Is there more than 1 Type of Logic Board I can Use?

Hello, I have a 17" PowerBook G4 that I'm just trying to fix.

I ordered a A1013 17" 820-1502-A LogicBoard for it that worked perfectly fine, but one of the Chips on it didn't work with the AirPort Card. Which is probably why it was only $85.

So my question is, is there more than 1 Type of Logic Board? Cause I know for a fact, that the original Logic Board wasn't a 820-1502, but I don't know what type it was.

So maybe someone could tell me a different type of Logic Board to install?

Thanks

Update

Well that really didn't help. Let me give some more info.

This is the PowerBook I have:

On my PowerBook G4, my battery says A1039, but my Logic Board does say 820-1502-A.

There are six (6) different boards. Perhaps directly contacting iFixit Customer Service can get you closer to what was OEM. This is the volunteer DIY help forum.
