Trying to track down a D900T System Board in the UK

[ETSLTD2003]

i recently purchased a Clevo D900T/Alienware M7700. When it arrived i was very happy, everything was present until i went to disassemble it as i smelt something slightly off.

On tearing down the laptop i made a horrifying discovery.

part of the laptops 5v rail had exploded and burned an entire crater into the board. a small Diode for the ADJ Audio board had also blown according to the schematics in the service manual

sadly i don't think the motherboard can be saved and i require a replacement, sadly the sites i usually look for parts had everything but a system main-board. The model is 71-D90T0-D05.

Hopefully i can find some fellow Clevo experts.

Did you find a replacement yet?

I have found a board, but when i checked it was like £375-ish... Way more than the computers worth.

But technically it's the only board i can find. Unless you know of anyone with one.
