Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The motherboard is where the magic happens. It is home to the CPU, the RAM and everything that's needed for those components to work, including fans and power delivery. If you've spilled a beverage onto your device or left it out in the rain, a motherboard swap is likely needed due to the sensitivity of the components. This is the hardest guide for this device since there are many screws and cables connected to this component.
