So here is my question, i bought a laptop on ebay (not a bad deal, and not a bad laptop) its a privatly made one called L1V, has been great but i would like to upgrade a few things on it.
I need to know if i can upgrade the motherboard in it, and if i can how do i know it will fit? Im not at all scared to open it up and disasemble it, just want to know where to shop and buy the actual motherboard. The reason i want to do this is because i want to keep the body, screen and all that and just make it a powerhouse for gaming and personal use. I thought about upgrading the processor, ram, HDD, and video card, but im sure there are motherboard compat issues. so i figgured ill just do it all. unless someone out there can tell me this is a bad idea and i can replace all parts without changing the mobo.
Here are a list of whats inside already:
CPU: 2.27 gigahertz Intel Core i3 M 350 (not 2nd Gen)
Mobo: BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 07R40020 12/03/2010 / Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
Vid Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M [Display adapter]
RAM: Slot 'DIMM0' has 2048 MB (serial number 0BF30C6E) / Slot 'DIMM2' has 2048 MB (serial number 9CF80C6D)
Question - It read on the website i did a test to see whats inside, and registers a slot 3 / 4 , is this true? i only see 2 slots!
HDD: TOSHIBA MK3265GSX [Hard drive] (320.07 GB) -- drive 0, s/n X04LBCBDB
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
