Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop motherboard-
I've had quite a bit of trouble with this baord, but it works intermittently, and i'm determined to fix the **** thing. I found 2 blown components on the motherboard, so i bought another bad dell inspiron 4150 board, and moved the componets over and resoldered them. Now, it once again works intermittently. However, I found that if i bend the board, it will work every time, and if i leave it flat, it's intermittent. I've had this problem before and finally found it was a few cracked solder joints, but i'm not sure if it could be the same thing here. What should I look for?
Thanks
