egasso   10 #1 Posted December 19, 2016 Hello guys, I need help:  I'm quite techy guy, have repaired a lot of computers but now stumbled on something I cant fix. I wanted to replace my own laptops motherboard as it had failed GPU, ordered brand new motherboard from manufacturer. Now I found out it needs battery port and m-sata ports soldered on (new or moved from old motherboard.  Can anyone in sheffield do that?

Ghozer   112 #2 Posted December 19, 2016 Are you sure it's the correct board? - and working?  Usually when you buy a laptop motherboard, it comes with all fittings and connectors already on the board, just no CPU/RAM or heatsink/fan... but all the M.2, mSATA, USB/Audio ports are usually there...  SATA ports are a pain in the ***, and the battery connectors are often double-sided (on the board) so can never replace them... (mSATA usually connects via mini PCI-e, if you don't have that, then tough.... basically)  I would contact where you purchased from and return it as incomplete imho...  Unless, it's the same board, same range, but a couple of models down, that didn't have SATA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
