Dell Chromebook 5190 Motherboard Replacement

Introduction

If you are experiences a glitching display, unresponsive peripherals and sluggish performance, try the Dell Chromebook 5190 troubleshooting page for possible solutions before replacing the system board. If you are still experiencing these issues after troubleshooting, you may need a system board replacement.
