Condolences on the equipment ...! When I hear thunder in the
distance, eveerything gets unplugged (too poor to replace anything).
Not sure how the conversion goes, but at Wegner
Media (http://www.wegenermedia.com), a 32GB drive sells for US $99; if my
math is correct, that would be about R$290 for you.
They also have batteries, but the price you have is less than the
price available from Wegener Media.
Not sure where to find another motherboard; maybe try
<http://www.dealmac.com>?
Good luck ....
