Free Motherboard Manuals

I have searched with just about every search engine out there to find a website for free manuals for motherboards.

Free

Motherboard manuals describe product features and specifications including supported memory, cpu processor, expansion card and hard drive configurations. Manuals also document jumper settings and connectors on the motherboard and list system component setup procedures. Homepage of Manual Library. Search and download millions of manuals/guides/handbooks from ManualLib.

I have tried to find about ten different board manuals. Out of the the ten, I found one that did not cost money, but I paid a price for receiving it. Along with the manual came a product tool bar & conduit engine that Windows add and delete could not remove. Many hours of research got rid of those two, but still searching for free manuals. Anyone know of any free links.

  1. If you are looking for the type of manual that usually ship with the motherboard you can find them on the manufacturers page.

    if you are looking for (official) service and maintenance manuals issued to authorized technicians they are really hard to find.

    Lenovo has made (pretty much all of them) public http://support.lenovo.com
    various notebook manuals http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-laptop-service-manuals/

    others can be found via sites like http://ebookbrowse.com

  2. bookmark all the forums those deals with problems ,make bills and spread it ask people weather they need help maybe that will help

    • sorry that answer was for a different question ,multiple tabs were open so messed up ..sorry

      anyway you can search the mother board model in google and see the manufacturers site for the manual

  3. The manufacturer's web site is the best place. You may need to determine the exact model and revision for your board, but usually the manufacturer can help you identify exactly which board you have.
    I do recommend updating your BIOS to the newest version, but otherwise, not messing with you mobo much. (If you're moving the board to a new case or installing new equipment, definitely get the manual rather than guessing!)

  4. This site has all sorts of manuals:

    • So does this site:

  5. Makeuseof has an article for finding manuals for free for various electronic products -

  6. Best bet is the Makers website. If its an old motherboard then look under archive if they have one otherwise normally found in the support/download sections under manuals

  7. I don't know of a single site, but when I need a motherboard manual, I download it from the manufacturer's web site (usually under 'downloads' where you can also find drivers and BIOS updates). This is usually very straightforward, and the only difficulties have to do with rebadged motherboards (e.g. an ASUS motherboard used in a Fujitsu PC) which can be difficult to trace since the original manufacturer (ASUS in the example above) does not list the motherboard, and the PC manufacturer either does not carry the motherboard, or has a poorly organised site.

  8. Also I would recommend this videos: (laptop repair videos)

    But they are more detailed, and only for laptops...

  9. I don't really know... But you can find some even here, on this page..

Have you wanted to add extra ram to your notebook but don’t know how to do it yourself because the manual that comes with it didn’t teach you how to do it? Sending your notebook to the place where you bought your notebook to upgrade the RAM will cost you double compared to do it yourself. Or if you’re the slightly more adventurous type and want to do something like replacing a broken laptop keyboard. Getting access to it is often a puzzle within itself!

With so many electrical devices around in your home, from phones to TV’s, to washing machines, sometimes you might have to refer to the manual just because you can’t remember how a setting or mode works. Then you discover you can’t find the user guide. A lot of them are not easy to find, especially if the device is quite old. It’s quite frightening the number of times I’ve seen people throw something away because they don’t know or can’t remember how to use it.

Most consumer products can have a few minor repairs carried out by a sensible person who doesn’t just poke around inside an electrical device with a screwdriver! A lot of the hard work is actually knowing what to look for, where it is and how to easily get to it.

This is where it’s very handy to be able to lay your hands on replacement user guides, service manuals and datasheets to give you the best chance of getting your device working the way you want or repaired. Either way, this could save you a lot of money.

Here’s a selection of websites that offer user guides, manuals, datasheets, schematics and many other different types of document for you to look at and download.

As a VERY basic test I tried to browse and download 5 completely random manuals from each site to see if they were actually available. Finding the document you desperately need listed and then discovering it isn’t there would be highly annoying! This isn’t to say every single manual on each site is there, but it does give a general idea of how likely what you’re looking for will actually be available if listed.

1. Schematics Unlimited

Offers over 10,000 of Diagrams, Schematics, Datasheets and Service Manuals all downloadable in PDF format. There are around 600 manufacturers available in a big list or you can simply search for what you want. Documents ranging from old vehicles to consumer electronics are available.

To download the document, enter the captcha and click the button. All 5 random manuals were there.

2. eServiceInfo

eServiceInfo lists well over 50,000 datasheets, service manuals, schematics, diagrams and other informational documents for most types of electronic equipment from just about every manufacturer. They also host software downloads for things such as diagnostic software and ROM’s or EPROM’s. The huge database is fully searchable. There is also a forum where you can request a manual you need or perhaps share a manual someone else needs.

Although there is no captcha or anything, you do get a limit of 50 downloads per day, and 500 per month. Enough for 99.9% of people. All 5 downloads I tried were available.

3. Manuals Online

Manuals Online has over 300,000 manuals listed in the Manuals Online database ranging from baby care products and home appliances, to power tools and computers. There is also upward of 5,000 brands to search through. An online community is also available to share or seek information.

Apart from there being an online viewer, you can also download the manual by using “View Original Manual”. All 5 random manuals were available.

4. UsersManualGuide

UsersManualGuide is quite a small site relative to the others here, and it only lists around 20 brands. It has user manuals, operating instructions and guides for electronic equipment like mobile phones, cameras, PC Components such as monitors, software and home entertainment etc. Everything is listed by manufacturer and type, there is no search option.

The manuals are linked directly to the original manufacturer’s website document so some might not be there if they have been changed on the parent website. 3/5 of the ones i looked for were there.

5. DatasheetCatalog

This website is more specialized and focus’s on datasheets and manuals for electronic components and semiconductors from most of the major manufacturers. There are around 1 million datasheets available.

All the files I found were in PDF format and the 5 I randomly downloaded for were all there.

6. SafeManuals.com

The database on SafeManuals is over 3 million user guides from around 10,000 different brands! There is also a large number of catagories including; domestic appliances, automobiles, electronics and computers, sports equipment, jewelry and baby products. Once you select the manufacturer, a search box is available to narrow it down to your product.

All the random PDF files I tried manuals were there, but there’s a rather odd flash based captcha system to get to the download. You either have to rate the product by clicking on a star system to rate on “Ease of use”, “Reliability” etc, and leave a short opinion (can be random text), or click the “Security code” link and enter a 4 digit captcha where you have to remember the numbers as they flash on the screen!

7. Manuals Mania

With a quoted 700,000 manuals available, Manuals Mania has quite an extensive collection. Unfortunately a percentage of the manuals are not free and cost around 3 Euro’s each.

3/5 random free to download manuals were available and are protected by the standard two word recaptcha system.

Well, there you are, 7 websites where you’ll hopefully find the documentation you’re looking for. Of course, it’s always worth checking the manufacturer’s website if you get really stuck or try one of the sites with an online community which could help point you in the right direction.
