HP Pavilion 15-f033wm motherboard upgrade

[Ninja_Unmatched]

I know there's an archived question about this laptop but this is different.  Question is this:  What motherboards are compatible or were used with this line of laptops. The idea is to upgrade the board itself to get an upgrade (CPU & others) 

I know which each model you can choose for better models & the same chassis is used.  WM suggests a specific model I think. (The one I have) but I am guessing f033 with another extension could be same laptop with different specs.

You actually can use any motherboard from the 15-f000 series. Here is the Service Manual:

The top motherboard would be this:

System board with Intel Core i3-4030U processor 790202-501

This series is used for a bargain price point laptop. The one you have was the lowest spec version and one year was sold by Wal-Mart as a Black Friday doorbuster I believe. 

Here is the motherboard for sale on eBay:
