The motherboard is not working and need to e replaced. Since there are different motherboard models for the same laptop i got confused which one is the best. I need experts help.
My questions are:

What model of motherboard is the best and compatible with dell inspiron n5010?

And how to know which graphic card is integrated with that motherboard?

Last question, can I change the graphic card only since it is the corrupted part? (I know it is integrated but it can be desoldered).

 
Solution
for the first one. look for the model number imprinted on the board it self.
laptop motherboards dont advertise what CPU, Video they can support.(they only say the one that is currently installed) so many people end up guessing and many ending up frying their motherboard.

not worth it. just buy a new laptop. a new motherboard for laptop will cost the same. btw you can change graphic card on a laptop. (some people do try but ending up frying there motherboard)

No sir I am taking about buying a used motherboard.. not a factory new. It costs between 80-130$. The problem is what model should I buy. there are many and I want a better one than the old motherboard.

Do you mean by (some people do try but ending up frying there motherboard) that it works but overheats later on?
