[SOAB]

so i think my motherboard on my HP laptop shit the bed. how easy is this to change out? something i could tackle on my own or should i let a pro do it for me?

anyone here willing to help out for some compensation?

^ you should find out how much it is for a new one (if you haven't already done that)

When I cooked my old dell I got a new laptop for $200 more than a new motherboard.
