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

August 14, 2012I 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.

August 14, 2012Best 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

August 14, 2012The 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!)

August 15, 2012If 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
