How To Replace And Change A Laptop Motherboard – How To Repair Laptop Motherboards
Even if it is your first time ever replacing a laptop motherboard , it is still a fairly simple task. As with any piece of electrical equipment the very first step that should be taken is to consult the instruction manual throughout the entire process, and also, be sure that the laptop power cable is disconnected and the battery is removed. Another important precaution, besides making sure that the laptop is closed, is to discharge any static electricity that you have accumulated by touching a grounded metal surface.
Now that you can proceed with the motherboard replacement, remove the screws that hold the optical drive and hard drive in place, and set them aside in a safe place. Through the detailed instructions inside the manual, take off the memory access cover that is located on the motherboard. Remove the memory chips with the release clips then disconnect the antenna from the wireless card (if you have wireless connectivity). If a wireless card is present release the clips and take that out as well.
One of the most important steps that must not be forgotten is the removal of the processor. You do not get one with the new motherboard and it is vital that it is placed onto the new motherboard before installation. Now that the deconstruction process is finished, using the proper sized screwdriver, remove the screws that hold motherboard down from the bottom of the laptop. Keep all the tiny screws in a secure spot and mind the LCD screen attachments for necessary removal if the instruction manual demands so.
