Out of warranty Dell Inspiron 600m won't take charge
I've replaced the power supply and battery already. Dell tells me I need a new motherboard and this PC isn't worth a $500+ repair job.

Do you think it could be something besides the motherboard? If not is there somewhere reputable I could get a reasonably priced motherboard?

1. I don't think you can easily replace laptop MBs
I might be wrong, but I think they're pretty specific to the manufacturer. How old is the laptop? Might be time for a new one, anyway.

2. It's only 4 months out of warranty
It seems to be a common affliction. I found a place on ebay that will fix it for $125. They have 100% feedback rating. It's my daughter's laptop so she will just be stuck using the desktop for a while if it totally dies.

3. You Should Be Able To Get Them To Honor...
the warranty anyway. You have to suggest it to them first and keep on them about it.
