Use this guide to aid in the removal and replacement of the motherboard to any HP Pavilion x360 14m-cd0005dx laptop. Replace the motherboard if the laptop experiences frequent Blue Screen of Death errors for no other discernible cause. For more information as to whether the motherboard should be replaced, look at this troubleshooting guide.
The motherboard is an essential part of any laptop. When replacing the motherboard, a large amount of device software will need to be re-downloaded or reinstalled. If the motherboard needs to be replaced but isn’t, the system may shut down without warning and fail to start again. The motherboard is especially vulnerable to damage from static electricity, so be sure to wear an anti-static wrist strap (like the one here) to reduce the risk of harm to the device's components.
