Genuine Dell Latitude E5500 IO Board
This is a genuine Dell OEM replacement right-side IO circuit board with DC jack, FireWire 1394 port, two USB ports and audio ports. It connects directly to the Latitude E5500 motherboard. The part is supplied as a working pull in like-new condition. It restores power input and peripheral connectivity on compatible laptops.
Connectivity capacity and limits
The board provides a DC power jack, one FireWire 1394 port, two USB ports and audio connectors. It handles charging, legacy FireWire devices, standard USB peripherals and analogue audio. It does not add extra USB ports, video outputs or networking beyond what is listed. When the original board fails, this unit restores the full factory port set.
Repair upgrade context
This F171C board replaces a damaged or worn right-side IO assembly on the Latitude E5500. The jump is worth it when the DC jack is loose, FireWire or USB ports stop working, or audio ports produce no sound. It is not for other Dell models or for adding ports the original chassis does not support.
