I was asked to do this job, and I was told the guy had it checked out by HP and that they said it was just the mobo. I told him that if the mobo was fried, basically the CPU and everything else may be fried. He said HP said everything was fine (cpu etc)
I am confident I can install a motherboard. But if it involves much more than removing the cpu from the socket and installing it into the new motherboard I'm not really going to get anywhere....The graphics chip would have to be transferred would it not?
My experience with laptops is working with parts that work and installing hard drives, ram etc. I am experienced in desktop PC's and build them constantly for people but due to laptops being such a pain to find parts I rarely touch them.
Should I bother or is this just a job asking for trouble? Basically there seems to be a high chance his new motherboard will not have everything I need on board, ..unless they come like that and all I have to do is put a CPU back on the motherboard.
This isn't my forte...sorry for the length of the post.
