Only compatible high-rated MOSFETs are available for substitution.
It seems there could be demand for fixing board products similar to how Louise Rossman works with Crapple items.
The third-party repair sector for Apple exists due to the high cost of original hardware and the fact that official service costs consistently exceed $700, no matter the problem size. Providing a $350 fix makes sense in this context. However, you won't replace a $150 motherboard with a $350 one—mobile components remain affordable enough that a professional inspection will usually cost near a new board or more, unless it's an exceptionally advanced model.
Replacing electronic parts on a motherboard isn't straightforward. First, remove the BIOS battery and let the motherboard sit for a few days or use special tools to discharge any remaining charge in capacitors. You'll need equipment to check for residual voltage in the capacitors. Once confirmed, you can start replacing components. I've heard about X-ray machines used for inspecting motherboards—they actually show the flow of electric current. You'd likely need a dedicated workshop for these tasks. Also, regarding the eight components above the CPU socket, those are typically MOSFETs; they usually lack visible markings.
The caps on mobos have limited power and can be easily removed using a screwdriver, tweezers, or similar tools. Focus on the PSU where the larger caps are, rather than the mobo itself. A basic $10 multimeter works well. Remember, understanding your actions is more crucial than the equipment used.
