I've just got this laptop for free, and the reason is that it doesn't boot up.

We think there's a problem with the motherboard, so me and my dad began looking for the right motherboard.

It's from VIA, we know that. The laptop is an Everex LM7WZ, with a 15.4" screen.

If anyone could point us in the right direction, that would be great.

We managed to pry the thing open, so we can now get all the Product number we want.

But I noticed something on the monitor: The LCD screen is green with black splotches, and very, very fine scratches. I think the monitor might have leaked when they dropped it, so we're probably going to need to get a new one.

Remember the days when a dad would get his son a junker car, and they'd fix it up, to teach the son about mechanics? Nerd families get junker computers instead.
