If your HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-dw1025nr is not displaying graphics or is not distributing audio, the laptop's motherboard may be damaged. Use this guide to replace it.
The motherboard is the backbone of a laptop and controls multiple parts within the laptop.
Replacing the motherboard of a laptop is not a common procedure. Most replacements within a laptop are for components that are attached to the motherboard. The motherboard should only need to be replaced in extreme situations where a separate component attached to the motherboard cannot be replaced.
Replacing the motherboard is not a difficult task, but it does require a lot of steps and there will be many small pieces to keep track of. There are various screws and a few loose plastic parts that will come out when exposing the motherboard. This replacement will not require any difficult tasks such as soldering or rewiring.
