Vostro 3460 cant boot - video card fault

$

Hi,

My laptop cannot start up (not even to dell screen). This has been getting gradually worse over time but now I can very rarely start.

It took me more thamn 100 attempts last night but I eventually was able to run diagnostics and got the following error:

Error code 2000-0332
Validation 105218
Ms video memory - video memory test discrepancy
Location 0xc3f00000

Sp looks like the video card is faulty, I assume this is onboard so will need an entire motherboard replacement?

Sadly I'm just out of warranty by a couple of months.

I've seen a few forums advising to upgrade BIOS, currently BIOS vA14 but I dont see how this will resolve a hardware fault.

Any suggestions other than replacing motherboard?
