    Can I 'backdate" my cf72 to a Plll?

    I have a cf72 pentium 4 with a dead mobo. As I have seen these boards seem to turn into paperweights at a much higher rate than the Plll's can I use a Plll board in my unit? Will this cause major probs?
    Thanks, Mike

    The last cf-72 that I had problems with I had to change the whole base unit as the heatsink was different between models
    The cf-72 is in sections
    Use your lid/display and hard drive/caddy ,optical drive,and battery and change the complete base unit
