Hi there,
My brother got a eMachines T1862 but altho it seems he had droped it. so there was a part broken from the motherboard so im going to look for a new motherboard and just put that in there.

Now this is the Computer how it was

Now im useing the same CPU and stuff but i seen a motherboard on the website called http://www.newegg.com/ and i thought it was the one for this to go inside of the computer..

REFURBISHED: ECS PT800CE-A Socket 478 VIA PT800 ATX Intel Motherboard - OEM

http://www.ecsusa.com/products/pt800ce-a.html

Is this the motherboard that i can use with the Intel® Celeron® Processor 1.80 GHz ?

And Will This MotherBoard Fit Inside the caseing on the
eMachines T1862?

(and i also found a Intel P4 CPU that was 2.8Ghz. Can that also be on the motherboard?)

Im not sure exactly what that is under the Socket the was a metal heatsink i think siting there...um how can i say this it had 2 Hooks or Pins that was suppose to hold it down into place...the other pin is broken off...and im not sure if the motherboard had a AGP slot but if it did its broken off as you can see...

The reason why is because the computer just shuts off.....the Computer was working, it was just shuting off and i thought it was because of that being off the motherboard those 2 things....
