buckeyestargazer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'm wondering if it is possible to get a replacement or improved motherboard for a Clevo W150ERQ? Google isn't coming up with much. I'm quite happy with the computer as a whole and the components I've updated are great, but might need to look into replacing the motherboard.What's prompting this question is a hardware problem with the connection between the wifi network card and motherboard. I've determined that the wifi card is fine (tested in another computer) but it will not show up in device manager, not even as an unrecognized device. Strangely, the bluetooth works just not the wifi. I'm looking into having a local computer shop try to repair it, but if that's not possible replacing the motherboard might be the next step. I really don't want to have a USB/wifi adapter hanging off the computer either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyestargazer Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Well after talking with a local computer repair shop, it is most likely that the wireless card slot on the motherboard has a problem. So my question about replacing the motherboard is pertinent. My options are to replace the motherboard and keep the computer, use a USB wifi module (which sucks), or buy a new computer. I couldn't replace the computer I have for less than probably $1500 with the updates I've made to it, so replacing the motherboard seems like the best option.
