DELL Inspiron 5501 Intel Motherboard N03X9 i5-1035G1 MX330

Genuine Dell Inspiron 5501 System Board

This is a genuine Dell OEM motherboard with an on-board Intel i5-1035G1 quad-core processor and discrete Nvidia MX330 graphics. It is designed as a direct replacement for the Dell Inspiron 5501 laptop equipped with the optional discrete graphics option. The board integrates the CPU and GPU, simplifying the repair process for a failed system board.

Fits Inspiron 5501 Discrete Graphics Models

This system board fits specifically into the Dell Inspiron 5501 chassis variants that originally shipped with discrete Nvidia graphics. It requires the matching laptop cooling assembly, display cable, and power connector layout found in those models. Using this board restores the original quad-core processing and dedicated graphics capability without needing separate component installation.

Replaces Failed Board in Discrete-Graphics Units

This part replaces a faulty motherboard in an Inspiron 5501 that already uses the Nvidia MX330 discrete graphics configuration. It is not compatible with Inspiron 5501 units that rely solely on integrated graphics, as the connector layout and thermal design differ. The upgrade is worth it when the original board has failed and the laptop chassis, screen, and peripherals remain functional.
