HP EliteBook 840 G9 Motherboard Replacement Cost Pakistan
The 840 G9's redesigned, slimmer chassis (12th-gen Intel, 2022) means its board is more densely packed than the G5-G8 generation before it, and donor boards are still building up in local supply the way the older generation's have over years of higher volume. Most board-level faults we see are USB-C charging controller failures or heat-related component wear rather than sudden catastrophic failure, since these units are still relatively young.
Pricing in Pakistan: chip-level repair runs Rs. 7,000 – 19,000, a tested donor board runs Rs. 24,000 – 34,000, and a genuine HP board sourced to order runs Rs. 36,000 – 46,000 — a step up from the older G8 generation across every tier, reflecting both the newer part costs and lower current supply volume in the Lahore market. We confirm your exact generation via the base sticker or serial number before ordering, since a G8 board's connector layout won't fit a G9.
Cost breakdown
chipLevelRepair
- price
- Rs. 7,000 – 19,000
- notes
- Covers USB-C power-delivery faults, component-level no-power diagnosis, and spill-damage cleanup on the G9's more densely packed board. We attempt this first given how much more a full board swap costs on this newer generation.
donorBoard
- price
- Rs. 24,000 – 34,000
- notes
- A tested, working board pulled from a donor 840 G9, matched to your exact CPU configuration. Sourcing can take slightly longer than for G8 boards given this generation is newer and less standardised in the local aftermarket.
oemNew
- price
- Rs. 36,000 – 46,000
- notes
- Genuine HP board sourced through distributor channels, matched to your exact Service Tag/configuration. The safer choice while local G9 board supply is still building up.
labour
Included in the price above. Bench time: 1-4 working days for chip-level work; donor/new board swaps typically 2-3 days given lower current local supply for this generation.
warranty
15-day workmanship warranty plus a 30-day warranty on any component we fit. Donor boards carry a 15-day workmanship warranty with condition disclosed before you approve.
Signs your motherboard needs replacement
- ▲No charging over USB-C with a known-good charger and cable, even though the port looks physically fine
- ▲No power at all — no LEDs, no fan spin, no response even on external power
- ▲Black screen at boot with no HP logo and no diagnostic beep/LED pattern, confirmed via an external monitor
- ▲HP Support Assistant's hardware scan reports a system board or component failure
- ▲The base near the trackpad or keyboard deck runs unusually hot even at idle, or the fan cycles constantly under light load
Turnaround time
Walk-in
Free diagnosis same-day, but repair itself is bench work — component-level fixes typically take 1-4 working days; donor or new board swaps 2-3 days given this generation's lower current local supply.
Courier from other cities
9-15 working days round-trip from Lahore, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Sargodha; 11-19 working days from Karachi, Multan, Peshawar, Hyderabad, Abbottabad or Bahawalpur; 13-22 working days from Quetta or Sukkur. That covers courier there, free diagnosis within 24-48 hours of arrival, the board repair, and courier back — we confirm your exact date on WhatsApp once diagnosis is done.
Frequently asked
Will replacing the motherboard affect the data on my SSD?
No — the 840 G9's NVMe SSD is a separate removable module with no board-level pairing. A chip-level repair or full board swap doesn't touch your data; we transfer your drive across during the same visit and your Windows installation carries over untouched.
Will a G8 board fit my G9, or vice versa?
No — HP changed both the connector layout and the internal design as part of the G9's redesign, so the two generations are not interchangeable. We always confirm your exact generation via the base sticker or serial number before sourcing a replacement board, from us or anywhere else.
Chip-level repair vs board swap — which should I choose?
Chip-level repair first, whenever the fault is viable to fix that way — it's typically a third to a half the cost of a donor board and carries no data risk either way. We only recommend a board swap once diagnosis confirms the damage is too extensive for component-level repair.
Does this repair void any remaining HP warranty?
If your 840 G9 is a recent purchase still under HP's standard business warranty (commonly 3 years on-site), check coverage via HP Support Assistant or hp.com/support with your serial number before using third-party repair to keep that coverage intact. If it's already lapsed, our own 15-day workmanship warranty applies.
Is it worth fixing a relatively new 840 G9's motherboard?
Yes, in almost every case — a 12th-gen Intel business laptop has a long useful life ahead, and even our full board-swap range (up to Rs. 46,000) is a reasonable fraction of the laptop's current value. Chip-level repair at Rs. 7,000-19,000 is the clear first move; we confirm exact fault and cost honestly at free diagnosis before you commit to anything larger.
