Usually in a laptop you can't just throw any motherboard in. Usually it has to be the same make and model. Sometime the boards can be interchangeable with in model families. However, I wouldn't bet on it.

1st hope that your mainboard is compatible with windows 7.

you need to go to the web site of your mainboard manufacturer for exp: msi, ati, asus, dell, hp, gigabyte, etc...

on the web site look for download drivers.

then you will need the model of the mainboard which is printed on the mainboard (in white text)

choose your OS, select sound or audio then click on the link to download the audio drivers.

If you dont see windows 7 for your mainboard, you can download it for Vista.

*if you dont see windows 7 or Vista, then you mainboard is not compatible with win7 and you will need to install windows XP

if its zip file, you will need to unzip it and run the setup file.



good luck.

what is the brand/model of your system? also what is your operatiing system?

The sound driver for your computer can be downloaded by using the model number of your Computer mainboard, use Google!

You need the model number of you computer mainboard, if you are using onboard audio and if you are using a sound card you would need the model number of that card. The model number of the mainboard can be found, either between the PCI, PCI-Express, AGP slots or near the RAM slots.
So it's the name of the manufacturer of your computer mainboard, eg: Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Abit, Foxcon etc... and the number that follows.

Then go to the manufacturers website and under the support heading, find your mainboard audio drivers.

You need to install the audio driver for your computer mainboard. The audio driver can either be found on the CD disk that came with your computer mainboard or on the internet. To find it on the internet one would search the internet with the name and model number of your computer mainboard followed by the word Audio. The name and model number can be found written on the mainboard, between the PCI, VGA, PCI-Express slots.

You may want to post the make and model number below as a comment to this solution and I will find the audio drivers for you.
Hope this puts your mind at rest!

All the best!

To update the Bios, you have to know exactly the Manufacturer, the mainboard model. You have to go to the Mainboard manufacturer Support Site to download the precise Bos file for the mainboard for the update.

A word of advice, updating the bios is not for the "novice" users. There are many precautions you need to heed before doing a bios update. Any errors during Bios update might render your mainboard useless.

Type the name and model number of your mainboard into google, remember to include the VER number. Your model number of your mainboard can usually be found between the PCI, VGA, AGP slots. Also include Specifications in your search. Alternatively post your Model number for your mainboard down below and I will find out the CPU socket for you.

All the best, thumbs up!!!
