Best Motherboard Replacement Finder W/O Dismantling Laptop

[ggomez]

Good morning,

Wanted to ask, what's the best way to identify what motherboard i need, to replace the existing motherboard that has gone bad, without having to dismantle the laptop just yet?

Thank you in advance

@ggomez Welcome to HP Community!

I suggest you visit the service and maintenance guide to obtain the details you need: click here to access the file,

And here's what you need:

• Part: Intel Core i7-6500U processor 940M 2 GB
• Universal Part number: 829070-001

If you wish to replace the part on your own, visit the same link as mentioned above and check page. 49 - Component replacement procedures.

Although, HP doesn't recommend you do as it may end up damaging other components inside the device, unless you are a trained professional, I suggest you talk to HP if your device is still under warranty, there shouldn't be any charges to fix the motherboard replacement/repair.

I hope that answers your query,

Thank you very much for the information. Unfortunately my notebook is not under warranty anymore, but I do plan have a professional do the work. I appreciate it.
