Unpacked CAD boardview for the Dell 3521 laptop motherboard, Compal board LA-9104P. At 2.32 MB it carries the full placement and netlist data needed to find components, pads and test points quickly while probing a dead or shorted board. CAD layout files of this kind are readable in OpenBoardView, FlexBV and similar viewers. Compal uses the LA-number scheme for its laptop boards, and the same number can exist in several revisions, so match the silkscreen on the PCB before relying on locations.
