Re: How easy is it to replace a motherboard in a notebook?
[ QUOTE ]
This was an $1800 laptop so $450 is closer to 30%, which is why I would consider it. [/ QUOTE ] FYP, fwiw. Seems they are going for $500ish used on ebay. So it might be worth it to take a shot, just make sure you keep track of which microscrews went where. I most definately wouldn't spend $450 to have it professionaly serviced when you could obtain a fully functional used duplicate for the same price. |

Re: How easy is it to replace a motherboard in a notebook?
WHOA STOP
replacing a laptop mobo is not easy at all that stu guy above is either exagerating a genious or extremely lucky i have built 3 desktop computers from scratch now and i beleive desktops are very easy my cousin asked if i could build him a laptop, i did a little research adn found only a few laptop kits but not even a place i could buy a vid card...i asked a few people and was quickly told not to try it if you have never built a computer before i would not recomend trying this and if you are still going to please note: you cant just buy any laptop motherboard, your cpu socket type has to match along with the graphics card slot and the ram type....and im guessing there are demensions to make it sit right in the case too....(u probably already knew that and were just going to buy the exact same one you had, if so i appologize) i would also verify the mobo is the problem before i went through with this(find a friend with a laptop and try their parts) |
