crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

This replacement guide is for the motherboard of the HP Envy x360 m6-w103dx. All you need to complete this guide is a plastic opening tool, a #0 Phillips screwdriver, and an anti-static wrist strap.

Wear the anti-static wrist strap and attach it to a metal surface to avoid damaging sensitive electrical components. Make sure the computer is unplugged and powered off before touching any internal parts.

The motherboard isn’t a hazardous component to handle, but it is connected to many critical parts of the computer and must be removed with care.
