  1. I want to update the 7537 with a mSata-SSD too. As we can see there’s only (?) the connector missing on the usb-daughterboard. So my question is: If i’m going to solder the missing connector on the daughterboard, will the mSata work ???

    1. HI,
      did any one found or any luck with mSata over 7537 and any effort over Processor upgrade from 4510U to i7 47XX MQ /HQ?

    I haven’t soldered the mSata connector yet, but i have it at home waiting to be soldered…ordered from china for around 2$

  3. Ok, i’ve disassembled my 7537 to take a look what’s going on with this mysterious mSATA/USB board if it’s possible to solder my mSATA connector which i’ve bought.

    First, my mSATA connector doesn’t fit to the board connections because the ppins on my connector are on both sides and it has to be an other mSATA connector with pins only on one side of the connector.

    Second, i think on the lower side of the board you can see that there are some chips missing (maybe the mSATA controller chips), so i don’t think mSATA will work with only a soldered connector.

    I’ve made a picture from the board:

  4. Hello friends. Did anyone really try to change the processor of the 7537 to a better one? I chatted with dell today and they told me that it is not possible to change the processor on 7537 to another one.
