Unfortunately, that is not a good identifier of the motherboard.

Take a look in the Maintenance & Service guide for your notebook's model series.

See ch 3, pages 21-24

 

 

"this is the same board that i had been having trouble with and found out the board was bad and now its running great." That does not make much sense to me. I believe in Murphy's law.

What I ment was I replaced the motherboard and now it's running fine.

Are you not willing to identify you laptop specifically using the means described in the video?
