Hi,
I had a ASUS K55A laptop which died (board died) and I pulled out the i5 3210M processor out of it along with RAM, DVD writer, disk and Wireless Card.
Now want to know if I can just buy any laptop motherboard which can have this processor and somehow make a case using acrylic sheet or wood to hold the motherboard and use it as a desktop processor.
I saw couple of motherboards on ebay but not sure which one will be compatible with my processor plus also I want to know that how can i handle the power supply for that unit? The laptop motherboard doesn't have the on-board power plug, so if i buy a motherboard from ebay, how can i supply the power to that motherboard? And how would I know on which port of motherboard that power connector connects to?
I have seen the similar project on this but the power supply part is still not that much clear to me.
Thanks
