HP G62 AMD to Intel conversion

[NigelThornberry]

Hi, what is the part number of the motherboard for the Intel version of this laptop with discrete graphics?

the K10 Turion II is such a slow CPU and I don't wish to use it.

This lapopt is out of warranty and I wish to do a platform swap.

I know that the HP 2000 with the E300 APU uses the same internal layout and I know that there is an Intel version.

I simply request the part number of the Intel HM55 motherboard.

Thank you in advance.

Hi:

You can find the list of supported Intel motherboards in chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below...

Thanks, and what about the HP 15-ba079dx motherboard? There are pads for a BGA discrete GPU on both the Intel and AMD versions of this DDR4 laptop.

You're very welcome.

The specs for the 15-ba079dx  notebook indicate that it comes with the AMD Quad-Core A10-9600P APU with the R5 graphics, so you would use the heat sink listed in chapter 3, on page 26, item 11.
