Compatible motherboard? Dell Latitude 1qw vs. Dell Latitude 1-en

My motherboard just gave up on me. Since I'm working with an older laptop, finding replacements is nearly impossible, so I had to hunt for one through a classified ad online.
I managed to track down a motherboard from a Dell Latitude 1en, but my specific machine is a Dell Latitude 1qw.

Do you think those last two letters in the model designation will cause any issues regarding component compatibility?

Also, does the 1en version feature dedicated graphics, given that my 1qw definitely has its own chip?

Thanks.

I found a motherboard from a Dell Latitude 1en, but my actual laptop is a Dell Latitude 1qw.

Do those last two letters in the model name actually matter? Like, is there a chance this motherboard won't work with all my components because of them?

And does the 1en version have dedicated graphics, because my 1qw definitely has it?

Thanks.

Do NOT buy a motherboard that isn't an exact match for yours, because there is ALWAYS some random piece of crap that won't fit properly.

Quick question for you—what kind of glitch are we actually talking about here? Are you 100% certain it’s a motherboard issue...
