Motherboad manual for Dell Inspiron 530 Q6600
Bought a new Dell from Tesco
http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.204-0126.aspx
Where can I get a motherboard manual?
Using my service tag on the Dell site only shows simple user manuals.
It's a
Dell Inspiron 530 Q6600 2GB PC Base Unit
The mother board is marked with "c RU us" with the big R reversed.
And also marked ...
DG33M03
Rev A00
SE0709
I found a foxconn one using DG33M03 but it only has an "easy guide" and doesn't look the same.
It has a serial and parallel port on the back which mine doesn't have.
Any ideas on
1) What manufacturer it is.
2) Where I can get a motherboard manual.
Thanks Jim

Thanks
I also managed to get a chat connection with Dell.
This is all they have.
It does show the major Mobo bits.
But it's not really a comprehensive motherboard manual.
But it seems thats all there is.
Thanks for the info

I bought mine from Tesco too, I thought it was great value.
I know what you mean about the manual.
It can be a bit confusing as Tesco still have some 530s with just a CoreDuo but with a FlexDrive and Firewire for the same price.
Where you looking for anything in particular about it ?
So far I've added another 2gb of memory to mine.

Nothing specific at the moment
I was a bit surprised to find no COM ports, I was hoping there might be one on the Motherboard. Strangly there does seem to be a floppy port !
I can buy a PCI card for about a fiver so no problems.
Perhaps you should start a tesco/dell thread ?
By the way, where did you get your memory, part number prices please. I need 2G as well.
Thanks Jim
