Very hard and expensive to replace a motherBoard on a laptop. If you have performance problem try to clean the computer from all malware, using malwarebyteantimalware . the ferr version is excellent. After disable all program that open when you start your computer. CCleaner has the option to do this and it will also delete unnessessary files ... If you still have preformance problem you could change the memory chip in your laptop for a bigger one ... but usually the clean-up is enough

Motherboard is expensive. It's better to buy a new computer rather than a motherboard.If you want to increase performance, then upgrade the RAM stick and harddrive.

The Dell Studio 1537 has 2 video options, UMA Intel and ATI HD3600. Both solutions are built into the motherboard and essentially not upgradeable

The inverter maybe faulty, it supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp and would cause the screen to be black.Since it was just repaired, I suggest you return it to Dell to have it repaired under warranty.

Go to Computer (or My Computer) and locate the disk drive probably below the Local Disk (C:). It is usually the one labelled drive D (D:/). Right click on it and select eject, This will eject it. Be sure to like my answer if it works, thank you :)

check the charger, if it's fine, you have a motherboard problem. Replace it at dell authorized service center

The red wire = + ve wire

Hi There,

You've done the exact troubleshooting necessary to narrow down your problem to only 1 real possibilty.

Your video card has failed. If the 1537 operates off a "discrete" (separate and detachable) video card, it can be replaced fairly easily. If it's of the sort which is BGA (BAll Grid Array), meaning that it was soldered to the motherboard with high tech robotics (the video card attached on almost microscopic balls of extremely dense high melting point solder), then the only practical solution is to replace the motherboard.

I wish you well,

Selk

2 possible causes, faulty adapter or faulty motherboard. try to update the BIOS if applicable. If this does not work, attempt to test the adapter on another laptop to confirm if it is working, or try a confirmed working adapter with your laptop. If same issue with another adapter, or if your adapter works with another laptop, it will be a motherboard problem. If the adapter fails on another laptop or if another adapter works with your laptop, you'll need to get a new adapter. Hope this sheds some light. Feel free to rate the usefulness of the information.

Could be either the inverter board or the LCD screen cable.
