    Hello everyone,

    I got a recommendation from my friend for your site/forum by the good reputation, so I registered to ask for your advice...

    I got a bad (undefined failure) notbook .
    YouTube - Toshiba Satellite A305 S6905 won't boot up .mp4

    I took it to determine fault and said that I was failure of mainboard... :(

    so...

    I wanted to ask, is there some other mainboard which has better graphics and it can be put to the same notebook, or must be original or replacement?

    Does anyone know how much would pay for the repair of the notebook?

    You could probably try for the motherboard with the 3650, but you then may have to shell out for a different heatsink assembly.

    Personally, I'd either recommend to spend either as little money as possible and get the motherboard for that model, or get an entirely new notebook altogether. It's an old model anyway.

    yes I could buy another, but since I got this for free, it's hard for the repair cost to get something better ...

    if you could tell me the tag, serial number of that matherboard? what to seek for?

    This is the orginal replacement:

    Laptop Motherboard:
    GM45,LD,KSW,WLA,MDC,CA,MIC,
    P 1310A2169921
    Alternate Part Numbers:
    V000126550
