Well, I'm not TOO sure on whether its bad mobo or not, but the symptoms are: -blank screen on boot-up/no boot -when it does boot up (safe mode/normal boot), it freezes after an hour tops. no keyboard commands work I sort of figure...

Well, it's not a "craptacular" cheap lappy by any stretch. If it was, would they be going for $1500+ in good condition? I will take your $300 into consideration, but I saw a bad mobo'd 7700 go for $800 a few months ago. I'm...

how much do you guys think my laptop is worth, now, with the bad mobo (I put up an ad in the "for sale" section...). I gotto get rid of this thing now. I don't want to repair/replace the mobo anymore. I'd rather get a new...

I'm having like the same problem. Except I didn't replace my mobo yet. Planning on it I think. My computer SOMETIMES boots up fine, and then after a couple hours, will freeze up...when i reboot...the LCD just stays black. I never...
