Hello, you can replace the mainboard to another MicroATX mainboard. It does not have to be the same mainboard.
I need to know the brand and model of the computer to look up a compatible board for you.
It will probably cost less than what the exact same board from HP would cost.
do you have any questions? let me know.
Please check and see if this is your computer:

thanks, I'll look up a compatible board for you and sent you a link and details.

takes your CPU and your RAM from the old mainboard. Has a build in video card. if you don't have a pci-e slot card.
Should have everything that you need.
As for the old mainboard, you have to contact HP repair and spare parts directly, as far as I know no, unless you contact them directly and they might have a few. but you will not notice the difference in the computer by using another board.
3 year warranty on this mainboard, is much better than what hp would send you with few months or 1 year warranty.
Hp does not make its own motherboards most are made by asus and other makers, these are the same parts that are used in every computer.
There is no change in the performance of your computer by changing to this motherboard.
This mainboard supports the same CPU, that you need to remove from the old mainboard and attach to this one.
The memory is also supported. It takes the 8 GB and up to 16 GB.
You can buy this mainboard almost anywhere in the world or one close to it.
If you where using the old mainboards video card that is build into it on gaming, the performance in 3d games might suffer a little. but for gaming it is best to purchase a separate video card.
I see there is no mini pci-e connector on the new board that is only on the hp board, is something connected to it?
look at this picture:
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs...
the 3 volt battery on the bottom - center of the mainboard. next to it is a small mini pci-e connector probably white, is something attached to it? if there is, then that won't work on the new mainboard.

Thanks. One last question: can I get this MB from HP or they don't sell it?
Thanks!
Roman
will this MB do as much as the original (faulty) one?
I need to be super sure since I live abroad and the computer was bought here - at Best Buy and never worked!; I found that out as soon as I reach Brazil.Now I am back to the US and looking for the right MB.
My concern is if I return to Brazil and this MB is not the right one... (again!).
Thanks for your advise
Roman
