I have an HP Pavillion XL753 that the motherboard went out on, and I'd like to get a new one. All I know about the original is that it's and Intel Celeron, socket 370, chipset 810. What will work with it? Thanks for the help.

Three practical paths to fix this without guessing at compatibility: repair the damaged video port, install a discrete video card to bypass the onboard video, or source the exact OEM replacement board. is right that HP support can supply the exact part, and is also right that OEM parts often carry a heavy markup — so it pays to identify the exact board/part number before buying.

How to identify the correct board: locate the system/service tag on the case (use that with HP support or a service manual lookup), then open the case and photograph the motherboard silk‑screen. Look for printed markings like “P/N”, “SPARE”, “FRU” or a long alphanumeric PCB code near the memory, CPU, or PCI area — those are the seller/searchable part numbers. Post a clear photo of the silk‑screen and the case service tag when asking sellers or listing on eBay; that makes matching a replacement much easier.

Repair and workaround tips: if only the VGA connector tore off it can sometimes be replaced or re‑soldered by someone comfortable with through‑hole soldering — disconnect power, ground yourself, and take photos before removing parts. If you have a working PCI/AGP slot, a discrete video card is the quickest, least risky fix and avoids motherboard replacement. If replacing the whole board, confirm mounting hole positions and I/O shield fit; OEM boards commonly use standard power plugs but proprietary front‑panel and I/O layouts can prevent a straight drop‑in swap.

Next steps: check with about the spare board offer, post photos of the board silk‑screen and the case service tag here, or search salvage/auction listings by the part numbers you find. That will let you compare price and effort for repair vs replacing the whole unit.

If you want a direct replacement you can contact hp about it and you can buy a new one, im not sure of the exact model, but this is important to get the exact one becuase im pretty sure with the older hp's that you will not beable to stick a different motherboard in there because they will not fit in the case.

However are you sure that your motherboard went out? and its not your powersupply that went out? if you give some feedback maybe we could help you out :lol:

Yeh, it's the board. The computer sat on the floor against the wall and the monitor cable got shoved into the computer, so basically the monitor connection broke off. How would I go about finding the model number? I've scoured that thing for anything I though that might have been one and got nothing.

personally i wouldnt try and find something from newegg or tigerdirect that would work because it most likely not work on your hp. In that regards, send an email to hp's support and explain your problem to them being sure to specify the model number of your computer and they should give you a price quote on a new motherboard. My guess is it will not be that expensive becuase it is of age...maybe $50. If you really want the model number, it could be printed somewhere on the motherboard itself where you can see it with plain eyes...but i would contact hp and they will keep you straight.

Don't get a motherboard from HP, the mark up is ridiculous, considering that they purchase the same component from a 3rd party vendor that you can buy from.
(At least thats the case here in NZ).
