While I was working in predator 15 lap I was working regarding rendering the model suddenly my lap shutdowns after that it didn't turn on and I kept on trying different methods to turn on while watching this community I didn't got any solution after I showed it to genuine Acer service centre were he told graphic card is damaged hv to replace complete motherboard I need any other solution to sort out this situation.

akhil95 im afraid that if they diagnosed the gpu died theres nothing you or anyone can do about it the gpu/cpu are soldered to the mobo they arent replaceable only a full mobo replacement if youre still on warranty they might replace it if they diagnose it was not user self damage but if youre out of warranty expect a large bill for a mobo replacement or try to find a used donor mobo

Expect to pay USD $400+++ (if you do the install yourself) for the mobo, have a look on ebay or AliExpress, this is with an i7-6700HQ and a GTX970M, have a look here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32966378720.html good luck

The downside of it its that most of the times you never find the exact combo that you previously had i had replaced some mobos and most of the times i had to sacrifice the gpu to a lower to get the exact same specs as i had in the previous one for ex same number of ram slots and internal hdds and no they arent cheap at all but its way cheaper assembling it yourself than pay someone to do it if you know how to
