If it's not the ADB thing suggested, then $212 sounds cheap for a motherboard
replacement. To find the suspect chip(s) and replace it seems hard, since
I believe all the components are soldered directly into the motherboard, or
soldered and maybe glued in place in the case of the surface mount components.
I wish I could get one outright for that price.
