My girlfriends HP TouchSmart (Touchsmart tx2 - 1025DX) recently crapped out. When I turn it on, all lights turn on except for the screen. The LED's by the caps lock and num lock keys blink once.

Upon checking the hp website it says that it is a CPU error. I chatted with a rep online and he said I'd have to take it to a service center. Problem is, their website doesnt list one within a 100 miles of Providence RI.

The machine itself is mint. No blemishes and from what I remember it was a pretty speedy for being a touchscreen laptop.

Anyways, I kind of want to save it because I'd like a 'nice' laptop. What do you guys recommend I do? I pretty inclined to try and go and replace the CPU but If I can pay someone $50 + parts that would be alot easier. What do you all think i should do?

Edit:
I just disassembled the machine. I see nothing visable on the motherboard and the processor looks almost too clean. (# tmrm72dam22gg) Anyways if any of you are in the Providence area let me know if you think you can fix and maybe we can work something out.
Edit2: Motherboard is # 504466-001
