    I purchased a G51J december 1 year ago
    And spilled liquid on it
    the motherboard is fried

    Can't figure out what the "model" of the motherboard is, hence can't find the piece anywhere, nor a replacement as I can't figure out what is compatible... obviously

    Anyone knows what it is, or how to figure it out, providing the fact that the computer is not functional, and I can't use a program to figure it out!

    Thank you!

    The motherboard is a G51J or G60J motherboard, they are the same, and are specific to those models (it is not a generic motherboard like in a desktop). You'll need a replacement from a parted-out system (look on ebay) or you can call ASUS or try the asus estore, but that will be more expensive.

    If you purchased it a year ago, it should still be under warranty, so you could set up an RMA with asus to have it repaired (probably at your cost since the accidental warranty is only 1 year).
