The cost specified is the labour cost to install a motherboard into your computer.

Most mainboards fail due to heat, electronic failure (blown capacitors), unexpected power loss, defective power supplies, a power surge or simply poor quality hardware.

The price specified applies to installations into a generic clone computer.

Mainboard installations into proprietary computers, such as Dell's, HP's or Compaq's might be charged extra. These computers will also often need specific types of mainboards (proprietary mainboard layout) which could be cost prohibitive. Many boards from HP or Compaq can simply not be obtained, though often we have made generic boards work in them with few modifications. Dell boards are always proprietary in layout. However, they are available most of the time. Though often there is a substantial time delay to get them. Then can also be costly.

Apple and Lenovo (IBM) mainboards can be obtained within two working days (most) but might be costly.

Toshiba mainboards arrive mostly within about 1 week.

Installations into a laptop computer will cost more.

Most mainboard installation fees are bundled with a system diagnostic fee or laptop diagnostic fee.

Often an OS installation or OS repair is necessary in order to make a new replacement board work. Hence, the OS installation fee will apply in addition to the mainboard installation cost.

With the OS installation/repair we will configure and install all necessary device drivers.

Sometimes we cannot find a mainboard, even generic types, that are compatible with all the other hardware you currently own, hence, new memory or a new processor will need to be purchased in addition to the mainboard.

The mainboard cost is extra. Some mainboard costs are shown here. However, most of the boards needed for repair are not listed, as we need to get a board that is somewhat specific to the type of hardware you currently own, e.g.; it will need to work with your your CPU and memory in order to keep the cost as low as possible.

Most mainboards we sell come with a 3year manufacturer warranty (Asus). We sell primarily Asus mainboards..

Labour costs do not come with any form of warranties or guarantees and are non-refundable.
