This HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard is built for computer repair technicians, IT support teams, and laptop refurbishing shops across Kenya who keep business machines running instead of replacing them. When an 830 G5 suffers a dead board no display, no charging response, or random shutdowns traced to a faulty component a full board swap brings the machine back at a fraction of a new-laptop cost. IT departments in Westlands, Upper Hill, and Nairobi CBD offices that standardised on EliteBook fleets rely on board-level repair to extend hardware they already own.

Common Questions About the HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard
Is this HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard genuine and does it fit only the 830 G5?
Yes. This is a genuine 830 G5 system board, the same logic board HP fitted to the 830 G5 at the factory. It is made specifically for the 830 G5 chassis and is not cross-compatible with the larger 840 G5 or the earlier 830 G4. The mounting points, ribbon connectors, and port layout match the 830 G5 exactly. Before buying, confirm your laptop's model label on the underside reads EliteBook 830 G5 so the board drops straight into your existing case.
What processor is on this 830 G5 board the i7-8550U or the i7-8650U?
The board carries an 8th-generation quad-core Core i7 from Intel's Kaby Lake Refresh family, either the i7-8550U or the vPro-enabled i7-8650U. Both are four-core, eight-thread chips with 8 MB cache and Intel UHD Graphics 620, soldered directly to the board and not removable. The i7-8650U adds Intel vPro remote management, which many corporate IT fleets require. Tell us your original CPU when ordering and we match it, so a vPro machine stays vPro after the repair.
Will this board work if my EliteBook 830 G5 will not power on?
Often, yes but only if the board itself is the fault. A dead 830 G5 that shows no lights, no fan, and no display frequently traces to a failed system board, and a full swap brings it back. First rule out the charger, battery, and RAM, since those mimic board failure and cost far less to replace. If a technician confirms the board is dead, this replacement restores power, video, ports, and charging in one part. We can talk you through basic diagnosis over WhatsApp before you buy.
Does the motherboard come with RAM, storage, or the processor fitted?
The processor and Intel UHD Graphics 620 are permanently soldered to the board and included. RAM and storage are not the 830 G5 uses two removable DDR4 memory slots and a separate M.2 SSD, which you move across from your old board or fit fresh. This keeps the board affordable and lets you reuse working memory and drives. The CMOS battery and standard onboard chips arrive fitted. You supply the RAM sticks, SSD, and the laptop's existing screen, keyboard, and casing.
Can a non-technician install this, or do I need a repair shop?
This is a technician-level repair, not a plug-in part. Replacing an 830 G5 board means opening the base, disconnecting the display, keyboard, battery, and antenna cables, and transferring the heatsink, RAM, and SSD. A competent repair shop handles it in under an hour. If you are not comfortable working inside a laptop chassis, book a technician a wrong cable seat or a missed screw can undo the fix. Mascom International can point Nairobi customers to trusted repair benches if you need fitting done.
Is the HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard tested before it is sold?
Yes. Every board we sell is bench-tested for power-on and video output before it reaches you, so you fit a part already confirmed working. Untested boards sold cheaply online are a common cause of wasted repair time, because a technician invests an hour fitting a board that never had a chance of working. Our testing removes that risk. If a tested board still fails on your bench within the warranty window, we replace it, verified against your original purchase.
How does buying this board compare to buying a used 830 G5 laptop?
Buying the board makes sense when the rest of your 830 G5 is sound — good screen, keyboard, hinges, and casing — and only the board has failed. At KSh 18,500 you keep your existing chassis, RAM, SSD, and the Windows licence tied to that machine. A used complete 830 G5 costs more and forces you to migrate data and set up afresh. If your laptop has other damage such as a cracked screen or worn keyboard, a full used unit may be the better buy. We stock both.
What warranty and delivery come with the 830 G5 motherboard?
The board carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty on board functionality, detailed in full below. Delivery reaches all 47 counties on pay-on-arrival terms: same day within Nairobi and its environs, next business day to major towns, and 2-3 business days to Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit, Lamu, Tana River, and Turkana. You can also collect the board over the counter at our Kimathi Street shop and have a technician inspect it on the spot before you pay.
