Where are you getting the new board from? Does it have the same I/O outputs?

 

[Lord orvus]

ebay and i belive so

may i just ask what is I/0 output

i think

...if you don't know what I/O stands for, then you should not be attempting this until you learn more about hardware.

 

[Lord orvus]

ok its the power i belive they do share the same I/0 output they look and are built exactly the same

sorry i had to did it out of head and yes they do share the same I/0 output

ok so iv fixed computer before i really wana take my old dell and make it into a powerful pc in the process bringing it back to life

Orvus, please do not triple post. Use the edit button.

I/O outputs mean all your external components, DVD slot, USB, VGA/HDMI, card reader, ethernet port, etc.

 

[Lord orvus]

yes they will work everything on the 1535 is the same as the 1537
ok thanks

I just checked, the 1537 and 1535 motherboards are the EXACT same motherboard between the two series, 5 is for 15in system, 7 is for the 17in system. So it's really just replacing the motherboard with the same board, standard procedure honestly.

 

[Lord orvus]

yes i know but im also putting ina new processor and adding 8gigs of ram from windows vista
to windows 7
so it will work then right
yes but the 1537 is 64 bit
the 1535 is 32 bit
and my processor is 2.0gh
but im changing it to 2.6gh dual core
