How to de-authorize broken computer

I changed the broken motherboard on MacBook Pro, so I haven't been able to de-authorize it on iTunes. When I signed in with the same computer I was asked to authorize it to save all apps and music. Now I have 3 instead of 2 authorized computer on my account, because that broken one has not been de-authorized. Is there a way to de-authorized it, and have authorized just 2 ones working?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

no. when you reach the limit of 5 authorized computers, you will be able to *deauthorize all* machines. click here for more information.

Thanks, I have read that but I thought... So, after reaching 5 comps, solution is to de-authorize all and then authorize one by one you actually use?
