    Hi, I wanted to inquire about the parts dell allows the consumer to replace under the warranty. Parts like palmrest, keyboard, ram, harddrive etc are user replaceable, considering something goes wrong with them, but what about the following:

    1. Motherboard
    2. Speakers
    3. Heatsink
    4. Fan
    5. Bottom assembly
    6. LCD Screen
    7. LCD screen covers

    Most importantly I want to know about the motherboard and the bottom assembly. If Dell does not allow the user to replace the motherboard than does it allow the user to replace the bottom assembly which requires taking off the motherboard and installing it into the new base. :confused:

    For clarification on a given part for the model you have, contact Support and they will let you know if its a CSR part.
