I need to replace the motherboard in a GT4016. The current one is KTBC51GLF but I see there is also a KTBC51G available. Are they interchangeable?
Most PC equipment is interchangeable. Seems like a there are chipset variations in the boards as well as a few spec variations. Most of the I/O configurations seems the same, so everything should hook up OK. The processor socket and memory support is also the same. I would expect you should have no problem with this as a replacement.

How did you determine that the MB was dead? Do you know how to use a post card and do you have one? How old is your computer and is it worth it to replace the MB? It is usually fairly easy to find a replacement MB on Ebay. Although, today desktops are so inexpensive that you may want to try that route. If you do replace the MB make sure that your power supply is adequate. We build systems every day and we never use less than 450W. If you do decide to replace the MB email me if you run into any problems and I'll see if I can assist you.

if the unit has lights and fans running when you try to start it up the the mobo does need to be replaced. if there is no activity the the power supply has to be changed out. always get two opinions when dealing with pc repair shops to make sure your not getting scammed

When I push the power button the activity light and fan come on momentarily then stop. The power supply does work in another computer. That't why I believe it is the MB.
