    I have a Clevo W650KK1 with a defective mainboard. The GTX1050ti is defective, error 43 in the device manager. As soon as another driver is installed, blue screen & crash.
    After a reflow attempt, the device does not start at all ... LEDs for the battery light up, the power LED briefly switches on and off again, regardless of whether it is with or without a battery. The fans don't spin.

    Now I'm looking for a replacement mainboard for the part, but somehow there seems to be nothing for the W650KK1 of all places. There are still 2 identical mainboards with MX150 (W650KL) and GTX1050 (W650KJ1), but you won't find them either. There are plenty of the W650SJ, but that doesn't fit because the RAM / CPU / GPU arrangement is different.

    Yeah the parts for those series can be difficult to find, have you hit up your local resellers?

    yes, all Clevo resellers here in Germany ... none of them have a mainboard. Well, someone offered one for 400 € ... and that's a very cheeky price.

    If you're perusing Ebay, it'd be helpful to know all the reseller model names - I do my rounds on Ebay with *all* the relevant model names, and then I search for "Parts" by anything matching - Processor normally. Not many laptops with desktop processors, which makes finding Clevo stuff easy :)

    That's around what I'd expect for a GPU integrated motherboard.
