well the average ebay price used with this problem sells for $165 US

they sell for $400-$500 US used working without the failing part

they sell for $150 canadian currency on craiglist with broken problem

I am going to get the video chip re-balled, i assume the solder melted as the chip got to hot and the re-ball will fix all that. 90 day guarantee and only $135 us. thats half price over asus repair depot with no guarantee and a 75 km drive away.

just finish the thread, I got it fixed for $135 Canadian, it works like a charm. with windows 7 and the latest beta for NVIDIA drivers the GPU runs on average at 73C and during Dragons age gaming FAN IS ON and it runs about 82C.

I haven't continued gaming for hours or anything but to let you know this is with a new chip installed.

Excellent price.

I paid $135 and i was repaired, works perfectly ever since. only goes to about 85C during games , fan is never on full speed anymore. I think they put a new chip in or a used or something. Didn't matter 90 day warranty!

So far good!

Hello Joejiz,

I would keep your eye on that temperature as it seems a little high. I would check it every few days and if it starts to rise then you should get back on to Asus immediately.

Fingers crossed that it will be ok though.

Good luck and best wishes
