M17XR4 Needs Motherboard

[Robertq]

So I've been searching high and low for a motherboard for my M17xr4. The part number I got from Dell is T9CPM. I can only seem to find ones that are over seas and for crazy high prices. Dell wants to charge me $430 + tax. I'm wanting to see if I can find the part and have my local shop do the replacement if possible. I was hoping someone in here can help me out.

Thanks

What is the issue with the MB?

I'm in the market for a new board as well as previous owner ripped the video connector right off the motherboard trying to disassemble the laptop. I'm the process of reassembling the components to at least see if that's all the issue as it seems no parts missing.
i7 CPU, 2 4GB Rams, 2 video cards and cooling fans and 2 500gb hard drives.

i'm hoping it powers up and only requires minor replacement parts.

seems MB is around $300 US , worth replacing if all other parts are OK.

I'll keep Ya's informed as i progress!
