Well my two year old dell's Motherboard went bad the other day and it is no longer under warranty so it's buy a new laptop or try and replace the motherboard. Now I replaced the hard drive before on a Laptop that was 6 years old that my son uses now had to buy new Windows system and we ran into the problem that  the WiFi would not work it still does not work but he can use the cable to hook up to the internet.

Looking for any advice should I replace or just buy the new laptop? Thanks


Edited I replaced the Hard drive never a motherboard! So guess I'm looking at what all I would need to get it done and how hard is it?

It may be easy, may be extremely hard.

 

First, find documentation on beep codes, see what three beeps means.

That being said, it's amazing how often just disassembling a laptop and reseating memory, flat cables, and everything else will fix these kinds of problems.

the only thing you can do is remove ONE device at a time, starting with memory, then reboot till it works.
you cant replace the MB unless you get lucky.

thats what i would do. a RAM card COULD be bad.
