Hey, guys.
I just got in a 3520 and everything works good except the motherboard. The cpu is very obviously damaged and it doesn't post; Has main, 5, and 3 volt rails, but no pwr_ok signal from cpu, so 1 volt never comes up. Replacing the motherboards in these things is kinda expensive, but I can get Latitude 5520/ Precision 3560 boards with 1185G7's and dead gpu's for like $20.
I have the tools and confidence needed to swap a bga cpu, just no real info as to if it would work out. I don't know if the 3520 BIOS has the microcode for the 1185G7
The 3520 never shipped with the 1185G7, but the 5520 did. I'm honestly just curious if it would work, or if someone here could write me a custom bios for it if need be.
I'm doing a cpu swap for this board regardless, and I am aware of how much of a pain it will be. I have successfully swapped cpu's and chipsets.
