Possible dead motherboard replacementing to new one

I would like to get some information about replacementing motherboard on DV6 3050so.
This is the motherboard 603939-001.
Is it easy to make change by myself? Do I need to do anythign else than take gpu and cpu + fan off and connect
them to new motherboard? Is it thermal paste needed?
And how I can be sure that the motherboard is actually failured not anything else?
And I checked fast from ebay one sellers sells it 70€ is it possible to get cheaper somehow?
Laptop is about two years old, Im not actually sure is it under or below. But does HP replace motherboards without fee?

Overall
- How I can be sure its motherboard?
- Is it easy to do by myself?
- Where do I should get one?

 

I would not replace a MB on a notebook (unless under warranty).

Too many things can be/go wrong: as evidenced by your questions.

Best to look for a new system - cheaper, better, more reliable and less hair loss in the long run - especially when you have no experience with this.



Good luck.

 

AFAIK, the CPU is soldered on that one. There's nothing you can do. If it is still under warranty, send it out. If not, like tiller suggested, purchase a newer system.

 

Yea, I ordered new Asus yesterday. I thought if that would have been replaced or repairable, but anyway thank you for helping me.

 

I have replaced a motherboard on a DV6 3143 US on my own. It is an Intel version with an I3 processor, but quite similar to your model. It still works to this day.

If the processor is soldered on, then buying a new Mobo would come with the new processor soldered to it also, so that shouldn't stop you. (although it does not appear so from the manual)

1. According to this service guide, it is the correct model - http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02659236.pdf

2. Dismantling that laptop would require moderate experience with doing this sort of thing. I wouldn't do it if you have never opened a laptop before, but you do not need to be an expert. YES you need new thermal paste. GPU and CPU. GPU should be soldered on board. There are MANY plugs you will need to pay attention to when dismantling. The keyboard and trackpad can be especially troublesome if you don't know what you are doing.

3. I got mine from ebay. I order US only and great feedback, but that's because of where I live and the possibility of returning it. It will probably cost $150+. Rough guess.

I enjoy doing this sort of thing every now and then, so it was fun for me. Also my kids now have a laptop to mess around with that I don't care a ton about.

 

I had opened my laptop before but never get actually motherboard out until yesterday. Some reason I want to sort of how everything works and what are inside machine. Laptop is very good example of this kind addict what I have. Like I took first time motherboard out from case, I think its enough if you dont use too much power, testing where it comes off and common sence is good tool where errors have no room.
Overall if new motherboard costs around 100€ and my laptop has few major damage in case it might not be worth it. Thank you for sharing your comment
