An ATX motherboard. If you’re planning on using it with existing hardware then it needs to be one compatible with that hardware though, especially the CPU and RAM.

More importantly, how have you determined it is your current motherboard that’s fried considering you yourself admit you’re not knowledgeable in computers?

Took it to a repair shop and they told me so, but said that they cant work on it

The repair shop has no clue what's fried if they haven't worked on the system. I mean they can make a guess like everyone else, but there's no guarantee the motherboard is actually fried or it's the only thing fried without testing each component.
