OT: I need a new motherboard.

Randall, you could replace the capacitors, if you can get any. Most computer companies want you to buy all new stuff. My neighbor brought his laptop over and wanted to know if I could replace two keyboard keys. I called Dell for replacement keys and for 45 mins., talking to 5 different people I was told I had to buy the whole keyboard. The same will be true of the capacitors AND they would have to be matched to your system power requirements. There are only a hand full of people that know how to do that anymore (soldering it and actually finding the right one). Nowdays they just want to sell you the whole unit.
