    Hi! This is my first post and it's just because of a doubt that I've had for the last month.

    I had a P-6801mFX and it just died, based on what I've been seeing, all of the FX laptops have the same chassis so my question is:

    Is there a way to put a P-7908u motherboard in my chassis or am I just mad and need to find the one that I bought first?

    I'd be really thankful if you answered!

    no one has tried it yet. The primary concern is the original CPU and GPU with heatsinks. I am not sure they are all the same. Also the media bar power board etc................
