Introduction

In this guide, we are going to use words and photos to show the steps of replacing the motherboard.

 If your HP Chromebook14 G5 is not able to start up or work normally, you most likely have a dead motherboard, which requires replacement.

The motherboard itself is a printed circuit board that allows the CPU, RAM, and all other computer hardware components to communicate with each other.

Small parts can cause danger. If some small part is swollen,  be sure to take appropriate precautions as soon as possible.

Make sure to power down your device before you begin.
