@michelehoyle "buy a non-working one and just swap everything over" that'll be a big job which requires the proper equipment and the skills to do board level repairs. It's possible but may not be a good idea if you don't have the tools or the experience. Let us see what the damage looks like. Maybe it can somehow be fixed/bypassed. If nothing else, look for a working motherboard and then replace yours.
