WARNING: The computer should be off (no power running), unplugged and the battery must be removed to prevent electrical shock.

If the motherboard in the HP Pavilion 15-n210dx needs to be replaced, use this guide. The battery, keyboard, and opening up the computer is necessary to get to the motherboard.

Please look over the section of the troubleshooting page that involves the motherboard. Blue screen of death (BSOD) can often be caused by software problems.

A motherboard allows components in the computer to interact with each other. A damaged component due to physical trauma or overheating can cause a computer to fail to function normally or not work at all. In addition, a faulty motherboard can cause a blue screen of death (BSOD). As a result, it should be replaced.

Please have a Y0 screw driver and a metal spudger present before starting the replacement of the motherboard.

Turn over the laptop and remove the single screw using a Tri-point Y0 screwdriver.

Open the laptop and use a spudger gently to get under the keyboard. Loosen the keyboard on all sides and then lift it up.

Schritt 10

Using the Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the screws that become exposed after the removal of the optic drive.

Insert a medal spudger between where the black plastic meets the silver plastic to loosing and eventually separate the two plastic parts.
Slide the spudger along where the two plastics meet to increase the separation. Use your other hand to stabilize the computer.
Avoid using the metal spudger unless for serious prying power. If used incorrectly, the metal spudger may damage the internal components of your device.
