15. Exchange The Motherboard
The charger-board needs to be removed to get down to the motherboard.
Under the charge board is a metal bracket with a spacer screw. This needs to be removed too.
Remove the 4 spacer screws at the CPU socket.
You made it. Now you can lift in a 30° angle the motherboard out of the bottom case.
There are at least two versions of the L8400B motherboard. One version with 64 MB on board memory and one version with 128 MB.
Everything inside of a notebook is tailored to that specific system. Upgrading is limited to CPU, HDD and memory. Some minor modification can also be done by trained personal, but you will not be able to get a different motherboard or a different VGA card from a different notebook vendor. The disassemble procedure shown is only for this ASUS L8400B model. When you are inspired after reading this article to take you notebook apart, you will find the entrance into most notebooks via the keyboard or the hinge covers. Please be aware that taking your notebook apart will void the warranty.
