It seems my motherboard has crashed. I found a replacement motherboard (exact same part number) on Amazon.com, but someone told me that HP motherboards are proprietary by serial number and if I put a new motherboard in it might not work because serial numbers won't match. Is this true? Am I wasting my time and money by purchasing a motherboard and trying to install it?
