How do you replace the mother board in a computer?

Answer 1

Basically you have to strip down the motherboard in the tower by removing the modem, video card, etc. You will need to swap the processor and the heat sink and anything else the new mother board does not come with. you will need to disconect all of the wires that are attached to the motherboard and then remove the screws, which will probably be upwards of 15. Once removed everything goes back together just as it was removed.

Answer 2

Get a motherbaord of exactly the same model.

If you cant do that, a motherboard with the same chipset will almost certainly work, but as the extra components can vary from model to model and manufacturer to manufacturer, you may have to install some drivers for different parts (typically the sound card and network card)

Answer 3

First, standoffs are screwed into the case to hold the motherboard out from the case wall. Then, the motherboard is places on top of the standoffs and secured with screws. Then, everything else is connected to the motherboard.

Answer 4

Yes. But be wary of compatibility issues like the cpu, memory, power supply and connectors to the drive.

Answer 5

Google the model specific tear-down guide. The casing and keyboard will come off, then the motherboard. Not terribly difficult, 30 or so screws, just keep track of where they go.
