Looking for a replacement motherboard part

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement motherboard for a 2009 MacBook Pro. I don't remember the ghz I believe it's the lowest available 2.2? Mine was fried after a water incident.

Check that number again, I'm not getting the right machine.

The last three figures of my serial number is 089 for the iMac 5.1, Version 10.4.7, Processor 2Ghz

That is not the correct number either. Are you talking about a 2006 iMac or a 2009 MacBook Pro. Here's the poop on the 5.1 machine you listed:

Apple iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 17-Inch Specs

Identifiers: Late 2006 - MA590LL - iMac5,1 - A1208 - 2114

The logic board is Apple part # 661-5230 for the 2.26 GHz

661-5231 for the 2.53 GHz board. They are interchangeable.
