You can contact HP customer support at 1 800-474-6836 to get a replacement motherboard.

They will ask you for the model number and serial number of your pc. An option you have is to simply order the motherboard and replace it yourself or send the system back to HP to have it fixed.

You could also purchase another motherboard from a pc company that sells individual parts. The motherboard doesn't necessarily have to be the same as the one you're replacing.

The advantage of replacing the motherboard with one of the exact same type is that your hard drive already contains all of the drivers specific to your motherboard so you shouldn't run into any problems when you replace the motherboard and turn it on.

If you use a different type of motherboard all together, you'll more than likely have to re-install your operating system.

Be sure to check the other components in your system to make sure they haven't been damaged by the water also.
