Hummina. That's some bad news to discover, all right... I'm kind of concerned about my laptop, actually, since it runs all the time in a dusty old house with wood heat and not the greatest seals on the stove, either. The only problem there is that while it's already out of warranty and I have no particular fear of cracking the case to apply some air to the parts that might need it (a previous laptop had to be disassembled and the RAM re-seated every month or so due to inadequate mounting fixtures; I quiclky lost my dread of such things) the problem is that I can't actually find how it comes apart - the case seems to be devoid of screw holes.
Granted, a search on the model number and "how to" will probably turn up the info I need or at least point to it, but then there's the problem of it being the only computer in the house. Oh well, hopefully you can get things straightened out without too much difficulty, Logan, but finding an exact replacement mobo is not something I would bet on, even after only two years - in hardware time, that's decades.
