Upgrading an old laptop mobo

[JessieKirk]

Hiya,

I have an ancient HP Pavilion 15-n267sa that I'd like to further upgrade. She's truly the laptop of Theseus: the mobo, chassis, bottom plate, top plate, keyboard, HDD and wifi card have all been replaced or upgraded.

So I'd like to ugrade her mobo so she has as much RAM, processing power and onboard graphics card power as possible.

What would be the most powerful N-15 series board I could get, please? Are there other more powerful boards (like Zenbook) that would fit?

I already used a Zenbook WiFi/bluetooth to ugrade her, so that's why I mention it.

I know it's not worth it, but I adore her. She is my project.

Thank you!

Hi:

I have attached the 15-n200 model series' Maintenance and Service Guide, below.

Chapter 3 has the list of supported AMD motherboards.

The maximum memory supported in any of the motherboards would be 2 x 8 GB of DDR3L-1600, even though the service manual indicates the max is 12 GB.

Thanks, but this is for the 15-P series. Do 15-P series boards fit in an 15-N series chassis with N-Series coponents?

You're very welcome.

I must have mislabeled it.

I got the manual from this link since HP has removed support for the model series and relabeled it correctly.

Thank you, you legend!

I'll bag myself an upgraded N-series board as soon as I have the cash.

(Unless anyone as crazy as me tells me that I can put something even meatier in there that will fit).

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.
