    Hi,

    My motherboard is dead with model # JAT10 and board number MBAZW02001. There's one in ebay with same model number but different board number ( MBARU02001 ), will this work for my laptop?

    There are two mobos for 2930 and one for 2930Z but part numbers don't fit what you've provided.

    From service guide:

    Mainboard AS2930 UMA Intel GM45 ICH9 w/ Docking MB.ART02.001
    Mainboard AS2930 UMA Intel GM45 ICH9 w/o Docking MB.ART02.002
    Mainboard AS2930Z/AS2430 Intel GL40 ICH9 LF MB.ARU02.001

    So it seems you should stick to the one meant for 2930Z although it's apparently used in Aspire 2430 too- make sure to look for spares for 2430 as well.

    thanks!
    if i'm going to rewrite the one on top the board number in my laptop is MB.AZW02.001 ( MOTHERBOARD was disassembled already ) and the one from ebay is MB.ARU02.001. Do you think this MB.ARU02.001 will work for my laptop? if it doesn't work I can still return it to ebay but i have to shoulder the shipping for the return/exchange item.

    According to a service manual it will work.
