its price gonna drop? Should I say that the gpu is not working?

    The GT70 is only worth a couple hundred, without a working GPU.

    You should buy a used GTX 970M.

    You can look into having the card repaired. It stands to be a temporary fix, if it fixes anything, but is cheaper than replacing the card or buying a new system and can possibly buy you time to save money for whatever you choose to do.

    Actually the gpu is dead. I sent it to more than 4 people to fix it and I already payed around 150 euro for it to get fix but nothing happened

    If it's GPU then it's still going to be cheaper to replace it rather than purchasing a brand new system.

    GTX 970M and GTX 980M are the only cards you should be considering, if buying an entirely new laptop is out of the question.

    I mean there's the 770M, 780M also. 670M and 680M might work.

    The GTX 970M isn't the same as a desktop 970, btw.
