Possible bad mothboard

‎04-07-2012 07:38 AM

I have  Pavilion P6210Y that's about 2 years old.

Boot shows "Reboot and select proper boot devive or insert......

Hitting any key brings up the same prompt.

I can enter the setup and shows nothing in the 4 SATA drives.

Tried replacing HD and CD/DVD drives, same thing.

 

Run the BIOS Diagnostics, F9, Passes 1 and 2, fails #3, no drives.

 

I'll assume its the motherboard unless I hear different.

Owner has no recovery discs.

I know I can reorder Recovery Media but can I get  new motherboard that will be also that will be tied to the OS?

One can order a replacement motherboard, but I fear the cost will turn it away.  http://www.algogo.com/store/products/HP-Pegatron-M2N78%252dLA-ASUS-OEM-Violet%252dGL8E-NVIDIA-9100-A...

I know nothing about that vendor, just showing that replacements are available.  Google to find a vendor that is approved by the client or buy a known brand motherboard and a new OS because the HP OEM OS will not transfer.
