Laptop Motherboard Replacement & Repair

Today was a busy day but I took my customer's notebook computer home (HP Compaq V6200 AMD Model to swap out and replace the laptop motherboard. Having already took it apart during the day so we already knew that HP part number 443775-001 was the exact systemboard for this repair job.

443775-001 is sold under this description "System board (motherboard) - Supports AMD Turion 64 dual-core mobile processor - For full-featured Pavilion model". You won't ever have trouble finding this exact part if required because on a recent survey... hp part #: 443775-001 comes in #2 on the list as the laptop motherboard that is replaced. Just some interesting fact for anyone who's ever asked themselves that question.

The Intel model of this motherboard has a very similar part no. so don't get them confused. Make sure your old motherboard has this EXACT SPECIFIC SPARES #: 443775-001 and that the one your buying is the same.

This notebook motherboard is SPECIFICALLY made for the HP Pavilion dv6200, dv6300, dv6400 and Compaq Presario V6200 series model computer notebook.ONCE AGAIN, Please be aware that this laptop motherboard only works with AMD cpu's in the laptop models listed.

Dell laptops are becoming more and more popular to the average computer user which would explain the sudden increase in customers bringing their Dell notebook into my shop to have it fixed regardless of the problem. Most recent was a systemboard swap on a Dell Inspiron 1400 series laptop which I replaced with the same part # off the old main board.

That part number was KN548 also seen sometimes as 0KN548. This specific laptop motherboard comes and was made with and includes the onboard Intel video graphics chipset. Other notable features I saw on this computer systemboard was four USB ports, a firewire port, ethernet port, 56k modem, 8 in 1 memory reader, a express card slot, VGA / S-Video output port and headphone/microphone jacks.

Dell Mainboard Part Number KN548 Is Only Compatible With The Following Notebook Series: Dell Inspiron 1400, 1420 and Dell Vostro 1400 laptop PC's ONLY that are already using Intel graphics.

*You can also use part no. 0UX283 / UX283 which still works in the same Dell Inspiron and Vostro 1400 model laptops but use's nVIDIA on-board graphics. I would only recommend this to advanced computer user's as you would need to change the CPU, heatsink and the fan in order to install this motherboard properly.

My last post on laptop motherboard 482867-001 might of confused some people who bought the hp dv5 with a Intel chipset rather than the system board using the nVIDIA setup.

Anyone requiring the hp pavilion Intel dv5 laptop motherboard will need part number 482868-001 which hp specifies as a "System board - UMA version, Intel 45nm Core 2 Duo processor support - With Intel Mobile GM45 chipset, ICH9M Southbridge".

Here is a list of laptops I found that use this particular systemboard: HP Pavilion dv5, dv5-1000, dv5t-1000, dv5-1000T, dv5-1007, dv5t-1100, dv5t-1100, dv5-1132, dv5-1138, dv5-1140, dv5-1150, dv5-1000, dv5t-1100, dv5t-1000us dv5-1000us and dv5-1101tu models. *THE 482868-001 PART NUMBER IS ONLY FOR INTEL CHIPSET BASED HP PAVILION DV5 AND DV5T SERIES NOTEBOOKS.

So remember, if your hp pavilion dv5 laptop use's Intel parts instead, you will need to replace it with part number 482868-001 and not the nVIDIA setup which goes under hp spares #: 482867-001.

I hope this clears up any questions you may of had on this notebook and as always, feel free to ask questions if you have any... I will always respond and help out anyone the best I can. Now let's all enjoy this beautiful day!

It's easy to fall in love with the hp dv5 pavilion laptop computer series but so easy to fall out of love with it when a motherboard problem occurs. The 482867-001 is the is the most common dv5 notebook board that I seem to come across so I feel like.

HP will only tell you that the 482867-001 is "System board (motherboard) - Contains the nVIDIA chipset, full-featured+, and DDR2 800MHz memory supported". Laptop motherboards are so specific to it's part number, that even 1 no. off and the hp motherboard might fit... but will not work.

I have the dv5 systemboard in my hand so here's just some random tech spec's you may find useful. First thing is YES this is the full-featured+ ( FF+ ) with nVIDIA 7990-U2 video graphics onboard. From a quick look, I see 1x SATA hard drive connection, a built in card reader with one expansion slot is present along with a 1394 firewire and 2 USB ports.

HP and Compaq use 482867-001 now for it's spares part on HP Pavilion dv5, dv5-1000 and dv5-1100 entertainment notebooks. To double check just turn over your machine to see the bottom and look for the model number which is on the bottom of every laptop.

