Hi! I have had a long struggle with defects in my m14x r2. First they changed my motherboard once because it was something wrong with the sata port. Then they had to change the bt/wifi radio. and now I have some weird issue on startup where my screen doesn't turn on after 2min. Now I have finally got dell to relies that this is nothing sw related and they will now change my motherboard again. But I have some questions. Will they also change my gpu? understand that this is a part of the motherboard? Have some issues with playing games and am worried that i have a defect in the gpu. (crysis 3 on lowest setting puts the gpu to full capacity and gives me 12fps).
Dell is sending a tech guy here on Tuesday to fix it, he will change my motherboard, so just wanna make sure he fixes everything, cos im sick of this errors now.

Because the GPU of the m14xR2 is soldered to the motherboard, he will most likely replace both things

Replacing the motherboard will also mean replacing all components embedded on it, and one of them is the GPU.
