I spent some hours looking for an replacement mainboard or Northbridge Chip. All suppliers from the third party are still looking and the Asus part store is out of stock.
Engineer has checked the power latch fault. The CPU has been tested as OK. It is suspected that the Northbridge Chip is faulty. Unfortunately this part is not available from there suppliers and it means that the laptop would need a mainboard replacement.
The part number for the motherboard is 60NB06M0-MB1240 So does anyone know where I can get one?
Also (cheaper option) is there away to chnage the Northbridge? does anyone know if there is an place that deals with the Northbridge chip.
Regards, And Aren't happy that this has happen
