    It was randomly stoping to charge for like two months, and one day, it stoped and now its dead, and I cant charge it.

    I tried dissembling the whole thing, but there seemed nothing wrong one the motherboard conector.
    (I have 3 different chargers, so the problem is in the laptop)

    I called up acer, and they told me that it would cost 500$ for a new motherboard, and it would take more than a month. So thats not an option, I could get a new laptop for that.

    Thanks in advance

    WEll, then I don't see what you can do.

    I guess maybe it would be worth it to get a new laptop since yours is a bit dated, you might be able to get a lower end system and use your existing ram and HDD.

    (Careful though it might not be the same type of RAM or HDD if you try to put it in a new notebook)
