Question Dell 1747 Motherboard replacement

[dfarr67]

Hi,

I have a Dell Studio 1747 that needs a motherboard (Intel chipped NAT01 LA-5153P), finding a used/new MB is proving a challenge. I haven't dealt with AliExpress before- not a fan of China dealings although the part originally was manufactured there. So looking for a reputable shop I can send the loose board too. Would prefer Canadian vender but I place a higher value on competency rather than location.

Right about now, I'd say that your best option is from Aliexpress. Would you happen to have an SKU to your laptop in case the board might or might not come with an additional chip...?

This is what my search leads me to see.

Ordered from Aliexpress, not sure why it is so hard to get this board in NA, age? or just a crappy board in the first place.

Product came in- I'm not a tech and ordered the part number which the replacement shares part number and manufactured date of oem MB- the difference lies in the cpu socket although the cpu does drop in and the socket locks. The photo the vender posted has the same socket as existing MB. New MB has a white socket that is slightly different- gut tells me just a different socket supplier- just asking.

I'll answer my own question for the record. Both sockets are type pga-988a one is Foxconn the other Lotes.
