Well you could replace the motherboard. You still see that model sold on eBay and they are cheap now. I would try to find a unit with a cracked screen missing hard drive or something that makes it cheap and harvest the motherboard out of it. 

 

I certainly understand your affection for it. One of the best laptop series HP made but its vintage now.

Its very very old and the motherboard is the likely failure mode. Its like a car with 200,000 miles. A survivor but finally given up the ghost.
