Hp 15 Star Wars Motherboard Compatibility

[Georbed]

Hi everyone,

First of all I would like to say I am not a computer tech savvy, but I followed through some reads to be asking this.  I would like to change/upgrade my laptop and

The question I have is:

Is the board 836093-601 I7 6500u or model 15-an051dx  compatible with my  laptop i5 6200u (Hp 15-an001na) GeForce 940M? It looks like all information I found on the processors say the same thing.

I really appreciate your help in advance.

Thank you all for your answers.

Here is the Service Manual:

Manual 

836093-601 is only compatible with the Star Wars models which may mean the ports are aligned slightly differently on the Star Wars and the other motherboards from the same series will not fit right. So if your model is not Star Wars I would say that motherboard is not compatible. If it is Star Wars, you are good to go.

Hi thank you very much for the reply.

My laptop is HP Star Wars Special Edition 15-An001na with Intel Core i5 6200u, can you please clarify if the 836093-601 which has the i7 6500u processor compatible or not. Can you also help me find the motherboard part to purchase if its compatible with my laptop. Thanks a lot  for your time.

If your laptop is Star Wars its compatible. I thought you had already found one. 

Believe it or not this was the cheapest I could find and no idea if they will ship to Africa:
