    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not I could swap the motherboard and guts of an Aspire 5590 into the shell of a 5570. Any advice would be great thanks.. :) :rolleyes:

    Risky - even though they appear to be the same series and size, the mounting points and thermal tolerance can vary.
    Plus, you'd be spending enough cash on the motherboard and time on the transfer that you could just get a full Aspire 5590.

    Well I have both notebooks, the 5570 is missing hard drive and cd rom. The 5590's case, lcd screen, and cooling fan are not happy. I was hoping to maybe put them together.
