DELL 1558 Motherboard 04DKNR Graphics Card
I purchased this laptop before 5 years and has been working quite well. Last month it displayed a blue screen with some error. I showed my laptop to local vendor just to identify what's problem with it.
The vendor mentioned that the graphics card isn't working and hence will have to replace motherboard.
Laptop configuration:
DELL 1558 Studio
Motherboard 04DKNR
What are other alternative for me for having this fixed?
I'm from India so suggest solution which I can get in India.
Thank you!

There is no real alternative to having the board replaced. It is possible to replace the GPU but the labor cost will likely add up to more than the cost of a replacement board.
The other issue is the age of the system - this system is now 6-7 years old. The question you may want to consider is whether it's worth putting a $200-300US or the equivalent into a system this old. You may be better off buying a new system than in repairing this old one.
