Netvista 2284 Motherboard

So it seems that the motherboard in my IBM netvista 2284-45u is shot.
I am wondering fi anyone knows what motherboards might be compatible to
replace it with? I am having a tough time finding out.
thank you!

Have a look in to the formfacrot documentation and
take a meter stick to your board. Possible matches
are ATX, mATX and microATX.

This looks like him:
http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/si...id=MIGR-4N4N8X

System board, microATX, Socket A, with VIA KZ133 chipset

AMD Duron 700MHz 64K/200 Socket A
models: 46U 46F 21Q 40A 41V 41M 53U *45U* 45F 41U 56U 15G

Thank you for all the help!
Now Im assuming that if I'm putting in a new motherboard, the chipset
doesnt really matter? Does the socket type matter?
As far as I know microATX is basically the shape and size of the
motherboard. So will any microATX motherboard fit in my case? Sorry Im
new to this but Im wondering if all microATX's have the ports on the
back in the same location or would I need to find one that has the
ports in the right location so it would fit the back of my case?
Thank you!

Ok, I see that you can get backplates for them so that they will fit.
I guess the most important thing is finding a motherboard that my
processor fits. Which makes me wonder, is it my motherboard or
processor that is shot? Any ideas on how I can determine which is
shot? or if both are shot?
Thanks

You get the plate with the mainboard. Tha is a general ATX thing.

Firsth you should determine whether a new processor in the same
performance class actually costs enough to justify the trouble.

Do you mean the processors that the motherboard can hold arent that
good and that I should determine whether a new processor is cheap
enough to justify the trouble? I think thats what you mean, if not, I
am confused.

Also the light comes on, onthe motherboard so I am assuming it is just
the processor thats fryed.

No. I mean that the residual value of the processor and/or the board
could be so low that it is not justified trying to save either.

You cannot tell that from a light. Sorry.
