My laptop is broken entirely

I have liquid damage on my optimus series 15.6 i7 motherboard I can't find the dead short anywhere. Where can I buy another motherboard from ?

You need to arrange an RMA through your PCS account.

I spoke to them and they quoted me 800 just to supply one.

That's about right. Remember, on a laptop, the GPU and CPU are both soldered on, therefor a part of the motherboard.

Your only other option is to buy second hand, but it's very risky indeed. Be aware as well, it needs to be the same configuration as you currently have otherwise you need a BIOS flash to accommodate the different GPU otherwise it won't boot.

Does anyone know where or what the keyboard is called in my Optimus Series: 15.6"? Dropped something on it and damaged a few keys.

As previously, you need to RMA with PCS. Is there something stopping you doing so? It sounds like this machine is pretty dead imho unless you get it properly fixed.
