Ok my question is does the 1522 ACER ASPIRE come with separate graphics card daughter board or is the GPU attached to the main motherboard.

I know that the 1350 series had a separate chip.

Also do you think that the GPU is the problem.

I ask this since I've recently put it into get repaired and they want 320€ + VAT to fix it.

A new FX5700Go card cost 159+ VAT so the installation is costing 150€ which I think is very steep. When I phoned them they said it needed the chip to be soldered but I am wondering if they are telling me the truth.
