    Gday David

    My 2 cents of personal preference (depending on the specs/cost) would generally be go for a new unit.
    If it's the m/b you should be able to copy data from the hdd.
    As explained to me many decades ago, fixing electronics etc is like patching a rusty bucket.
    Patch one hole, sure enough another will appear.
    One never knows all the circumstances, but that's my 2c in general.
    Good luck

    I doubt you could even get a new motherboard for an old laptop that cost less than a complete new one. There are ways to recover stuff off the old hard drive if it still works and you haven't got backup copies.

    My old HP went the same way, I removed the HDD and put it into a $5 case so I was able to transfer all my old files onto the new laptop and had a spare portable disc drive.
