How to Replace a Computer Motherboard

Replacing a Motherboard

The exact steps required to replace a motherboard depend on the specifics of the motherboard and case, the peripheral components to be connected, and so on. In general terms, the process is quite simple, if time-consuming:

  • Disconnect all cables and remove all expansion cards from the current motherboard.

  • Remove the screws that secure the old motherboard and remove the motherboard.

  • If you are reusing the CPU and/or memory, remove them from the old motherboard and install them on the new one.

  • Replace the old back-panel I/O template with the template supplied with the new motherboard.

  • Remove and install motherboard mounting posts as necessary to match the mounting holes on the new motherboard.

  • Install the new motherboard and secure it with screws in all mounting hole positions.

  • Reinstall all of the expansion cards and reconnect the cables.

The devil is in the details. In the rest of this section, we'll illustrate the process of installing the motherboard and making all the connections properly.
