HP Pavilion 15 Motherboard Replacement Cost Pakistan
As one of the highest-volume consumer laptops in Pakistan, the Pavilion 15 also has the most affordable board-level repair options on this list — cheap, plentiful donor boards, and a genuinely large share of “motherboard” complaints that turn out to be a much simpler charging-port or component-level fault. This is also the model where we're most likely to steer you away from a full board swap: given how low Pavilion 15 resale values run, a board replacement can easily approach or exceed what the laptop is actually worth.
Pricing in Pakistan: chip-level repair runs Rs. 4,500 – 13,000, a tested donor board runs Rs. 16,000 – 24,000, and a genuine HP board sourced through distributor channels runs Rs. 26,000 – 34,000. Given a working Pavilion 15 typically sells for Rs. 45,000-65,000 used, even a donor-board swap is worth doing in most cases — but if your unit also has other simultaneous faults, we'll tell you honestly when buying a replacement makes more sense than repairing.
Cost breakdown
chipLevelRepair
- price
- Rs. 4,500 – 13,000
- notes
- Covers charging-port re-soldering, USB port faults, and general component-level no-power diagnosis. Given this model's low resale value, this is almost always the right call before considering a board swap.
donorBoard
- price
- Rs. 16,000 – 24,000
- notes
- A tested, working board pulled from a donor Pavilion 15, matched to your exact CPU generation (Intel or AMD Ryzen 15s variants). One of the most affordable full board swaps on our price list given how common this laptop is.
oemNew
- price
- Rs. 26,000 – 34,000
- notes
- Genuine HP board sourced through distributor channels. Given a used Pavilion 15 costs roughly the same or less, we rarely recommend this tier and will say so directly rather than upsell it.
labour
Included in the price above. Bench time: 1-3 working days for chip-level work; 1-2 days for a donor board swap given how readily available this part is.
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
- ▲Charging only works if the cable is held at a specific angle, or not at all — worn charging port solder joint
- ▲No power at all — no LEDs, no fan spin, no response on a known-good charger
- ▲Black screen at boot with no HP logo, no beep codes, confirmed via an external monitor
- ▲The laptop powers on briefly then shuts off repeatedly, sometimes with a fan spike right before shutdown
- ▲Visible corrosion, a burnt smell, or discolouration on the board after a spill — common on this model given how often it's used for food and drinks nearby
Turnaround time
Walk-in
Free diagnosis same-day, but repair itself is bench work — charging-port and component-level fixes typically take 1-3 working days; donor board swaps 1-2 days given how plentiful this part is.
Courier from other cities
8-13 working days round-trip from Lahore, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Sargodha; 10-17 working days from Karachi, Multan, Peshawar, Hyderabad, Abbottabad or Bahawalpur; 12-20 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 or HDD?
No — Pavilion 15 storage is a separate removable module (SATA SSD, NVMe, or HDD depending on configuration). A chip-level repair or full board swap doesn't touch your files; we move the drive across during the same visit and everything carries over untouched.
My charger only works at a certain angle — is that the motherboard?
Almost certainly yes — a worn charging-port solder joint, extremely common on the Pavilion 15 given how often the charger gets tugged at an angle in daily home or student use. This is a Rs. 4,500-7,000 chip-level re-solder, not a full board replacement, and it's the single most frequent “motherboard” complaint we see on this model.
Is it actually worth replacing the Pavilion 15's motherboard, or should I just sell it?
For chip-level faults, yes, easily — Rs. 4,500-13,000 against a Rs. 45,000-65,000 used resale value is straightforward. A full board swap is a closer call: at Rs. 16,000-34,000, you're spending up to half the laptop's resale value, so if the unit has other simultaneous faults (cracked screen, dead battery, worn keyboard), selling it for parts and buying a working replacement may genuinely be the smarter move — we'll tell you honestly which applies to your unit.
Does this repair void any remaining HP warranty?
Most Pavilion 15 units reaching our workshop are past HP's original 1-year consumer warranty by the time a motherboard fault appears. If yours is a recent purchase still under warranty, check status at hp.com/support with your serial number before using third-party repair. Otherwise our own 15-day workmanship warranty applies.
Can spilled liquid on the keyboard really kill the motherboard?
Yes, and it's one of the most common causes of Pavilion 15 board failure we see. Liquid that reaches the keyboard deck can travel through to the board underneath and cause corrosion on solder joints and connectors over days or weeks, even if the laptop seemed to work fine right after the spill. If you've had a recent spill and are now seeing intermittent faults, bring it in quickly — corrosion gets worse, not better, with time.
