Dell :: Replacing The Motherboard Inspiron 1525
Apr 15, 2009
I have been experiencing overheating problems on my Dell Inspiron 1525.
So after dealing with the support@Dell , they are sending down a technician to replace the motherboard and the heatsink
Now, will I need to reinstall my OS ( Windows XP ) after the replacement of motherboard? Will there be driver incompatibility issues?
Or can I continue using the system like before , after the replacement without having to worry about the above? ....

I am reporting with the same issue where my motherboard was replaced for 7 beep code and still the issue didn't get resolved. Issue Reoccurred again--again i am getting 7 beep codes. When I checked the motherboard part no and it is the same motherboard which have replaced for this issue. As I informed earlier that the motherboard which was installed for the INSPIRON M5010 have bump cracks around the solder on AMD chip resulting in no post with 7 beep code. The onsite tech replaced the motherboard and it was working fine for 2 weeks and again I am getting the 7 beep code. I am dell customer for past one decade and I owned so many Inspiron and xps laptop but this laptop is giving me trouble. If I get HDD error or any other part failure I would say yes it is due to usage and I would pay for the parts but if I get issue due to manufacture defects than dell should find solution to fix it. How come I am getting same issue even after part replacement within 2 weeks? I would request you to take required action to come out with solution. I am ok with refurbished motherboard but it should not be the same Class or type of part as it is resulting into same 7 beep code. There are 2 types of motherboard in M501R---AMD(tm) RS880M/SB820. And I got my laptop replaced with the same part RS880M which has known issue. My computer <edited for TOU violation> . I believe dell should fix this issue for me as it is known issue with these models.

My E6500 is having the motherboard replaced later today. Is there anything I should be aware of or that I should check out once it's done?

I have onsite....When they sent the Technician to replace the Motherboard before, it took him less than an hour.
How long do you think it will take to replace the Motherboard, Heatsink/GPU/Fan..on my 1530? They are also bringing me a new AC.

I'm wondering if you guys can help me find a few resources to purchase/install a new motherboard on my Vostro 1400. One day out of the blue, the thing stopped charging.
I had the charger replaced, as the charger itself was still under warranty, but the system has been out of warranty since last August, which makes getting help from Dell a ver trying experience.
I was given the choice of either extending my warranty for $257 for 1 year, $317 for 2 years (yeah right!), or $358 for a one off repai

I'm going to be replacing the motherboard on my i9300 either tomorrow or the day after. I am then going to reinstall Windows so I have a healthy machine unhindered by impossible-to-remove Ad-Ware and low HD space. I'm wondering some things:
1) Is it better to re-install Windows first before replacing the motherboard?
2) Do I have to worry about BIOS/Driver compatibiilty problems after I replace to the new motherboard?
3) Can you please tell me of other factors that I should be aware of once I boot up my newly motherboarded' computer and how to deal with them?
4) How are you feeling today? I hope you're feeling fantastic!
I have the Dell Windows Re-installation disc and a good amount of personal data backed up in an external HD, I'm hoping that's all i need to accomplish bringing my computer up to snuff.
if anyone asks why I need a new motherboard, it's a faulty DC jack and the audio pins in the side are broken

A service case resulted in the motherboard being replaced in my T530 running Windows7 Pro. I specified that the disk not be reimaged. Upon return, when I attempted to boot the system, I ended in Startup Repair, which tried to automatically fix the problem and failed to do so. The result report indicated that all hardware tests passed without error and that the one cause was likely "Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem.".
One tech at Lenovo Support said that a new motherboard requires a reimaging of hd0 and offered ways to reimage back to factory defaults. Another tech suggested I should be able to restore the disk by reimaging with an image I made prior to sending the T530 to the service depot.
My disk image, made with Terabyte's Image for Windows, was of the entire hard drive. I reimaged the drive using a bootable Terabyte 'Image for DOS' with no errors. I have successfully used this procedure in the past to reimage a WinXP system. When I attempt to boot the reimaged T530, I get the same failure as described in the first paragraph above.
I suspect that the failure of the reimaged system might be a Microsoft Windows mechanism to prevent pirating of Windows, but I would have expected the system to boot and then tell me that my copy of Windows was not genuine.
Surely there must be a way to replace a motherboard without reimaging back to a factory image.

