Replacing a laptop's motherboard can cause irreversible damage to the device, and should be a last resort. Some professionals prefer to salvage any working components and replace the whole machine, since this saves time and increases the likelihood of retaining working parts. The construction of the HP Envy 4-1105 makes this procedure particularly inconvenient, since it is impossible to get at the motherboard without handling many other, delicate components. | | However, if you are confident that a new motherboard will improve your laptop's performance, and comfortable with the possibility that you will need to replace the entire laptop if the motherboard replacement doesn't work out, this guide can help. | | For best results, familiarize yourself in advance with the appearance of your laptop's components, consult a reference manual for safe handling of electronics, and make sure your workspacework space is secure, so any components you leave out will not be disturbed. |
