[Request] Alienware M11x(R2) High-Resolution Motherboard Images Anonymous 2015-08-23 00:33:44 No.1037

Got a problem, and somebody on 4chan said lain /diy would be better equipped to help me with it than /g.

I've got an Alienware M11x R2 and I just love this laptop. It's the best laptop I've ever owned. I'm also really into Free Software and I've been looking into the possibility of porting Coreboot(and eventually Libreboot) to it, as it's hardware is very similar to the already supported Lenovo T400.

But I have a problem, which is that the text indicating the model of the Embedded Controller is partially rubbed off and it's ambiguous which embedded controller it uses(ENE technology, starts with KB). I've looked up as many images of it that already exist as I can, but I've not been able to get any further from those. Can somebody upload some pictures of the motherboard with readable text on as many chips as possible? You would be helping me immensely.

Well just a few minutes after I posted this I found a datasheet and it appears that it's an ENE KB932 D3, which looks like it'll work, so I'm pretty excited. If anyone's got one they can take pictures of it would still be really helpful, but the embedded controller is confirmed. ENE KB932 D3

where did you find it? I bet you could try and buy a broken board off eBay or craigslist.

Here's one of the sheets I found. Once I got used to figuring out how to correlate the OEM terms with the ODM terms it was easy.

That's not the R2. That's the R3 I think. This is one version of the R2. http://www.smdcode.com/media/service-manuals/laptops/toshiba/compal-la-5821p-r1-schematics.pdf
