I have a Toshiba Satellite P50-BOOG Serial No. YEO15554S. It has sided on me after 18 months and the repair man says it needs a new mother

board. It seems that Toshiba do not recognise the numbers above. I am wondering if this is a copy of Toshiba although I bought it from reputable retailer. Its a lot of money to throw away. Do you know of anyone who deals with Toshiba mother boards in NZ?
