Laptop motherboards are model-specific.
In other words, you cannot removemotherboard from a Toshiba laptop andstick it into a Dell laptop.
All parts inside a laptop are connectedto the system board, either directly viaa connector mounted on the systemboard or through a cable.

Which is cheaper???
System board, processor (CPU) andLCD screen are the most expensive
parts in any laptop.In some cases, when one of thesethree parts fails, its cheaper to buya brand new laptop than replacethe failed part.

AC/DC Power Adapter
known as power supply or power brickconverts the high voltage AC power
from a wall outlet into the low voltageDC power needed for your laptop.The AC/DC adapter provides power for
the laptop and charges the battery.Its very important to use the rightadapter for your laptop.

You can findthe outputvoltage and
amperage onthe adapterslabel.
As you see onthe picturebelow, myadapteroutputs 19V-3.42A.
AC/DC Power Adapter

If you are looking for a new adapter, youshould check the following:
1. Your new adapter must have exactlythe same plug (adapter tip) as theoriginal one.2. Your new adapter must output exactlythe same voltage as the original one.3. Polarity on the new adapters plugmust be the same as on the original one.
AC/DC Power Adapter

When you buy a new adapter, youcan follow this rule:
The output voltage must be thesame, the amperage could be the
same or higher than on the originalpower adapter.For example, if my laptop requires19v-3.42A adapter, I can safely use19v-3.95A adapter.

TROUBLESHOOTING LAPTOPBATTERY PROBLEMS
If the laptop stopped running on the batterypower.It works fine from the AC adapter but shutsdown as soon as you unplug the adapter.If thats the case, try reconnecting the mainbattery.
Remove it from the laptop and install back.Its possible the battery is not making goodconnection with the motherboard.
-
8/11/2019 Parts of a Laptop
26/115
Unfortunately, the only reliable way totest the main battery is replacing it withanother known good battery.If the laptop cannot detect the battery,even though its installed, try replacingthe battery with a new one.
If you still have the same issue, mostlikely there is a problem wiht the systemboard.

CMOS BATTERY
Any laptop computer has a CMOS battery alsoknown as RTC (REAL TIME CLOCK) battery.The CMOS battery connects directly to the laptop
system board and helps to retain important BIOSsettings such as system time, date, BIOSconfiguration while the laptop is turned off oreven when the main battery is removed.
The CMOS battery is rechargeable and itsgetting charged when the laptop is plugged intothe mains.CMOS batteries come in different shapes andsizes.

CMOS BATTERY RELATEDPROBLEMS
Each time you turn off the laptop it resetsdate and time back to factory defaults.When you turn the laptop back on it asks
you to set date and time.If thats the case, most likely your CMOSbattery is old and has to be replaced.
***By the way, removing the CMOSbattery on most newer laptops will notclear the BIOS password.***

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Question: Can I overclock the CPU in my laptop? Answer: No, you cannot. In most laptops the BIOSdoesnt give you this option.
Question: Can I upgrade the CPU in my laptop? Answer : Unfortunately, laptop manufacturers do notprovide this information to general public. Yes, itspossible on some laptops. Youll have to find a newCPU which fits the same socket and try it.
Question: Are CPU failures very common? Answer: No, they are not. CPUs fail rarely. If yourlaptop stopped booting, the CPU will be the lastcomponent to blame. Check the memory andmotherboard first.

COOLING FAN
A CPU cooling fan is a dedicated fan which coolsdown the heatsink and eventually the CPU(Processor).Usually the CPU cooling fan comes as a part of theheatsink assembly a metal part drawing heat fromthe CPU chip.In addition to the CPU cooling fan, some laptopshave a dedicated GPU (graphics processing unit) fanwhich cools down the GPU chip.The CPU and GPU cooling fans connect directly to themotherboard via a cable running from the fan. WhenCPU and GPU chips get hotter, the cooling fan spins
faster.

LAPTOP MEMORY
A laptop memory also know as RAM (Random-access memory) is a temporary data storage.Its a volatile type of memory. When you turn off
the laptop, all the information stored in a RAMmodule is lost.More memory installed into your laptop gives
you a better (faster) performance.
You can test laptop memory with a freediagnostic tool called Memtest86+ .
A type of memory used in laptop computerscalled SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-lineMemory Module).

Faster DDR2 memory modules are backwardcompatible with slower DDR2 memorymodules.
For example, if your laptop requires a PC2-4200 memory module you can safely use aPC2-5300 module but it will run at PC2-4200speed.DDR2 memory modules are not backwardcompatible with DDR modules. The notch onDDR2 is located in a different position from
DDR.

HARD DRIVE
SATA hard drives has faster datatransfer rate then IDE drivers.
SATA 150MB/s and IDE 100/133MB/s.Laptop hard drives spin at differentspeeds and most common are4200RPM, 5400RPM, 7200RPM.

The RPM number indicates how fast the harddrive platters spin.Hard drives with high RPM number are
quicker than hard drives with low RPMnumber because they can access data faster.SATA connectors on a laptop hard drive aresimilar to SATA connectors on a desktop harddrive.
You can connect a SATA laptop hard drive toa desktop computer using same SATA cables.

HARD DRIVE UPGRADE
A hard drive is the slowest part in any laptop.If you would like to speed up your laptop,replace your low RPM drive with a faster one.
Fast RPM drives are backward compatiblewith low RPM drives.If you would like to install a larger hard
drive, take a look at the users manual andlaptop specifications.Make sure your laptop supports larger drives.
