A lot of CPU's are very difficult to take out of a laptop because they are sort of embedded as one.
Even if you do get it off, it would have to be the same socket type as your motherboard. In your case it is a AMD AM3/AM3+ socket. .

I think it will depend if your motherboard supports the cpu that's in the laptop
Have you pulled apart a laptop before? Not something I would try for elimination purposes.
I would go to a local computer shop and buy a second hand PSU to eliminate that first.

Might be a time for shop to take a look and replace offending part under warranty...
im glad you came to that conclusion mate, its the same as my thoughts as per mine and matts discussion last night

Ok. So it appears it is the graphics card.
I took it to an msy branch up here in brisbane. They refused to even look at it as I did not purchase it from them. I let it known that this was a joke and left.
Took it elsewhere and $80 later I have an answer. So now its just going through warranty with the seller. Joy.

Why would MSY look at it though? Don't know about there, but here in VIC MSY are just stockists, they aren't repairers. Sorta like going to Burson's to diagnose a part you bought at Repco - they wont do it, they'll send you to a mechanic or back to Repco.

MSY are stockists but will also diagnose faults(doesnt mean they will repair them just replace the parts), for a fee as all other computer shops do... they are just bigger

Must be branch dependant mate as this branch certainly did repairs. Was on their sign and all.

Good to see it was diagnosed mate.
Spewing your mobo didn't have on board video would have been instantly clear card was at fault when I asked about it .
At least you're getting somewhere.
Curious , what card and brand ?
