    You have to buy one that was made for a ZE2000 laptop. They aren't just standard motherboards you can buy from anywhere...

    That being said, you'll have to check eBay and spare parts forums to find it. That's an old part and you'll be lucky to find one.

    There are multiple versions of ze2000 series mainboard.

    There is one for AMD CPU and another for Intel CPU. This is critical if you are going to reuse your existing CPU.

    Another difference is the presence of optional features, such as 1394, which isn't critical. If you didn't originally have additional ports, but the new board has a connector, you might have to make a hole in your chassis.

    Once you get the computer part, the board will have a white sticker that says "replace with #####-###". Your best bet is to find one with the identical part number.
