Hi Ismail, sorry to hear about your motherboard. We sell motherboards for this device in our store but they are currently out of stock. I'm checking for you to see when they'll be back in stock. Alternatively, eBay can be a source for parts or a used device and maybe you can harvest parts. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. Thanks!

Hi Ismail, we're not sure when we'll have more motherboards for this device. We hope to have them in the future but don't have a date. You might try eBay like I mentioned or Amazon sometimes has parts too. I'm sorry I don't have a more definitive answer for you. I hope you find a motherboard soon!
