[pantsi01]

Hello i have the motherboard LA-A994P and i m planning to upgrade my laptop with the model LA-A999P. Will i have to enter again the laptop's info on the Bios using a dmi tool? Anyone who has done this upgrade and possible problems?

That means nothing. The specs of your machine

I don't know where did you get motherboard from. It supports 

4th Generation Intel Core i5-4210U (1.7 GHz, 3MB L3 cache, 2 cores) 4th Generation Intel® Core i3-4005U (1.7 GHz, 3MB L3 cache, 2 cores) 3rd Generation Intel Core i3-3217U (1.8 GHz, 3MB L3 cache, 2 cores) Intel Celeron N2830 (2.42 GHz, 1MB L2 cache, 2 cores) Intel Celeron N2815 (2.13 GHz, 1MB L2 cache, 2 cores)

Therefore you can get right System board part # on pages 60-61 of the following Guide

The numbers match HP part number with the motherboard number he listed in an ebay search.

Yes i did a little search there are way more mainboards i can use, my mainboard is LA-A994P with Intel Celeron N2840 processor. The only concern i have is if i must and how to use a dmi tool to make it boot properly as i m going to use a brand new mainboard to upgrade the laptop to an i3 processor.

I don't know, but why wouldn't another motherboard not boot properly on it's own? All I can think of if you wanted the imbedded OS key.

As far as i know a brand-new laptop motherboard needs preparation to work without prompting a message on startup. 

S/N of the machine etc. I have never done this i know there are some special tools out there. If anyone believes i will have a problem please guide me thank you.
