My mother board locks up. Can the current board be replaced with a faster one? Where can I go to see all the options that will replace a AX1700 with E2220 Intel pent dual core

First thing you can do is to increase the RAM of the system. Most modern machine are running Windows 7 or a newer OS. Maximizing your RAM will speed up the processing power. If you have a desktop, you can look at the motherboard and do some research to see if you can put a faster CPU on the board. The only other option is to purchase a new mother board that you can put in a faster CPU. Those are your options that do not require entirely replacing your machine.

It's best to simply replace the entire Mother Board than try to replace the BIOS. Replacing a Mother Board vs replacing a BIOS is way easier.

Your current BIOS MIGHT work if you can find a flash file for it, but you have to be careful. If the BIOS your flashing isn't in production it's usually only PATCH flash file, to fix a problem with a BIOS, not upgrade it. And if you use the wrong flash file, it will TRASH your BIOS!

The BIOS, which is a chip, is usually micro-soldered to the Mother Board with high precision, by a robotic arm, and not easily removed or duplicated. The exception is if you happen to have a BIOS chip, that can be replaced, in a socket, but this is unusual instead of common.

The best source for BIOS info such as you are looking for is the American Megatrends Website itself at: AMI American Megatrends Inc Aptio (compatible with Windows 8) however their website is for the Mother Board manufacturer so you can't buy the BIOS as a consumer, but through a reseller, AMI Office, Authorized Representatives, etc (AMI American Megatrends Inc How to Buy).

You can however, buy a replacement Mother Board with a BIOS already installed on it (that's the way you usually buy them - with the BIOS pre-installed on the Mother Board) that's PAE, NX, and SSE2 and whatever else you want compatible. A great website to find computer parts and kits, new, refurbished, out of box, etc is the Tiger Direct Website at: TigerDirect com Electronics Tablets Phones Office Supplies Video Games. Just search for BIOS to find your specs, then check the bottom for possible best Mother Board kits to replace the one you have now. Hope this helps. :-)

1. Check your computer is getting power, (reconnect power from outlet)
2. if power is ok, then open your computer cabinet, disconnect motherboard power (24 pin), then make short Green and Black wires and check power supply fan is working or not, (Switch off computer when disconnecting)
3. if fan is not working replace power supply (SMPS) and check (working fan means SMPS is ok, but in some occasions Fan may work in defective SMPS )
4. if the power section is ok you need check you mother board

Thank you...
Please rate me if it is valuable

pls you need to check if your battery is in good condition and can supply current to the system mother board, if not replace it. if your laptop does not still comes on open it to view the mother board and dheck if the capacitors are not swollen or bust. if so, replace them, if your laptop can not come again, replace the motherboard with another.

When you turn it on, does it respond? Do any lights lit up? Do you have a known good ac adapter to try it with? Or is the ac adapter you are using lits up and/or powering on a different computer?Try to test both to check the functionality of the ac adapter and the port. If ac adapter will work with a different pc, then possibly the port is damaged. You may need to replace the motherboard. If still it wont turn on, then you may just need to replace the ac adapter.

Note that a faster front side bus(FSB) or system bus as listed on the above page will make a slower cpu faster the a cpu with higher Ghz and slower FSB.

Also RAM is your best upgrade, fast and easy.

replacing the mother board is the option that a repair person uses if they are authorized to Repair LG parts. on the back of the unit there is a square plate remove it and you will see the mother board. on the bottom right of the mother board is the culprit fuse. its soldered in. you will have to go to an electronic store and get another fuse and either replace it or have them replace it for you. i went to radio shack and picked up the fuse holder, soldered it in and in the future will only need to replace fuse.

you can upgrade the CPU without changing the motherboard if the CPU is compatible with the motherboard, you have to buy an Intel processor since the motherboard is Intel. Log on to http://www.intel.com/

its a proprietary Mother board. there for you need the exact replacement MOBO. with how old this one is. id say your going to want to look on ebay for one with a broken screen thats maybe been gutted and all thats left is a MOBO. cause you cant get it from panasonic heres the exact number and model you need CF18FHHZABE. but since its proprietary you cant go walking into best buy anytime soon. so ebay one that doesnt have a blown board and that should help. but for the cost it seems you could already be 1/4th on your way to a newer much faster and nicer laptop. - thnx Nathan

INTEL is a good option, usually they have 3yrs of warranty in mother boards, its ok with intel replacement.
thanks for asking
