Einleitung

This guide will help you remove and replace the motherboard in the HP Pavilion x360 14m-ba114dx. The motherboard is tasked with taking all of the components of the device and connecting them to create a functioning laptop. The symptoms of a failed motherboard are typically a completely dead system. Other than a dead system, there are not usually any other indicators given by the computer, due to the fact that the motherboard is in control of most of the components. For more information on a faulty motherboard, please visit this page.

Removal of the motherboard is necessary to remove the fan and the DC power jack; if you are having problems with either of these components please consult this troubleshooting page.

Finally, a prerequisite to this guide is removal of the battery. If you notice once the laptop is open that the battery is swollen, remove it with caution. If swollen, do not charge the battery, keep the battery at a stable room temperature, and dispose of it properly at a recycling center. This page will help you deal with a swollen battery. Another important thing is to make sure that you unplug your device from any external power sources and completely power it off before beginning this replacement.

    • Open the laptop, with the display fully extended to 360 degrees so that the screen is on the table.

    • In this orientation, sliding the laptop around may scratch the screen. A blanket or a mat placed under the screen will help to prevent scratching.

    • Using the thinner end of an iFixit Plastic Opening Tool, pry open the keyboard panel from the base of the laptop near the screen hinges.

    • Grasp the keyboard with both hands and gently lift it out of the base.

    • Do not lift the keyboard completely out of the base, as there are ZIF connectors that must be removed first.

    • Using a plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connectors that attach the motherboard to the touchpad and the keyboard. Use the flat end of the Spudger to pop up the cap on top of the connector. The connector will then slide out of place.

    • Repeat this step for all three connectors.

    • Using the flat end of the plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connector attaching the volume button and headphone jack to the motherboard.

    • This ZIF ribbon is glued to the middle of the battery. You do not need to separate this ribbon from the battery in order to remove the battery from the device. You only need to unclip it at both ends.

    • Using the plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connector connecting the power button board to the motherboard. Remove the connector by popping the cap up on top of the connector and sliding it out of its slot.

    • This ZIF ribbon is glued to the middle of the fan and will not come off.

    For all ZIF connectors, be sure to break these down according to my feedback in the screen guide.

    • Using the iFixit Plastic Opening Tool or the plastic Spudger, disconnect the touch screen cable from the motherboard. Flip up the ZIF connector and move the wire away from the connection point.

    • Pull the wire out from its track next to the speaker.

    Note that the its here should be possessive (its) not contraction (it’s). Also, since the component is black and the tool is black, this photo is kind of hard to see what you’re doing. Do you have another angle?

    • Use the Blunt Tweezers to disconnect the Wireless Card Antenna Cables. Start with the cable labeled M2, which is connected to Port #2. To disconnect he cable, grab it on both sides with the tweezers and pull up.

    • Use the Blunt Tweezers to disconnect the Antenna Cable labeled A1, which is connected to Port #1. To disconnect he cable, grab it on both sides with the tweezers and pull up.

    • Using the Blunt Tweezers, unwind the cables from the track to the right of the speaker. The cables are held in place by two black hooks.

    Note that you do not need a comma between labeled and A1 here. Also, you should transfer the red markup to these steps, too, so the user doesn’t have to go back to get that information. Can you be a little clearer about how to pull out the cables?

    • Using the plastic Spudger, remove the ZIF connector that connects the motherboard to the Display Cable. To remove a ZIF connector, use the flat end of the Spudger to flip up the cap on the top. Then the connector should slide out.

    Note capitalization inconsistency on ZIF connector here.

    • Using the curved end of the Halberd Spudger, disconnect the Speaker Cable from the port that connects it to the motherboard by prying it out of the port.

    • Using the same process to disconnect the DC Power Jack Cable from the port that connects it to the motherboard.

    Here, the flipbook seems inconsistent because the tool seems to be connected to the wires, not the white part, in the second part of the shots. Try to combine the two sentences for concision.

    • Using a #1 Phillips-head Screwdriver, remove the ten 5 mm screws that secure the motherboard and fan to the base.

    • Using a #1 Phillips-head Screwdriver, remove the singular 2 mm screw that connects the motherboard to the wireless card.

    The last two shots are disorientating for me. Are they on different parts of the device? I think you could potentially take these shots further out, to give some orientation with the rest of the device.

    • Using the plastic Spudger, gently lift up on the motherboard from the side that has the fan connected to it and remove the motherboard from the base.

    • Ensure that all connections to the motherboard have been disconnected. If they are not, the motherboard could be damaged upon removal.

    For me, the last shot is a little confusing. Can you show you lifting it out, rather than the kind of ta-da step at the end here?

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
