Sounds a bit excessive to me. If you're in Dublin try Beyond 2000 on Chatham Row off Grafton Street. There's a computer repair shop based there run by a decent lad who'll look after you. Alternatively try Computer City on 01-2820458, they're in Ballybrack.

If it's the part on the laptop, it could be cheap, as most laptops have the power bit soldered to the motherboard, so a new motherboard is needed most of the time.

OP, I had the same issue, this guy in Carlow quoted me €90 all in.
He came recommended in this thread:

€90 is reasonable. We charge €99 (€94 if you like the Facebook page) but we don't charge extra for any parts, its all included. Just so you know that €35 they are charging is for if they have to use a new part that can easily be gotten for under €10 sometimes under €5 rather than re using the old one.
