The HP EliteBook 830 G5 replacement motherboard is now available at Mascom International for KSh 13,500, carrying a soldered 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor with full support for DDR4 memory and M.2 storage. This is a brand-new genuine HP system board built for the 13.3-inch EliteBook 830 G5, sold at our Old Mutual Building shop, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. When the original board on an HP EliteBook 830 G5 dies from a power surge, a liquid spill, or a failed chipset, this part returns the laptop to full working order. Mascom International keeps it ready for same-day collection or countrywide dispatch.
Laptop repair technicians, corporate IT teams, and small-business owners across Kenya rely on the HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard to revive machines that would otherwise be scrapped. A working 830 G5 chassis, screen, and keyboard still hold real value, so replacing a failed board costs far less than buying a new business laptop. Computer shops along Luthuli Avenue and IT support desks in Westlands and Upper Hill order this board to cut client downtime. Students at the University of Nairobi and Strathmore who bought used EliteBooks also use it to bring a dead unit back without losing coursework stored on the existing SSD.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock untested clone boards, Mascom International supplies genuine HP EliteBook 830 G5 system boards checked before sale. Technicians consistently report that a Mascom-supplied board posts on first power-up and reads the original RAM and SSD without extra configuration. Our Nairobi CBD counter also fits the board for customers who prefer a tested, ready-to-use laptop rather than a bare part. Visit Mascom International to confirm the exact 830 G5 variant before purchase, pay through M-Pesa or on delivery, and collect the same day within Nairobi or receive it countrywide.
Common Questions About the HP EliteBook 830 G5 Motherboard
Will this motherboard fit my exact HP EliteBook 830 G5?
Yes, provided your laptop is a genuine HP EliteBook 830 G5 running a 7th-generation Intel Core i5. This board matches the 13.3-inch 830 G5 chassis, its mounting points, and its ribbon connectors. HP built the 830 G5 with both 7th and 8th generation processors, so the generation must match — an 8th-gen 830 G5 needs a different board. Bring your laptop or its serial number to our Kimathi Street counter and Mascom International confirms the exact fitment before you pay a shilling.
Does the board come with the Intel Core i5 processor already fitted?
Yes. The 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor is soldered directly onto the HP EliteBook 830 G5 board and cannot be removed or upgraded later. The CPU therefore arrives already fitted and tested, with no separate processor to buy. Its built-in Intel HD Graphics 620 handles the display output as well. This soldered layout keeps the board slim enough for the 13.3-inch 830 G5 shell, which is why a matching replacement board, rather than a CPU swap, is the correct repair.
Is this a genuine HP part or a copied clone board?
This is a genuine HP EliteBook 830 G5 system board, not a copied or re-soldered clone. Mascom International sources original HP parts and checks each board before sale, so it carries the correct HP firmware and passes power-on testing. Clone or heavily reworked boards often fail to hold a charge, drop USB ports, or refuse BIOS updates. Buying the correct HP part from a registered Nairobi store protects the rest of your 830 G5 from repeat faults and wasted repair labour.
What is not included do I need my own RAM, SSD, and battery?
The board ships as the core part with its soldered processor. It does not include RAM, an M.2 SSD, a wireless card, or a battery, because those parts transfer directly from your existing HP EliteBook 830 G5. Reusing your own SSD keeps your Windows installation, files, and coursework intact. If any of those parts are also faulty, Mascom International stocks compatible DDR4 memory, M.2 drives, and 830 G5 batteries separately, and our technicians can add them during fitting.
Can Mascom International install the motherboard for me?
Yes. Mascom International fits the HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard in-store at our Kimathi Street counter for customers who want a tested, ready-to-use laptop instead of a bare board. Our technicians move over your RAM, SSD, wireless card, and battery, apply fresh thermal paste, and confirm the laptop boots, charges, and reads all ports before you leave. If you prefer your own technician, the board still arrives checked, so any competent repair shop in Nairobi can complete the swap.
Why replace the motherboard instead of buying a new laptop?
Because a single board costs KSh 13,500, while a replacement business laptop of similar standing runs many times that. The HP EliteBook 830 G5 screen, aluminium chassis, keyboard, and SSD usually outlast the board, so replacing only the failed part restores a full working laptop at a fraction of the cost. For IT teams managing several 830 G5 units, keeping a spare board on hand also cuts staff downtime when one machine dies mid-project.
