I have a friends Gateway laptop and i'm trying to do them a favor and fix it. I've determined that the motherboard is fried and needs to be replaced. Problem is I can't find an exact replacement as far as the model number goes. There are 2 model numbers on the back of the laptop. The first is MA3, and the number I can't match is MX6431. I've found a bunch which have the model number MA3. They seem to be the same shape with the same components in the same spots. But I don't want to buy one and have it not be compatible for some reason. Can anyone help me out?
Here's a link to what i'm looking at:
Gateway MA3 MX6446 Motherboard 31MA3MB00A3 fully Tested - eBay (item 140319165096 end time Jun-05-09 16:45:46 PDT)
GATEWAY MA3 MX6450 AMD MOTHERBOARD CPU RAM 31MA3MB0030 - eBay (item 370203262617 end time May-28-09 09:57:05 PDT)
And if not, can someone point me in the direction of the right part?
-EDIT-
I found this during my never ending search:
Gateway Motherboard 31MA3MB00A3 for Gateway Models 4006133R,MX6439, MX6446, MX6447, MX6431
Looks like the first link will work according to this.
