W520 replacing motherboard compatibility

I have a W520 with an i7 2760QM Quadro 1000 m and the 4 RAM slots, a couple of weeks, he died on me. He took for an assessment of the repair - I was told that the motherboard was dead and that the repair costs would be, for lack of a better word, obscene. Even the guy who ran the diagnosis had never seen a quote anywhere close to coming as high as what it finds for mine. I could buy at least four W520s refurbished for the price of this mobo.

So I thought I could just grab a mobo online and do a DIY repair, except for the specific part, I've been quoted on (RUF 04W2036) seems to be almost impossible to find. However there seems to be a lot of mobos W520 circulate with various replaceable units on site (04W2024, 04W2035, 04W2040, etc etc etc) that AFAICT look identical. I took a quick look around forums and saw nothing about this specific mobo serial, so I wonder if all or some or only the 04W2036 specific FRU for my specific configuration of the W520 could be used to make a repair. What is the difference between all of these varieties of mobos? The only thing I can think of that would separate this specific mobo seriously would be to have 4 RAM slots instead of the typical 2, but one of them would be consistent I would be more than willing to sacrifice some locations if it meant avoiding a repair job that costs more than the laptop brand new three years ago.

Nice day.

If you don't already have it, you can download your Manual material:

http://download.Lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/PC/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t520_t520i_w520_hmm_en_0A60078_08.PDF

135-137 pages show a number of maps of W520 system, with some indicators of differences, which appear to be permutations of: nVidia Quadro 1000 M and 2000 M, + / AMT, + / TPM and + / RAID.

FRU P/N 04W2036 is specified as: "Nvidia Quadro 1000 M, non - AMT, TPM, no RAID adapter.

For reference:

04W2040 only differs by RAID.

04W2035 differs by the Quadro 2000 M, AMT and RAID, but no TPM module.

04W2024 is indicated on page 134, but he is listed as being for the T520.

Finally, using 04W2036 on the site of maintenance parts:

http://www-304.IBM.com/shop/Americas/webapp/WCS/stores/servlet/default/PromotionDisplay?promoName=PA...

shows the part as in stock. You can take a look and compare the price for what you have been quoted.

Does that help?

Kind regards.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8-1114 Deskto: replacement motherboard on HP desktop PC

    Given there are too many problems with the motherboard of Pegatron IPISB-CU (Carmel2) on a HP PC that is 4 years old as my blu - ray player and dvd player not working not both at the same time, the video card fan died won't spend countless hours searching the same replacement of a video card that will not play new games. Recent maps have new bios UEFI which are not compatible with the map of Pegatron that I and most of the companies do not have BIOS custom to make the card work with the motherboard. I thought about replacing the motherboard and try to push it another 2 years. However I have a few questions about this process.

    First, WILL the Intel Intel Core i5 2400 processor currently on the HP PC will work with another different Board or is LOCKED to the current configuration of the motherboard and will not work with any replacement motherboard? How about the memory sticks? I know that Intel makes their products compatible with their own products and the upgrade/replacement by other non approved parts HP will not work with their products.

    How will be my Windows 7 installation is affected by the replacement of motherboar? I have to do custom / clean install of Windows 7, or I'll still be able to use the Suite of recovery in the PC to re - install Windows 7?

    I'm not planning to upgrade the power supply on the PC because I'm shopping for a low-power video (not the means.) map And I also know that if I update the motherboard, I know that I lose the wireless/Bluetooth card and the card reader because it has a secondary power supply that I did not see in any other configuration of the motherboard.

    Or simply scrap system and start from scratch. I can't believe my $900 luck down the drain in less than 4 years.

    Upon reflection, while I do not normally give replacement Advisor, these two motherboard will work with the CPU and the memory that is currently in your PC

    Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1

    ASUS P8H67-M LX

    Being that they are not current models, so that he may be uneven buy locations.  I will leave that option open.  These form factors (case plug Assembly) is not compatible with the present case.   Check the mounting options in the current case vs buying a new case.

    Other issues, keep me posted.

  • Replacement motherboard for HP A6030N?

    Hi all

    I am using A6030N desktop for five years, had to let it stay on for almost two years.

    But this desktop computer little worked fantastically til last week.

    Its motherboard might have been fried, but I'm not sure. Here are the symptoms.

    (1) whenever the power cord is connected, everything is turned on even if I did not press the power switch.

    Swapping 2) power supply card and remove switch power connector has not helped. Whatever I do, he repeated #1.