What usually causes an HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard to fail?
Most 830 G5 board failures trace back to power problems, liquid spills, or overheating. Kenya's frequent power surges and cheap unregulated chargers can damage the charging circuit, while dust build-up in the fan raises temperatures until the chipset fails. Liquid reaching the board shorts components directly. A dead board usually shows as no power, no display, random shutdowns, or a laptop that lights up but never reaches the HP logo. This replacement clears those board-level faults.
How do I pay and receive the board in Kenya?
Pay by M-Pesa, card, or cash at our Nairobi CBD store, then collect the HP EliteBook 830 G5 motherboard the same day. For orders outside Nairobi, Mascom International dispatches countrywide with pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the part and pay only when it reaches you. Nairobi and its environs get same-day delivery, and major towns receive it the next business day. Call or WhatsApp +254 708 852 521 to confirm stock and your exact 830 G5 variant first.
Technical Specifications
Onboard Processor and Graphics
- Carries a soldered 7th-generation Intel Core i5 (Kaby Lake U-series), so the processor is fixed and needs no separate purchase.
- Dual-core, four-thread U-series design runs at a 15W power draw, keeping heat low for the slim 13.3-inch chassis.
- Built-in Intel HD Graphics 620 drives the internal panel and external HDMI output without a separate graphics chip.
- i5-7300U versions add Intel vPro, giving corporate IT teams remote management and hardware-level security controls.
- Because the CPU is soldered, a matching board is the only correct fix — the chip cannot be reused elsewhere.
Memory Support and Slots
- Provides two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots supporting 2400 MHz modules for dual-channel operation.
- Handles up to 32GB total RAM, enough for heavy multitasking, virtual machines, and large accounting spreadsheets.
- Accepts standard laptop DDR4 memory, so your existing 830 G5 sticks transfer straight across.
- Dual-channel speed needs matched modules in both slots for the fastest memory bandwidth.
- Open slots let you raise capacity later, useful for developers and accountants running heavy software.
- Memory is not soldered, so a RAM fault is fixed by swapping sticks, not the whole board.
Storage and Expansion Interfaces
- Includes an M.2 2280 slot for either SATA or PCIe NVMe solid-state drives.
- NVMe support allows fast boot and file transfer when paired with a compatible M.2 SSD.
- Your existing SSD moves to the new board, keeping Windows, programs, and files exactly as they were.
- A separate M.2 slot holds the wireless card, keeping Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on one tidy module.
- An optional WWAN header supports a mobile-data card for field staff needing Safaricom or Airtel data on the move.
- No 2.5-inch drive bay exists on this thin model, so all storage stays on the M.2 slot.
Ports, Connectors, and Wireless Headers
- Supplies the wiring for two USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 ports used by external drives, mice, and keyboards.
- Provides a USB-C port for charging and data on supported 830 G5 configurations.
- Carries an HDMI output for connecting the 830 G5 to office monitors and projectors.
- Includes the RJ-45 Ethernet connection for stable wired networks in the office.
- Routes the combined headphone and microphone jack used for calls and audio.
- Feeds the keyboard, trackpad, fingerprint reader, and battery through their original ribbon connectors.
Model Fitment and Compatibility
- Designed only for the HP EliteBook 830 G5, the 13.3-inch business model, not the larger 840 or 850 G5.
- Matches 7th-generation 830 G5 units; an 8th-generation 830 G5 requires its own dedicated board.
- Mounting holes and connector positions line up with the original 830 G5 chassis for a direct fit.
- Works with the original 830 G5 heatsink and fan, which transfer across during fitting.
- Not compatible with the earlier EliteBook 820 G4 or the later 830 G6, despite similar sizing.
- Confirm your model number and serial with Mascom International before ordering to guarantee an exact match.
Board Condition, Fitting, and Testing
- Supplied as a brand-new genuine HP board, power-on tested before it leaves our store.
- Each board is checked for correct BIOS response, charging, and port function ahead of sale.
- In-store fitting includes thermal-paste renewal for steady temperatures in Kenya's warm climate.
- Handled with anti-static care to protect the sensitive chipset during transport and installation.
- Ships in protective packaging suited to countrywide courier delivery across all 47 counties.
- A trained technician completes the swap in under an hour using a standard laptop-repair toolkit.
