Whats the chances on a Motherboard going twice within a few months

[Guest]

Laptop came back today and it seems they fitted another Motherboard, second one within a few months and its not a year old yet.
Can anybody tell me how common this is ?? I'm afraid to use it now in case it goes again.

Val,

Most failures happen at the beginning or at the end of the 'life' of electronic equipment. As it is less than a year old ) and thus within warranty} then a replacement motherboard should be free of charge; not sure about replacement labour costs.

You have either been very unlucky and/or the repair shop is using low quality components. Or you have picked on a cowboy repair shop!

Might be worth talking to your local Citizens advice Bureau.

I suspect the cost of repairs is approaching the cost of a new replacement laptop.

just because they have fitted a new motherboard, does not necessarily mean that the same component on it has failed....

I suspect you have just been unlucky Val....

I bought this from you know where PC World, and could kick myself as I also bought my pc from them and the Motherboard went within 2 weeks on that.
I would never use them again for even a battery
