@dtbruno,

 

According to your service manual (on pages 1-2), a type of the storage drive in your notebook is M.2 NVMe SSD 2280. 

Maintenance and Service Guide

 

You don't need to replace the motherboard. You can just replace an M.2 SSD drive.

 

Pages 32-34 of the manual shows how to replace M.2 SSD drives.
