Hp 15 f387wm motherboard upgrade

[Gary-]

I have a Hp 15 f387wm that needs a motherboard replacement and I was wondering if there were any upgrade options for my model? I am hoping for something with dedicated graphics.

It does not appear that any of the supported motherboards in the model series come with a discrete graphics adapter.

See chapter 3 of the maintenance and service guide.

Ok thanks, I guess no dedicated gpu, but I am confused because the manual says on Chapter 3 page 17 that the optical board comes with up to an AMD A8 6410 processor, but the Hp product specifications for the f387wm say it has an AMD A8 7410 processor. So how does that work? Typo?

You're very welcome.

HP probably added the newer AMD Quad-Core A8-7410 processor after the manual was published and HP never released a newer service manual.

If you want to try and find the original motherboard, which appears to be the best one you can get, below is the link to the parts list which has the motherboard part number and description that came with your notebook:
