Black Panther, I'm in the same boat as you. My $2400 Toshiba X205-SLi4 had 2 8600m GT cards in SLI, and those died 4 times. Warranty ran out, and I had to just scrap the laptop and get a new one. My new laptop that I got late last year (Toshiba A665D-S6091) for $699 turned out to be a much better investment. Runs cooler, CPU is faster, the screen is much better, it's half the weight, takes half the power, yet gets the same score in 3DMark06 as my old 2008 laptop. Sometimes, you just have to move on. I should have bought the $1200 Gateway FX with the 8800M GS instead back then.
