Jssar

so i found out the problem on my nitro 5 gtx 1650 i5 10th gen and i wanna know how much would it cost to fix the cpu if it’s possible to be fixed

What EXACTLY did you find out is the problem with the CPU? Describe what you found out.

CPUs & GPUs are usually soldered to the mainboard. They can't easily be replaced. Special tools and intensive labor are needed. Costs would likely exceed the cost of a new mainboard.

what happened was some electrical contact that what the repair shop told me the problem was.

That Nitro laptop that you have sounds like its an AN515-55 laptop? And if the cpu has any connection problem that makes it unfunctional then the cpu needs to be either refloated or removed and its mainboard connections cleaned from solder and the cpu needs to be reballing and resoldered, which is a big job and a specialist job that mot many technicians do that needs special tools to be done correctly, if your cpu is faulty and needs changing then you need to buy a new mainboard.

The mainboards for an AN515-55 Acer dosent list and hasent got any part numbers for in the service guide, so I can't give you a straight Acer part number reference, you will need to take this reference number from your old mainboard. To get a new mainboard, search the web and see what they cost or search your local area or country or the web for a technician that specializes in refloating, reballing and fixing cpu connections.

Please state the reason why you took it to the repair shop. In other words, please explain what happened to the laptop before you decided to take it to the repair shop.

i was playing games on it and when im playing in a mid match the laptop just turned off randomly without saying anything

(1) Was laptop sitting on hard surface like desk when this happened? Or on soft surface like bed?

(2) What is the full model number? For example, AN515-54?

(3) How long have you had laptop?

• 1) it was on my lap

• 2)not really sure but i think its AN515-55-55HZ

• 3)around 1.5-2 years

not really sure but i think its AN515-55-55HZ

Press WIN+R. Enter 'msinfo32'. The model number should be in the right pane.

Jssar

well i cant do that cause the laptop wont turn on but im pretty sure thats the model cause it got the same specs

Ask the repair shop to re-flow the CPU solder contacts with a heat gun. This might fix the broken CPU contacts.

will try it out thank you for your help
