I6000 and I9300 motherboards
As regular readers know, the I6000 is dead. My daughter will inherit my
I9300 but doesn't like it -- too big. I'm guessing, but it is a guess, that the motherboard is the same. The keyboard is (which I always thought was a waste on the I9300 -- could have had a larger keyboard). Anyone worked on both? Thanks, Tom |

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 6000 http://www.parts-people.com/images/products/F6402.JPG Inspiron 9300 (all hacked to hell, ignore all the extra wires) http://www.uoregon.edu/~jhochspe/bla...EPLACE%201.JPG |

No way. Forgot the I9300 has a DVI port that the I6000 lacks. My 'fixed' I6000 has already died. |

Turns out my repair of the power connector wasn't successful. I can sort of get it running but I'm having wireless problems now. Not sure it is worth it. |

Or is it the PCMCIA (cardbus). Sometimes when you pull the motherboards out, the slots and cards come loose. No big deal, Pull the miniPCI card out and re-seat it. You can do the same with the PCMCIA slot, though it's finickier. Unless.... does it now have other problems? Don't lose heart just yet. Although... it may be better to wait a few day before going back in, to lessen the frustration factor. |

Although... it may be better to wait a few day before going back in, to lessen the frustration factor. It's a miniPCI and I've tried every trick in the book. The biggest problem is that it won't consistently charge as the connection on the motherboard is toast. For now, it goes in a drawer. I ordered its replacement today. |
