Name/Model of motherboard?

[Teisemanden]

Greetings.

Im in the tough position of being without a laptop due to a dead MB. it gets even tougher when the store a brought it from goes bankrupt. But we're not done yet. When i visit a different repair shop they tell me they cant find a new MB for me.. tough stuff.

Now here i am trying to find the MB myself. As you can imagine, its not easy without a model number or a name. This is why im here.
The laptop goes under different names.
It is being sold as an
ASUS F3 Series F3T-AP042C NoteBook
(http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5&l2=26&l3=316&model=1412&modelmenu=1)
And as an
MSI M677 Crystal Collection
(http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3527)

Any suggestions on what motherboard might be in these bastards?

Kind regards.

Hmmmm... since you've nothing to lose... have you tried opening up the laptop and seeing what's printed on the boards?

+1^ on TonCharr28, just use common sense, NOT force

Also( but Im not 100% on that) i think SiSoft Sandra gives quite good info regarding mobo, you might give CPU-Z a shot as well. I never tried it on any OEM pc or laptop but Sandra Lite is free and so is CPU-Z so just download them ad try.
