Help replacing motherboard.

[Ron]

Hello all! Sorry I'm really new into this sorta stuff as in replacing anything for my laptop. Reason I decided to do this is because I found a motherboard for the hp 2133 for a really good price. Now that the part has arrived I don't know what to do.

Would there be any chance anyone of you guys could help me with a step by step on how to replace the motherboard? or even a youtube vid on how to do so. Thanks in advance and hope there is someone that can help me.

OK! So after I carefully followed the instructions on how to replace the Motherboard. I get nothing out of it. The unit doesn't even turn on at all. The battery does charge though.

I brought it to a computer store and all he says is the board. Is this true?

What else can I do to find out it isn't the board or even confirm that the board is messed.

Thanks!

I need to replace my HP mininote 2133 motherboard, it is price is not reasonable for the small device.

For more than 10 years, I used different branded laptop and never got this motherboard problem. Do I must erase HP in my mind?
