The only thing I can recommend is to take it out and try to identify it by FCC ID# or MOBO make and/or ID#, if you can't get Iridium to tell you. Some links to help........

Ebay, well I googled laptop motherboards http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Laptop+motherboards tons of places without knowing the brand of the laptop.

 

Does this mean it's under warranty?
Some manufacturer's will let you ugrade if replacement is required.

 

Well if the link on the bootom of your post is the site then here is the support page for mobile computers http://www.mobile-support.net/index.html or follow the link http://www.iridium-uk.com/

 

the 3 Year warranty was an option not what i had. i only had 1 year. Laptop was replace through insurance due to freak weather conditions which caused power surge through phone line. Iridium said a new mother board would be £300 but i just wondered if i could get one on the net, its just i dont know what to get. I have bought m/b for desktop but not laptops. I have looked at the M/B and cant find any reference anywhere as to what it is or what to replace it with. Dont get me wrong i do have my new laptop which is great but i just want to tinker with the old if i can. I presume they all come different size and shape. The processor on the board was only a 1ghz so need to think about that somewhere along the line for the new M/B. The 2ghz mentioned above is in the spec of my new lap top. Same model just a newer version.
Sorry if this post seem garbled I only had 4hrs sleep last night and am about dead on my feet now.

There should be some numbers on that board somewhere, or a sticker. May have to use a magnifying glass. If nothing else, chipset make and numbers might help.

I'm guessing it's one of the 520 models by the specs, and Iridiums website doesn't share much info, does it!?

 

ok I am looking at the M/B as i type as this is what i can see on any of what I think are chips.

SiS 630st sis'00 PLA5413J0148DA (on a chip)

011148A102 M38867M8A Phoenix 92/99 (on a chip)

Winbond W83626F144AB211484802SA (on a chip)

SMSC FDC37N3869 MD A0112-A928 8G104760 (on a chip)

M-TEK H16101MH 0149 (on a chip)

inside software corp 1998/2001 bios -ma CA2000-032 2193 (on a sticker)

NC23T02A02661
150-01004869
P/N:76-32200-003 (on a small board (all three))

0Cel17F (on a sticker)

71-22T00-Do3 (on main board larger type than all rest)

all other chips have too small a writing on them.
do any of the above make any sence.

Hi All
Is there anywhere else I can look to find out the brand of the motherboard
Thankx

Gave the site you entioned a look, even rang them up to enquire all I got from them was that I need to dend the board to them so that they can decide if its repairable or replaceable. I already know that it cant be fixed as it has already been to Iridium but as to replacing i have now been quoted £300 and £400 pounds. Dont you think this is a bit steep for a M/B. You can buy desk top boards for £30 thats ten time less??????????????.
Gonna try ebay i think will let you know how i get on.

Ok Ok Ok
I get it.
Couldn't find anything on Ebay. So will keep the old Laptop for spare parts. I know when to give up (just dont like it). Will get on with the building of my friends desk top.
Thanks Pete
