    Try Ebay chiefs, I think I saw a few around. I guess you can also call up dell and see if they will sell one to you.

    Cheers.

    Im changing it because there was wine spilled on the keyboard and the motherboard is fried.I get power but all i get is a white screen and three beeps (one long beep and two short beeps). Thanks for the links but those were motherboards for a m17 not a m17r1.What does the r1 mean anyway and could i put a r2 motherboard in?
