Introduction

Using this guide, you can replace the motherboard in your HP Pavilion 14-bk061st laptop.

The motherboard is the central connection between all the components of a computer. A faulty motherboard can lead to the whole computer failing so it is important to keep good care of all the components in your PC.

    • Remove the three 5.7 JIS #1 screws from the bottom of the laptop.

    • Remove the two 6.7mm JIS #1 screws from underneath the feet of the laptop close to the exhaust vent.

  2. 4ISZGc3UuVXcGkce

    • Unclip the back plate using a plastic opening tool.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXhVP0Un... This video helped a little. It is very hard to pry the left or right side away as the manual says. The video shows lifting from the center of the back. This bows the lid and consequently pulls the left and right sides inward slightly. I enhanced this movement by pushing inward from the right and left sides with my thumb while pulling up from the center of the back panel. This popped open the clasps on the right. Lifting the right back corner and pulling to the right, I got the clasps on the left to disengage. Once the clasps on the left and right towards the back came loose, the rest was far less stubborn.

    • Remove the card by pulling it away from the slot.

    Is it possible to put a new WLAN card with better wifi and bluetooth? Or does it need to be the same WLAN card?

    I want to upgrade from bluetooth 4.2 to 5.0.