One of my mates has a dead M1330. I told him about the "oven" trick but his wife might hurt the both of us. It is however possible to replace the motherboard with the integrated X3100 motherboard correct?

My computer has the Intel Pentium T2080 processor. When I talked to Dell, they said that it couldn't be replaced but I noticed that it comes out of its standard PGA478 slot easily.
I would hate to spend the money for a new processor without knowing that it will work, so my question is will a core 2 work? If not, would a Pentium from the T2000 series such as the T2130 (the T2080's closest relative) work?

I need some advice on replacing the hard drive for my Dell Inspiron 6000.
I'm not quite sure on how to find a hard drive that has the right interface.
Here is the hard drive model that was inside: http://www.superwarehouse.com/Toshib...2194/ps/394084
Is this replacement on the Dell website the correct hard drive for my laptop?

Recently replaced the CMOS battery ourselves after getting the 5 beeps. Put everything back together but a couple of screws were loose and came out. Regardless the computer booted up fine and worked for a week. Yesterday it would not power on, at all. Unscrewed everything, opened it up, found some loose connections and tightened up, then replaced missing screws, seemed that they were tight and not spinning in place. Computer powered on fine. Next day, computer powers on again. Then, after a brief power down, it won't come on. AGAIN. Opened everything back up and saw the hard drive was loose so tightened that up via external screw. Put back together and made sure all connections were tight and re-screwed. Still will not power on.

During reassembling my Inspiron 9300 (to upgrade the cpu) I did something wrong and now the laptop refuses to turn on. Instead of normal booting when I get the "power on" pressed the power led starts blinking frequently (2.5 blinks a second). Nothing more happens (fans, hard dirive, etc. don't start).
I tried turing it on with adapter, with battery or with both - the same result. I tried reassembling it again with the previous CPU - the same result. I tried swapping memory modules but it didn't help either.

My original Dell motherboard recently got fried (smoke, zap noise etc). I ordered a new one from eBay as Dell Canada doesn't sell them. The new one arrived today and I put it all back together.
When trying to power up, the green lights turn on for a couple seconds then goes off and nothing happens. The fan doesn't even power up.
Could it be something I did wrong (I've triple checked everything!), a bad replacement motherboard, or perhaps something else that got fried when the original one died.

My cousin has an Inspiron 1525 laptop which has had an issue of booting. Randomly one day she received the following message, "Internal hard drive not found. Reseat hard drive". It also said from below "Boot to CD by pressing any key" that the "BOOTMGR is not found".
I received the laptop in this state. I booted from the CD (Windows install disc) and was able to reinstall Vista. I then updated all the drivers and had everything working like a charm. I thought I had hit jackpot with an easy reformat. After about 4 hours of having it running perfectly, as I was installing Windows updates, I received the "Internal hard drive not found. Reseat hard drive" message. Now I cannot boot into Windows and booting from the CD no longer works.
Here are some of the specs:
T2390 Dual Core 1.86Ghz
2GB RAM
160GB SATA HDD
Is the hard drive dying? Is it the SATA controller? The motherboard? Anyone have any ideas or past experiences?

The mute touch sensitive button on mine keeps lighting up blue and mutes my sound on it's own often.. I think I could possibly fix it myself as Dell already sent me a replacement laptop which had a scratch on the screen that bugs me even more than the media button problem...

I have ran the PSA (?) and received an error code of 2000-0142. Does anyone know if this is something I can repair? I would be very grateful for any help.
She really needs this computer for school and funds are super tight around here (with the economy the way it is)
I also ran the "express test" and received this information:

I'm having a serious problem with my laptop right now and I'm fearing the worst: a bad motherboard, a problem which I have found to be pretty common with 1525 users through Google/forum searches.
Hopefully someone out there can relate and has a remedy that will save me money/time/hassles with my laptop, which by the way has been out of warranty for about 6 months.
I purchased the 1525 last April (2008) direct from Dell. Here are the vital specs: Inspiron 1525, Intel Core 2 Duo T5550, 1.83GHz, 667Mhz, 2ML2 Cache. I've never really had any problem with it until yesterday morning. I woke up and pressed the power button after allowing the system to hibernate the night before. The power LED lights up in the bottom left and the touch-sensitive media buttons flash from side-to-side like normal
