How to replace your dell laptops' motherboard

A motherboard is a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted.
The motherboard on your Dell laptop is the part that every other hardware component connects to. If the motherboard is going bad, you may notice that some components randomly stop working for short periods of time or that all the components cease to function at the same time. Replacing a defective motherboard is a time-consuming and complex process, as it requires that you manually remove every other part first.
Here in this article I will give you 7 guides on how to replace your dell laptops’ motherboard without consulting an engineer.

1.) Firstly, shut down your Dell laptop and disconnect its power cable. Flip the laptop over, and then push down on the battery release button. Pull the battery out and set it aside in a safe location.
2.) Secondly do not hesitate to remove all the screws along the sides and at the middle of the laptop case. Remove the plastic covers that hide the hard drive and RAM. Pull the hard drive and RAM modules off of their ports and set them aside. Slide out the CD or DVD drive at the left side of the case and set it aside.
3.) Thirdly, turn the laptop back over and open the top lid again. Insert a thin object, such as a screwdriver, underneath the plastic strip located between the keyboard and the LCD screen. Pop the strip off and set it aside.

4.) Fourthly, find the two screws located just above the keyboard and remove them. Unplug the cable running from the keyboard to the motherboard. Lift the keyboard up and remove it from the laptop case.
5.) Remove the screws holding the LCD screen hinges in place. Pull off the hinges, and then disconnect the cables running from the screen to the motherboard. Pull the LCD screen off carefully, and then set it aside.
6.) Take out the screws holding the touch pad to the case. Remove the touch pad and set it aside. Locate the two screws near the top of the motherboard underneath the spot where the keyboard was located. Remove the screws, and then pull the entire metal motherboard assembly out of the case.
7.) Find the large black fan and attached heat sink that are connected to the processor at the lower-right end of the motherboard assembly. Set the heat sink and fan aside, and then pull the processor off the socket on the motherboard. You can also visit our dell repair company to get more information on how to improve your dell laptop
