    Recently, my laptop has developed this issue that requires me to run the laptop a few hours to allow the machine to "warm up", otherwise the laptop just wont boot up (not even showing the BIOS page).

    I have consulted with a repairer, and was told that it needs a new motherboard or at least a repair on it.

    Does anyone know where I can source a new motherboard?

    Thanks a lot in advance for your help!!

    The support guy is right- probably chipset is separating from the mobo it can be repaired or replaced. It seems that ebay is the best source of motherboards. Used one can be quite affordable at times but Ferrari 1000 is not the most popular notebook so it may turn out to be expensive.
