Looking for a motherboard diagram for my 1150

I took apart my Dell inspiron 1150 today & removed the fan & ordered a new one being it looks clean yet was not doing its job.

Yet then I noticed an empty slot in the motherboard & wondered what its for?

Does anyone have a picture of the motherboard explaining what the slots are for?

I'm sorta hoping it might be an empty memory slot that will allow me to add more.

So any help is appreciated.

My Camera is broken, otherwise I would posted a Picture.
I can try with my phone when I get home tonight.
Or if you post a picture of the board, I can try to explain it.

You could just do your best to tell me where it's located. I've worked on plenty of 1150's.

Well I don't have the software that came with my camera to install on this PC.

Anyways there's a slot about my guess to be maybe 1-1/4 inches wide & another about two inches.

the one that is about two inches looks like it needs something plugged into it.
& that one is under the wires coming from the screen to the mother board connection.

& the one I'm most curious about is closer to the mouse pad with nothing above it. ..
Basically if you were to remove the heat sink/fan then you notice these two areas of interest.
There the only two visible once you remove the sheet metal cover hiding the fan.

Ok I found this Pic.

You can see the sheet metal cover on the left.

Along the right of the metal cover you can see (sorta ) an up-right thing thatlooks like it can us a plug?

& then going across to the right of the X there's another plug looking thingy that looks like it can be plugged as well?

Basically I'm speaking of the open rectangles that are not covered by sheet metal.

I do not know the answer but I believe dell has the system manuals for all their computer lines on their site. This may have the mobo info you need.

The first one you're talking about right next to the chipset heatsink is a Video card socket. The other connector thats below the heatsink is the keyboard connector.
