Hi,
Just seeking a bit of advice regarding a laptop i'm trying to salvage, i'll cut to the chase...
you can get a motherboard pretty cheap these days for g74sx, i upgraded mine to 3GB version for $180 AUD from Ali Express,
but i advise extreme caution when buy from that site, there are so many shonky sellers and the chances of getting ripped off are high.. and dont trust the buyer protection
to save your ass.
you also need to know a few things first.
there are different board versions;
2GB version - part number that has "2700" at the end eg: 60-N56MB2700-B07
3GB version - part number that has "2800" at the end eg:
3GB with 3D version - part number that has "2900" at the end
if your current notebook isnt the 3D model, you cant get the "2900" board as the monitor connectors wont be the same, unless you buy a 3D monitor too.
so you need "2800" board
