[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1016468, member: 24160"] There is no good way to repair a mother board unless you are in possession of "excellent" skills at soldering. Especially when you don't even know what's wrong with it when you buy it. Could have bad caps, graphics card, power supply, network card, SATA port died, audio port died, etc.... what equipment do you have to even test a board to determine what needs repairing? In many cases, you'll not be able to find the individual part, you'll need to scavenge it from another board where that part is still working. Sorry, imho, this is a bad idea. As you say you still need a battery, hard drive, optical drive, RAM - There's another $250-$300 right there. If the board is $200, how much is the screen with the housing? another $200... you're still up to $600-$700 minimum. [/QUOTE]
