If your HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 laptop is constantly malfunctioning by not turning on, randomly shutting down, or notice it's not detecting components and ports, it's time to replace the motherboard.
A motherboard houses the CPU, handles power distribution, provides input/output ports, controls data flow, and connects RAM, storage, GPU, and many other parts.
Before beginning, make sure to power off the device and disconnect from any power source.

Hi! I think you should also mention that there is a sim-card slot dummy holding a motherbord, you can not lift it when a holder or a dummy is inside. it should be poked out with a pincer through the hole one the side of a motherboard above the slot itself (it do not eject on a spring like a normal sim card holder)
