I am looking for a replacement motherboard for the one that just went kerpluie in my
HP Pavilion a6300f
Intel Dual-core E2180
2048 MB RAM
SATA Hard Drive
SATA DVD Drive
Memory Card Readers
I want to replace the mobo with one that will hopefully NOT need new drivers or a HD wipe. I’ve not replaced motherboards before but in reading online, some say you have to wipe the Hard Drive because the new mobo will reject it if it’s pre-installed with an OS. Is this true?
The current motherboard appears to be a FoxConn model with the number N15235 imprinted on it.
It has 2 memory slots, 4 SATA ports, and audio, network, VGA and DVI.
I was looking at this one on NewEgg. Do you think it is comparable?
