You can not "fix" a failing CPU.  That chip is soldered to the system board of the laptop and is not replaceable.  You have to replace the entire system board which HP does not sell, forcing you to buy a USED on online somewhere.  In addition, the Windows license is tied to the system board, so when you replace the board, you have to buy a new Windows license.

 

The combined cost of these is most likely to be more than simply replacing the laptop.
