Need a new motherboard, there are like 600 different models.

Broads.ie · 2011-12-07 20:45:44

So I need a new motherboard for my Dell 1735. There are a load of 1735 motherboards for sale on ebay, but they all have different model numbers. Is this important? Wouldn't any Dell 1735 motherboard fit into a Dell 1735 case and work without a problem? Or do I have to get a motherboard that is the exact same serial number…

Once it uses the same socket you should be alrite, Dell do have funny proprietry connectors so you have to be careful with that. I think Dell use BTX mobos so if thats the case the ones on Ebay should be ok,

Edit: ignore this advise, just seen you are using a laptop, laptop motherbards are usually designed much differently
