compatible AMD or INTEL motherboard

[koby411]

I own a  HP ENVY x360 convertible 15m-cp0012dx 15.6"               with a AMD Ryzen 7 2700U 2.2GHz Motherboard L25820-601.

my battery bloated and I exchanged it since then it does not charge. I changed power jack nothing changed . the mother board is not easy to find . so my question is can I use the intel board instead>  HP ENVY X360 15-CN INTEL CORE I7-8550U GEFORCE MX150 2GB MOTHERBOARD L19450- in comparison all connection are the same ! thanks for any help !!

No. You will need to use an AMD motherboard from the list in the Maintenance & Service guide for your laptop.

You will also need a new Windows operating system activation key.

The previous key for the laptop was tied to the system board by MAC address on the Microsoft Licensing servers.

From the aforementioned  manual:  Notice that there are different part numbers for versions for Windows and non-Windows operating systems!

(8) System board (includes processor and replacement thermal material):

Equipped with an AMD Ryzen7 2700U 2.20-GHz (turbo boost to 3.8-GHz) processor (2400-
MHz FSB, 6.0-MB L3 cache, 15.0-W), an AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 Mobile Graphics subsystem,
and the Windows 10 operating system

I thank you for answering . .  I think I found my answer  after waiting for a reply .  Setting the intel and amd systems side by side  I then checked  ALL the parts they both have  by their serial numbers  (display .keyboard speakers  etc., including the cooling fan for processor.  the result is  I can switch  certain intel boards they will fit  ,   Taking the time to truly check does pay of . thanks for trying  to help .

That is interesting. The manual for your laptop lists only AMD platform system boards. Using one of the AMD system boards is taking the safe and proven route.

I wouldn't want to take the financial risk or possible frustration of putting in a system board that is not meant for the laptop enclosure.

I do wish you success in your  risky endeavor. It is your laptop.

Well not very surprising !! When I look up the manual for a part for my chevy it tells me to use OEM parts and not to go to Auto zone , O'Reilly or others even if they sell very compatible BRAND  NAME  makers for the same part . Same here pretty clear HP wants you to use the way more expensive AMD parts ,because of this model number . Conveniently not mentioning that there is another model EXACTLY the same  using intel .( quiet a bit cheaper in price I might add ) So calling it risky is pretty far fetched and a bit misleading scare tactic !!   I am just glad I kept doing my research.   But I do thank you for your input.
