What I am looking for is a motherboard. I was working on a freelance project and all of a sudden my mobo stopped working. The authorized service center said that the mobo is not repairable. When I asked at some local shops they said that the model I need is not being manufactured nowadays:(. It is out of stock on Flipkart.
Please help me. :(
