I'm looking for a perfectly working X40 or an X41 mainboard. (mine won't power up - the usual capacitor issues)
Processor and RAM could be any kind, and I don't need any additional components.

Europe preferred, but if you are in the US and are willing to ship it, it's fine for me as well.

Just to give yo an idea of the price.

there are several coming & going around $150-200 on eBay, guess I'll have to grab one of those then...

I have also contacted a local repair expert, he said that it would be repairable if there would be spare power controller IC's available. But apparently there are none - at least in Hungary