You should be looking for a HP Compaq number similar to the follow format: FE849UAR, FE849UA, FE851UAR, FE851UA, FE853UAR, FE853UA, FE860UAR, FE860UA, FE864UAR, FE864UA, FQ372PA, FR724PA, FR725PA, FR764PA, FR765PA, KG306AV, KQ571AV, KQ574AV are the most common logic boards while FY975PA, FY976PA, FL772AAR, FL772AV, FS021UAR, FS021UA, FS036UAR, FS036UA, FS038UAR, FS038UA, FW984AS, FZ712PA are compatible but you won't find too many containing that part for some odd reason. *REMEMBER THIS PART NUMBER ONLY WILL WORK WITH INTEL CORE 2 DUO PROCESSORS.

Anyone lucky enough to own a HP Pavilion dv7 series laptop knows how beautiful this machine is. What you may not know is the laptop motherboard part number in case something ever happens. I'm talking about 486542-001 and sometimes referred to as part #: 71CQ0132002.

HP show's these laptop motherboards to be "System board (Motherboard) - UMA architecture, supports AMD Turion 64 Dual-Core processor".

In addition to those details, this notebook systemboard included some extra goodies like two SATA HDD plugs, one USB port on board, one HDMI port, a expansion slot with card reader, web-cam capable and this part number used the AMD RX781NB/SB700 chipset.

I would also highly recommend that your computer currently has the 486542-001 inside because it does only work with HP Pavilion dv7, dv7-1000, dv7-1100, dv7z-1000, dv7z-1100 model AMD dual core laptop computers.

HELPFUL HINT: An easy way to do this is to turn your laptop over, remove the memory and the part number would be under there. Sometimes it is under the keyboard which you could find by unsnapping the notebook keyboard and reading the hp spares part number under it.

Besides the HP dv6000 series being the most popular model of Pavilion laptops, it also is the most confusing model when trying to replace it's laptop motherboard. Most recently I just finished putting back together a dv6500 after replacing the notebook systemboard. We used part number 460900-001 since that was the PC main board currently in the computer.

460900-001 has the following specifications - "System board (motherboard) for Pavilion dv6000 series - Full-featured (UMA) with integrated Realtek (RT8201CL) NIC". I have this laptop motherboard in hand and can see from the part that it use's a Intel 965GM chipset with mPGA478MN socket CPU's and uses a on-board nVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS video card. Other features include one HDMI port, three USB connections, one VGA output and a 5-in-1 SD media card reader.

You will need hp part no. 460900-001 if you own a HP Pavilion dv6000, dv6500, dv6600 or dv6700 series model notebooks ONLY (no exceptions) that require a Intel 965GM chipset and mPGA478MN socket processor.

Hopefully this was able to help clarify any questions you may of had on your hp pavilion dv6000 series laptop in regards to it's PC logic board. If you have any questions regarding this computer part or laptop motherboards in general, please leave a comment and I will reply.

When it's pouring rain outside, there is no better time to repair laptop motherboards... actually there is never really a good time to since so many problem's could occur with your notebook computer. It was pretty funny because the first 2 people who brought me in their laptop had the same exact hp nc6000 machine, so I ended up doing the exact same job twice technically and let me tell you how much of a time saver that was. HP laptop motherboard 344401-001 was used in both nc6000 notebooks and both worked like a charm after swapping out the main logic boards.

HP shows the following specifications for spares part number 344401-001 - "Motherboard (system board) - Includes ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (M10P/M10C) graphics controller with 32MB DDR memory, ADI1981B AC'97 Codec audio controller, and integrated Broadcom BCM5705M 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) NIC".

The following driver details off the laptop motherboard itself were:
PCB-PC8803-MB-46A Ver: 1.5 / PP2090 / 6050A0032501-A06

Make sure your nc6000 laptop use's DDR333 speed memory and has a Intel Pentium-M Centrino CPU just to be sure that your getting the right PC board with the right motherboard drivers. Good to report that along with the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 which is integrated into the laptop circuit board... it comes standard with a wireless network card Broadcom BCM5705M which is also extremely useful for these notebook models.

Don't forget that hp motherboard upgrade 344401-001 is only compatible with Intel Pentium Centrino processors. This hp spares part # was made for HP Compaq nc6000 Centrino Notebook PC's, HP nc6000 32MB Base Notebook Series and the Compaq Branded nc6000 series with model 20956 notebooks.

Here is some recent news I received on hp motherboard spares #: which is 447805-001 has been upgraded to 440768-001 (I have confirmed this with hp directly) but they are identical to each in every way and just another way for hp Compaq to confuse buyers and make more money I believe.

In case you need a brush up lesson... 440768-001 was the "System board | computer motherboard | Without memory and supports only AMD processor (not included) models - For full-featured laptop PC's."

This hp part is only for Compaq Presario V3200, V3300, V3400 and HP Pavilion dv2200, dv2300, dv2400 notebooks.

Side Note: Both laptop motherboards all use the nVIDIA G6150 GPU integrated graphics with NF430 chipset. I know that the the hp laptop motherboard is extremely popular with computer motherboards and that the hp will soon stop producing 447805-001 fully.

This information will come in very handy if you happen to be a owner of this hp Compaq notebook and in need in a laptop motherboard replacement.
