Replacment Motherboard for my Gateway Laptop?

[computingandrebooting]

Hello, My laptop broke months ago and I am trying hard to find a replacement motherboard.

My model is the Gateway NV57H17u
https/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834101264

I have been searching for months but there are no NV57H17u models online for sale. My question is will one of the models listed below have a suitable replacement motherboard? I relize the components are much different, notably that all the ones I listed are 4gb memorys and mine is a 6gb memory. Does this mean that there will only be enough room for 4gb? Or will there be room to put in my 6gb?

I notice there are very similar models for sale like these... Will they have same motherboard?

What is the difference between NV57H17u, NV57H26U, NV57H54U, or NV57H77u in terms of motherboards?

Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated, I have been trying to figure this out for months and am getting nowhere!

Thank you

MERGED QUESTION
Question from computingandrebooting : "Need to find replacment motherboard for Laptop"

Hello all,

My Gateway laptop Fried last year and now I want to fix it by replacing the motherboard. The problem is that I cannot find an exact replacement for my model number anywhere online, the model number is NV57H17u. I have searched everywhere for over a month. All I can come up with is similar models that match the number p5ws0 or other 'NV" series laptops.

So my question is, if I cant find NV57H17u can I use the motherboard from any p5ws0 or "NV" series model? The specs of this are often different from NV57H17u, but the case looks the same. Will they all have the same motherboard as NV57H17u?

I mean on the flip side if I buy an "NV" Series or "p5ws0" Gateway used, maybe one with a better processor, will there be room to put in my 6 gigs of ram from the broken one?

Here are the specs of my current broken computer.
Gateway Laptop NV57H17u Intel Core i3 2nd Gen 2310M (2.10 GHz) 6 GB Memory 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

A quick search of ebay brings up similar 'NV" series models but none are exactly the same as my NV57H17u. Some examples are ... Gateway NV57H54U 15.6" Inch 2.3GHz i3-2350M 4GB DDR3 500GB Notebook PC Win7 OR Gateway P5WS0 15.6" Laptop, Intel Celeron, 4GB 320GB Windows 7 Home. Will i be able to build a working computer trying to piece together one of these with my current NV57H17u model? Or are there going to be compatibility issues?

Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I would highly advice you no to change MB, because it can be very difficult, and I do not really think the end product is worth it.

If I am not wrong all the Intel core i3 uses the same socket, as long as they are from the same generation.
The ram sockets are pretty standard, as long as they are from the same year or so.
Most likely do they use the same Mobo, and it should fit if the case is the same.
