You are almost always better off with factory authorized repair centers when dealing with notebooks, but they can also be the costliest. If you had taken your notebook to Acer, you probably would have paid $500 for a motherboard replacement. They would have used new *overpriced* parts, the guy you took yours to found you a used board that happened to fit, although not an exact replacement.

As I said, you got what you paid for, but the guy should have at least told you up front what was going to happen.
