HP OMEN 17-an022na Motherboard Dead

[Nealide]

Hi,

To keep things short I basically woke up one morning turned my laptop on and nothing happened. Had the laptop for about 3 years with no issues and then that was it. I always worked from external SSD drives and kept the laptop clear apart from the odd game. I had to get a new desktop PC as I use it for working from home the only problem is I need a laptop for when I am not at home. I just found out from a PC repair place that it is the motherboard that died but I am having trouble locating a replacement. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Also would it be cheaper to buy a new laptop rather than a new motherboard for my old laptop? I did spend money upgrading the ram and harddrive on my old one.

Many thanks in advance.

A motherboard does not die, if it does (in most cases) it only has a short circuit. Of course, the GPU or CPU can also be burned out, but I don't know that in the current case.

In your case: Service is required !
- The computer should be disassembled and checked.
- [ always recommended ] Thermal paste for CPU GPU and bridges should be renewed
- [ always recommended  ]The function of the fan(s) must be checked

- Short circuit test / Replacing the defective components ( mostly MOSFET and/or capacitors )

- battery and power adapter test

- General cleaning ...

If you can't do that, you should have it serviced by a professional notebook (chip level) repair store.

Required for repair 😃
- 2 hands
- 1 brain
- Chip level skills
- Tools

A PC/Notebook shop won't fix it for you, they just want to sell you a new computer...
