DV6000 - compatible motherboard
Hi, I have a question about finding a replacing a motherboard for an HP DV6105US laptop. I need a replacement mother board for my friends laptop. He has a DV6105US, Part No: RG253UA. I put that part number in HP’s partsurfer web page (http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=RG253UA) and it says the original motherboard is part number 431363-001 but it is no longer available for purchase so it says to order part number 443776-001 as a replacement.
Now I found a real good deal on a different motherboard, the part number is 433280-001 I can get a brand new one for around $43 (including shipping) from ebay. I went to a few websites (http://www.getpartsonline.com/433280-001.html is one of the sites), and they say the board is compatible with that model. So I was wondering what the difference is between this part number (433280-001) and the recommended part number (443776-001). I know sometimes the DV6000 series laptops overheat, so would the 433280-001 be more susceptible to this issue since it is not the suggested part number to use (although its compatible)?

I am very sorry for not responding sooner, but would like to award DavisMcCarn 400 points for such a complete answer, and award user Wakeup 100 points. Mods- please submit it that way or allow me to submit it that way, again sorry for taking so long to close this one out.
DavisMcCarn - I actually did rework that board (the original problem was no wifi) and the repair lasted just about as long as yours did, about 2 months before it failed again. I have not learned reballing yet but plan to do so soon! I had no idea about featured and defeatured boards and components but it maks sence because I see lots of times on boards that components are not installed allthough the boards have fitting marks on them (for the components such as usb, ect).
