About the only way to find it from here is to swap in spare parts not really something you can do easily, but a used CPU would be the cheapest part to start with.

What is the prognosis without doing either of these, I mean how much longer can I continue to use the laptop before something major goes wrong? I know it's difficult to tell, I just wanted to know your experience on the matter. Regards
