This guide will instruct you on how to safely remove and replace the motherboard in your HP Elitebook x360 830 G6. Removing your motherboard is a significant repair to your laptop and requires careful maneuvering of all parts included to ensure nothing gets broken. Keep in mind that the connections between certain parts and the motherboard are fragile. Excessive force to remove, or replace, any part should not be needed. If you find yourself straining to remove, or replace, a part, please review the steps to ensure you are doing it correctly. Proper storage of every part and screw is extremely important when completing this guide. When taking any hardware off of the motherboard, place it somewhere safe as you will need to install it onto your new motherboard.
