    Hey folks, recently my laptop's motherboard has died. It has resisted my every attempt at fixing it. (I was 3 for 3 against the problems it has been throwing at me for the last few months, but it only takes 1 loss to declare the motherboard irreparably broken.)

    The bottom line is that I need to find some place to get a Clevo M570TU motherboard from. I found a company in the UK that claims to fix laptops and listed my model as one they are able to fix, but I'm in the USA. Also, there allegedly exists a Clevo store, but it appears to be down and I'm not even sure if a mass production company like Clevo would sell individual parts of units. Does anyone know a place that even sells these things? Talking to Sager looks like a dead end, or at least a terrifying customer service experience.

    As a last resort, any motherboard compatible with Intel's Penryn line, DDR3, and the MXM 4 HE GPU interface would suffice. I have no problem with hacking something together from another laptop altogether provided it's specs check out. So if anyone knows another laptop that would seem to be compatible with the M570TU, please let me know so I can look into it.

    Every little bit helps.
    Thanks!

    Call RJtech. Mobo should be around $490.
