I'm guessing, but it is a guess, that the motherboard is the same.

keyboard is (which I always thought was a waste on the I9300 --

Anyone worked on both?

Dell Service manuals are pretty good. Perhaps try comparing pictures.

Quick and dirty: you can try looking at the ports on the back. If they
don't line up, they're not compatible. Of course if they DO line up,
that doesn't mean that they are swappable.


I found some pictures of the motherboards:

Inspiron 9300 (all hacked to hell, ignore all the extra wires)

Good suggestion, bad answer.

No way. Forgot the I9300 has a DVI port that the I6000 lacks.

My 'fixed' I6000 has already died.

I'm confused. I thought it was fixed this morning. Did it die
again?
