May I ask where you purchased the replacement motherboard?

@JJay083

In this instance, I dealt with a trusted seller through ebay to receive a used board. There are many folks who strip working parts from toss-aways and resell them. Look for sellers who give a lot of information about the item and provide guarantees in the event of receiving a dead part or one that fails your stress testing.

New parts can usually be ordered direct from the manufacturer or from online vendors. I recommend Newegg for interchangeable parts.

Hi Jon, i was wondering if you could help me out. Ive taken apart my Hp Pavilion Dv2000, i think its a slighty older version then the one you are working on in the video. I'm now putting it back together, i just dusted it out, because it wouldn't turn on. Do you think its power button that is toast or the heat sink & fan?
