Need help finding motherboard part number for Dell 1564

[Aeny]

It seems from my quick Google search that (0)8CNC9 is also an 'Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD 1 MB' as found here. I'll update the first post with this part number.

The laptop is still in working condition btw, I just have to hit it REALLY hard left of the touchpad to get the HDMI output to work .
I'll PM you the Service Tag in a minute. I tried reasoning with Dell here in Belgium but they acted like handing out part numbers was extremely illegal and dangerous. Thanks for all the help btw

A little update on this motherboard hunt.

While I was googling once again I found this link. Titled: "DELL NEW DELL MOTHERBOARD ASSY DISCRETE PARK 6T28N". Notice the discrete park there?

PARK is the 'codename' of the HD5450 that ATi uses, and the one Dell uses in their documentation also. So it seems I have finally found my motherboard.

So it seems (0)6T28N is the HD5450 board! (will update first post)

Any comments, suggestions? Perhaps I'm wrong here? I'll be ordering after I replaced the charger which died when unplugging from the mains.

No I didn't buy the 6T28N board, still on my stock one.

Also a note on the CPU side, do repaste if you can. i330M in my 1564 hit 85°C and then started throttling all the way to 1.5GHz. repaste dropped temperature to 70°C and no throttling so far.

The fan profile on these seem insane by the way, makes me think Dell built these to troll people or something.

I still have my 1564 as trusty old workhorse, matter of fact I'm using it right now (in school).

And yes a repaste will help keeping the temperatures in check but barely enough to keep the CPU from throttling, these throttle at 85°C it seems.
With a repaste mine dropped to 75°C max so it doesn't throttle back anymore. (1.58GHz throttled vs. 2.13GHz normal).
The heatsink is really crappy by the way. It might just be enough to keep your i5 cool enough. A repaste is worth it. let me know if you ever do that, I'm thinking of upgrading to an i5 or i7 myself.

It seems there's now a bios mod for the 1564. Lots of new options to change in there! Currently only A10 is unlocked and A13 is requested for unlock, if you want to see A13 unlocked then please post in that thread.

Figure I'd leave this here instead of starting a new thread, as it is somewhat motherboard related.
