Hello
My motherboard was corrupted. I'm trying to buy a new motherboard. My product number is 1hf08ea. I have hp 15 ay055nk, i3 6006u. Part number: 909168-001. Please give me all the list of convenient i5 part numbers, so i can order the right motherboard from AliExpress?

Page 32 and 33 show the part numbers and the i5 is listed

The difference between (for example) 909168-001 and 909168-601 is the 601 is for windows and has something in the bios for licensing of windows. There is more to it then that.
If the replacement laptop is new or "open box' it has not been setup. Depending on the motherboard you may have to enter a code string "featurebyte" to set the features. A used motherboard will already have been programmed and have been activated for windows.
I recommend you get the same motherboard with same i3 cpu
if the bios has been corrupted lit is possible to program using an inexpensive USB programmer with a clip that attaches to the chip. Some shops can do this.
