TBF if its the motherboard your better off chucking it in the bin
unless someone has one with a duff screen that they no longer want.
If either Mboard or screen is blown your looking at 50% of the value
so its not economical to repair. Having said that we use these people
now and again

they will collect and return for you.

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release
System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a
snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a
fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
