don't look online for it. Instead search for local hardware repair man..But pls make sure of his charges before giving him to repair.. If charges are high you can look for second hand MB(if available.) in local market.

But IMO better repair instead for going for second hand MB as You MB has jut one problem but one you buy .. ? no one knows how many..maybe later it will cost you more.. second hand electronics products are very risky in nature.

^^ you mean horizontally .. right? I have not seen that type of mb's and picture is very low res and blurry so don't know exactly what is broken. But as you say it can't hold heat sink so best you can say is heat sink holder.. Best way to get is if some one has old scratch(un-repairable old) motherboard then it can be replaced from that MB....If you can find that then I guess you can do it your self.. because IMO nothing soldering or repairing thing is required .

this is your MB
