Some deployments have extra (often) broken laptops on hand for spare parts (including motherboards). They're fully repairable if you have mobos; mobos just aren't sold alone. (I wish they were, but I believe there are some legal/IP/business reasons why they aren't - not too clear on the details though). Mchua 02:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
