TP01-2096 Specs Don't Match What's Inside

[eccoing]

On the Specifications for the TP01-2096;  318G8AA;  it calls out the Erica6 motherboard.  Upon opening the box the Motherboard clearly says 2020 and Erica3_Erica5.   This was just purchased allegedly as new.   Did I get an old unit?

hi

ok first check

AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700G

although they are similar models, hp will indicate here

erica 3

https://support.hp.com/ie-en/document/c06955243

• TDP: up to 65 W
• Socket type: LGA 1200

Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

erica 5

• TDP: up to 65 W
• Socket type: LGA 1200
• Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

  Processor	TDP

 if so, according to hp, you could not have this processor
So far, I can't remember exactly if this has ever been tested, with success, although some discussion about different models and compatible processors

check SSID

• HP name: Erica6
• SSID: 8906

• HP name: Erica5
• SSID: 87D7

• HP name: Erica3
• SSID: 87D6

and hp parts

L56021-605

ASSY,MBD, Erica6, AMD Cezanne PROM,WIN

Thanks for replying.  The TP01-2096 does specific Erica6 on that spec sheet link you posted. 

The image you posted, presumably of the L56021-605 is not labelled as Erica6 but rather Erica3_Erica5.  See zoomed in view.

Can you confirm that the image was meant to correspond to the Erica6 motherboard as this?

Unfortunately the barcode tag is to blurry to make out the part number on it.

Thanks.

yes @eccoing 

that is what I am saying
information from hp parts indicates an erica 6 motherboard
the photo given there, we can see the same thing that you indicate on yours
but I can't know what hp uses as an image here

Do you have the reference on your motherboard, and check the SSID as mentioned @eccoing ?
