OT: Vista users and wannabe's
Alot of times the form factor of the dell laptop boards are the same
from one generation to the next. You may be able to get a replacement
board for your machine "one step up" if you send me the model number
of your laptop I can do the research for you.
I was a Dell warranty tech for three years at Bangor Sub Base. All I
did was repair Dell laptops.
