Where can I find a replacement motherboard for MB 2.16 intel core 2 duo?

Hi,
One of my bosses has a macbook 2.16 GHz that's been diagnosed with a fried motherboard. He'll have to get a new one. And he asked me to shop around for a replacement. I don't see anything out there other than one on ifixit.com site. How can this be since it's a relatively new computer. When I do a search on Google I am often directed to sites that sell all kinds of replacement CPUs/processors/motherboards, often saying nothing about being ok to use in macs. Can someone please point me in a direction or two, or give me some terminology so that I can see whether or not NewEgg etc, offers parts that I can use in a mac?
Thanks much in advance,
Sheila

I've always bought used mother boards on ebay. Sometimes it means buying an entire laptop with perhaps a bad display or other bad parts.
If you take this route you pretty much need to be able to replace it yourself because I don't think you are likely to find a service shop that will take your used parts to fix your computer. They would ot be able to guarantee anything if they are installing unknown hardware.

    Personally I would let well enough alone if that is the only flaw. Also it is best to replace the display panel with an exact duplicate. Usually the motherboard is different if you have the higher res screen and they are not compatible. In other words, your motherboard/video card is different than a laptop with the high res screen, probably. The cable will fit...LED is LED, but the screen will look funky if they are not compatible. So really this is not probably your opportunity to upgrade the screen. Here is your exact replacement on amazon.com at $66 which is a very good deal:
    http://www.amazon.com/HP-641629-001-Laptop-Screen-1600x900/dp/B005NBNTJU
    Apparently they will not say whether you get glossy or matte, but at that price who cares?.
    Here is the description of the panel with the full HD resolution:
    17.3-in, AntiGlare, FHD, LED, display panel for use only with computer models equipped
    with an Intel processor

    They do not give the price, you have to call. It might work but can't guarantee. Partsurfer is not giving a price for either part but based on past experience, somewhere over $200 is a good guess.

    I have 2010 macbook white 13 inch and need a replacement battery - where can i find the specs needed for the replacement?

    The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for you for $129. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.

    Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.

  • Where can I find a power charger for my G3 ibook

    Just broke my 4 year old g3 iBook power charger by walking into the cord and snapping it off at the power source. Where can I find a replacement power cord charger for this 750pc G3 iBook?

    There are third party choices for an adapter, also:
    MCE Technologies
    http://www.madsonline.com/index.html?
    MacAlly adapter at Amazon.com
    Micro Accessories adapter at Other World Computing
    Apple's is the only one with the glowing ring to indicate charging status, though, and can be found here:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M89 43LL/A
    I believe the one from Other World Computing is one of the sturdiest of the lot. The MacAlly adapter's cord is a bit flimsier than the one from Other World Computing, but both are working fine on our iBooks. We haven't tried the pricier ones.

  • Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

    Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

    The detailed problem is that I had used the computer for a long time without turning off.  I wanted to give it to someone else so I needed to clean the data off. Before deleting anything I switched off then on and the HD seemed to have developed a fault as the start up routine began then when the Hd started the computer crashed and restarted at the begining with the startup routine and I have not been able to go further than this.  I changed the HD for an old one that I had replaced previously which had the same software system, Leopard.  This worked perfectly but on switching off then on behaved as the other had. 
    I figured that if I could start with the restore disc I could clean the HD or at least investigate it.  Hence the need for a restore disc.
    Would this work or is there something in the logic board that is upsetting the HD and what ever I do will not cure the problem.
    Any thoughts??

    I doubt it is available.. and since a new Mac doesn't even have an optical drive.. there is no need whatsoever today for the cd.. it is all available in the OS or download. In fact the stuff on the cd will now be totally out of date.

    I'm no expert on eBay, but I'd look for a vendor that has made plenty of transactions with positive feedback and isn't going to gouge on the postage and packing. This search comes up with a few to choose from, but I'm in the UK so you may need to tweak it if you're elsewhere.
