<p>Truthfully, you could get a new motherboard for under $100, however, most likely it doesn’t even need a new motherboard, instead there’s probably capacitor plague or something similar(which is easily fixed). Since it is an HP I’m pretty sure that it is just a simple motherboard problem that could be fixed easily. I would reccomend taking it to any place, besides the geek squad, and ask them to fix it. It should just require some soldering.</p>
