    Again, please check if you are in warranty. And it's better to send it off to Emachines because you get a 90 day warranty on parts, vs the typical 30 day from many Ebay sellers.

    no, amigo, warranty is gone, I need to replace the motherboard, and this emchine one is too rare an dexpensive to get, so I would like to set in another cheaper, and probably better one, any idea?

    You can try Blue Raven, very good place for OOW stuff. They aren't that cheap though.

    Blue Raven Technology, Inc. your technology partner for repairs, reverse logistics, retail products, service parts for Apple/Sony/IBM/Gateway/Compaq/HP/Toshiba/Dell/eMachines

    And again, you can try shipping it off to Emachines.

    You may also want to consider a new notebook, a new motherboard in a low priced Emachines may not be worth the headache, put the money towards a new computer.
