New logic board, have no idea cost, ask a repair shop that is an authorized repair center or take to an Apple store.

It would probably be too expensive to fix ... I think you have to replace the entire logic board.

You can check iFixit.com for prices.

I've actually done this. This is a common problem for PBG4s. The fix is to replace the whole logic board. I got one for about $175 off of eBay. I found the fix to be relatively easy, though I'm pretty good with these things.

Oddly enough, I've actually got a 1.67 GHz board for a 15" PBG4 that I've been meaning to put up on eBay but haven't gotten around to doing it yet... I'd be willing to sell it to you, PM me if you're interested.

the whole logic board needs to be replaced. Happened on my pb; not fun

I have nothing to add other than:

1) Replacing the logic board is not that hard. There are step-by-step manuals out there, but I can't remember which one I used.

2) Don't forget to fix the caps lock key, too.
