HP 6735s motherboard replacement

[Guest]

Hi. I have a HP 6735s laptop and the motherboard is bad. I have found a seller online which sells the motherboard for US$296.00. It is a bit expensive. Here is the link..

I want to ask if there is any other motherboard which can replace the bad board in my laptop. And where can I buy it and how much will it cost? Please advice.

Thanks.

Jax.

Generally speaking, the motherboard that you have found is just about the only one that will fit into the chassis of your laptop. If you were to buy something else, it may physically fit, but things like USB ports and such will not line up. You could spend the $300 or you could simply save up and buy a new laptop or buy a netbook to hold you over until you can afford something up your alley.

Buwish, thank you for giving me advice. The laptop is just a little more than 1 year old. The laptop belongs to a friend. She would not want to buy another new one so fast. I will go ahead and buy the new board and fix it for her. Thanks again.

Might also want to check into the warranty status of the laptop before you make that purchase. Is the warranty only good for 1 year on that unit?

The laptop is roughly 1 year 3 months old. The warranty is 1 year only and I did not opt for extended warranty during the purchase. Warranty has finished so all repairs will have to be paid by me.
