Replacing the FS51 Motherboard on a Shuttle SS51G

After about 18 months continuous use the motherboard in my SS51G has
failed and it has taken the Pentium CPU with it. I have proved that
both are faulty by substitution. Not sure why it failed because it
has never overheated, so I guess just a random failure, although I
have seen previous reports on here.

I trawled through this forum and followed some links, but it looks
like the FS51 mobo is no longer available from Shuttle.

Can anyone suggest a source of a replacement mobo or maybe even
another manufacturers board that would fit the case? I have built
many computers so fitting should not be a problem.

Would be grateful for any advice, even if you tell me it's a lost
cause.

Regards,

Virgo.

yes - try Sato in Australia, they were Shuttle agents, but they recenty lost
their distributorship - they have lots of spares though, I bought a new
motherboard for SB61G2 only last week and they seemed to have a good spares
stock - their web site is www.satotech.com.au
