    Hi, before I spend money on the emachine 627 motherboard on ebay (there was not the 625 I need), I want to know if I will be able to adapt it to the broken e625 I have. Thank you

    Too many variables.

    Take a chance and let the rest of the community know your results?

    Good luck.

    Although many eMachines are very similar, no guarantees that it will work/fit. Look up the service manual.

    And yet again, buy a new computer, D627 can be bought brand new for around 279..

    Although you could get a new laptop in some countries for under 200$, It appears this company has some much better prices on the exact motherboard you are looking for.
    China (Mainland) Acer E625 laptop motherboard exhibition

    It looks like the e725 and e525 motherboards are pretty similar as well.