    I was looking for a replacement motherboard, Nettle3-GL8E(ECS MCP61PM-HM), but the lowest price was $ 60, quite expensive for the old model.

    I'm not good in material stuffs, I have no idea what to do. Yes, is there an alternative AM2 Motherboard recommendable for this office? Or is it safe to use any motherboard AM2 running? There will not be any problem of BIOS?

    Please let me know

    Thank you!

    The other disadvantage is that the background shield of basket I/O (where the audio and other ports are) will not match. This means that the desktop computer PC will always be open to the back of the motherboard for dust to enter.  It is not a big problem if you want to combine a system.

    Any Micro-ATX: 24,4 cm (9.6 inches) motherboard x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) will adapt and sealants should correspond to those in the case. Make sure that the power supply in the original system has all the required connectors for the new mobo...

    HafizulHazmiey,

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p6645d. Based on these specifications, your computer was presented for sale or 06-Sep-2010 in some countries / regions in the Asia-Pacific market. When your computer was service by HP or an authorized service center, the replacement motherboard should have been tattooed with etc. series, model of your computer. Without that information, software support HP and HP Recovery may have problems to do their job. Please contact the HP support in your area. IF you can not get a positive result, please PM (private message) me and I'll try to help your with the question.

  • Replacing motherboard NE56R27U gateway is not well...

    My son NE56R27U had a motherboard failure (a short circuit somewhere on the Board, could not isolate), so I bought a new gateway/Acer.  Well, the jury arrived and I replaced it in the laptop, and now it does not recognize the hard drive.  Before start asking you, I have two sons, and each has the same laptop, so I was able to determine that the HARD disk is perfectly fine - I can put it in another laptop and it works perfectly.

    I can also use the recovery disc, it does not recognize it.

    When the computer starts, the home screen now says 'Acer' instead of 'Gateway'... then I fear that it may be BIOS problems...

    I looked in the BIOS (and compared to the work laptop computer) and found that, while the laptop work said it is an entry door and carries the serial number, the laptop with the new Board of Directors said it is an Acer and has a fake serial number (123456789) in the BIOS.  I think that this could be part of the problem.  If I remember well, the recovery disk is 'good' for the specific laptop, and I guess he uses the serial number to check the disc "belongs" to this computer.

    So, this is likely problem, and how to update these data?  I can pull the latest updates to the BIOS on the site of the bridge, but they are packaged to run Windows.

    I would appreciate any ideas...

    Gail

    Replacement motherboard resolved the problem.  The computer started immediately with the logo of the gateway, the HARD drive was recognized, Windows starts.  In addition, the serial number that is now on the computer appears in the BIOS.  Then... send this bad mutha... back on board...

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9180t - replacement motherboard

    So some time, HP has done a service to replace motherboards on defective Elite systems.  There was even a Web site configuration to help with it (www.hpelitedesktopsettlement.com).

    Unfortunately, the site is no longer active and all links to HP's internal documentation are not valid as well.

    One of my clients has long lived with the random blue screens, and we're finally going through the review process it.

    Who should I contact to get this replaced motherboard?

    Please see the information available on the HP Pavilion Elite Desktop Class Action Lawsuit settlement on the LWSEP for the HP Pavilion Elite e9150t, e9180f, e9180t, m9600t, m9650f, e9280f, e9280t and computers e9290f. "If the court approves the proposed settlement, HP will post on its website a notice on repair program with instructions on how to make eligible arrangements to receive a repair. You will have 90 days after this notice was posted to contact HP for repair repair. "It seems that HP has posted the LWSEP notice on or around 12/01/2011 and that's why you got until about 01/03/2012 to take advantage of the LWSEP.

    Previously, I suggested that people "contact HP customer support directly and see if they will replace the Commission under this program has expired." Please post back with your results. If you are not successful, I can try to contact HP on your part.

    Yes; unless you contact the computer manufacturer and / or do it "as defined by the manufacturer's warranty."

    It's the part of this Microsoft Information which concerns you, as you say now that you have an OEM license:

    "If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for other reasons that a defect, then a new computer has been created. Software operating system Microsoft OEM cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the new operating system software license is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you need not acquire a new operating system for PC license as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make and model or equivalent/replacement by the manufacturer, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty. »

    We have no access to the terms of the warranty of the manufacturer of your computer. It's something you'll have to discuss with them.

    Normally, unless there is a common to many users, provided in OEM manufacturing defect cards mothers, you can't replace OEM provided motherboards.

    See you soon.
