How easy is it to replace a motherboard in a notebook?

This was an $1800 laptop so $450 is closer to 30%, which is why I would consider it.

FYP, fwiw. Seems they are going for $500ish used on ebay. So it might be worth it to take a shot, just make sure you keep track of which microscrews went where.

I most definately wouldn't spend $450 to have it professionaly serviced when you could obtain a fully functional used duplicate for the same price.
