<div style="direction: ltr;">Hi Ana,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Same happened to us a couple years ago - I bought an identical motherboard (not through Gatan) and replaced it myself. It’s been working fine since. I just had to re-activate our windows license. Make sure you take pictures of all
add-on components and cable connections and restore them the same way.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">You can contact me directly for details.</div>

Dear Ana-Andreea,<br>
<br>
Colfax sells computers made with standard PC parts. They don't make<br>
their own motherboards. The motherboard manufacturer and model should<br>
be printed on it somewhere. You could likely buy that motherboard on<br>
your own. It's likely made by Supermicro, Gigabyte, or Asus.<br>
<br>
Or, there is probably a serial number on the back of your PC which<br>
begins with "CX". Send that number to sales@colfax-intl.com and ask<br>
if they can sell a replacement motherboard directly to you. It might<br>
be complicated since you're in France.<br>
<br>
Matt<br>
