If you ship just the motherboard shipping shouldn't be more than 30 USD as the motherboard packed wouldn't weigh more than 3 pound, allowing for first class shipping if you like.
Edit - Yes, 25.71 via first class. And that assuming you reach 3 pounds on the weight. The board with heat shield probably doesn't weigh more than 1 pound 8 ounces (if that.) I can check the weight if you like I have a postal scale and an A600 Motherboard that isn't in a case. |

The guy is here in the UK, he could pick up a complete A600 here for under 30 USD if he looks on eBay or Amibay!

Shipping from USA would just make the motherboard too expensive as like Alex points out i can pick up the whole kit over here for around the same price.
I already have an A600HD which is knackered so just need a mobo though. Cheers for the offer anyway. |

Chances are it can be fixed if the problem can be diagnosed. Most A600 issues reported here are capacitor leaking problems (that said I've never seen it) 20 minutes with a soldering iron (in the hands of a professional) and voila.

Yeah, both of my A600 Motherboards have had to have all of their caps replaced. If the caps look faded, it's a good guess that they are leaking. At least, that is what I've been told in the past.. I hope you can find a motherboard that you need and don't have any more hassles. The A600 is a very interesting little machine.

I've found one on Amibay for a respectable price but i'll send this one off for repair if i can find someone in Uk to do it.
It's definately caps as it used to boot now and then when it felt like it but now just displays a green screen. |
