Is it possible to replace the motherboard of HP Pavilion gaming 16-a0004ur laptop with another one from the same family?

Question

laptops

Hello! First, this happened: the charging port fell into the inside, it could be charged for 2 months and in one day this possibility disappeared. I gave it to laptop repair, they changed the charging socket and could not start it. They call and say: "The processor burned out, the repair is impractical, take it away." In other SC it is similar. I decided to completely change the motherboard and was faced with the fact that there is no such model (C3JC) with delivery to the Russian Federation. But I found identical connectors, ports, location of the CPU and GPU, size, identical in form factor, but differ in the types and location of relays, relays, conduits, etc. (Models: G3HB (this one on AMD hardware, the rest on intel, nvidia), G3HA). Should I bother or is it better to look for a donor or a repair fee?

Answer 1

Actually, the only criterion is whether these boards will fit into your case. Those. the attachment points, the location and types of all connectors (external - mandatory, internal - within the limits of how many wires and cables will allow) and the windows of the cooling system must exactly match . The location of everything else is unimportant.
In my opinion, it will not work to find out how accurate this match will be from photographs , this is only possible through personal communication with a replacement board. And this is fraught with the purchase of something that may not fit. Whether you are willing to take the risk or not is up to you.
It is also possible that you will have to modify the hull a little (like, remove interfering bulkheads, etc.). Again, decide for yourself if you are capable of this.
And the last thing: when there was a trouble with the power connector, the first thing to do was to see if it was a broken edge of the board, or whether it was just the connector that fell off the board. In the first case, you really need to change the board (but this has nothing to do with the health of the processor), and in the second case, you could do without the SC, on your own, by bringing the power circuit out with wires and connecting the power supply directly to these wires, through the connector or without him, twists.
