Hi Al! I'm new to this forum and am seeking assistance with replacement of my MSI motherboard - GL63 9SDK model - 16P71 ver. 1 is printed on the motherboard. Windows 10. About 6 weeks ago I started having intermittent operational and crashing problems. I tried the Windows 10 restore procedure and it ultimately caused a complete unrestorable crashed situation. I sent the laptop to the MSI factory service center in CA. They diagnosed it needs another motherboard. Price tag was way more than what would be prudent compared to the computer's worth after the repair.
I have many year's experience working on digital electronics components - (now retired). I would like to replace the motherboard with one of the many that are available online and taken from working laptops. My questions are, which part numbers on the motherboard do I need to use to locate an appropriate replacement and does this repair make sense?
There are may MSI laptops that use the same circuit board layout as my bad board, however they often have many different part numbers.
Any help will be appreciated. Joely
