The HP ProBook 450 G6 motherboard is now available at Mascom International for KSh 17,500, a brand-new replacement system board carrying a soldered 8th-generation quad-core Intel Core i7-8565U processor and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX130 graphics chip with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory. This is the full logic board for the 15.6-inch ProBook 450 G6 — the part that fails when a laptop stops powering on, loses its ports, or shuts down under load. Mascom International keeps the HP ProBook 450 G6 motherboard at our Nairobi CBD shop, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The board reaches every county, and you can collect it over the counter.
This HP ProBook 450 G6 motherboard is built for computer repair technicians, IT support teams, and laptop repair shops across Kenya who keep 15.6-inch business machines running rather than scrapping them. The 450 G6 with its discrete MX130 chip suits users doing light photo editing, CAD viewing, and dual-monitor office work, so a dead board means real downtime for the owner. When a 450 G6 shows no display, refuses to charge, or shuts down at random from a faulty board, a full board swap restores it at a fraction of a new-laptop price. Technicians in Westlands, Upper Hill, and Nairobi CBD offices running ProBook fleets rely on board-level repair to stretch hardware they already own.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only complete laptops, Mascom International keeps board-level spares like the HP ProBook 450 G6 motherboard ready for technicians who repair instead of replace. Every board is bench-tested for power-on and video output before it leaves us, so you fit a part already confirmed to work. Repair shops across Nairobi tell us a tested board cuts turnaround, because they skip the gamble of untested online listings. Visit our Kimathi Street store to inspect the HP ProBook 450 G6 motherboard in person, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the HP ProBook 450 G6 motherboard
Is this HP ProBook 450 G6 motherboard genuine, and does it fit only the 450 G6?
Yes. This is a genuine 450 G6 system board, the same logic board HP fitted at the factory. It is made for the 15.6-inch ProBook 450 G6 chassis and does not fit the smaller ProBook 440 G6 or the earlier 450 G5. The mounting points, ribbon sockets, and port cutouts match the 450 G6 exactly. Before ordering, check that the label on your laptop's underside reads ProBook 450 G6 so the board drops straight into your existing case.
Which processor and graphics chip sit on this board?
This board carries the 8th-generation quad-core Core i7-8565U from Intel's Whiskey Lake family, paired with a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX130 holding 2GB of its own GDDR5 memory. Both chips are soldered to the board and are not removable. The i7-8565U runs four cores and eight threads with 8MB cache, while the MX130 speeds up light photo work and dual-screen output. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 also on the board takes over on battery, so you keep both graphics paths after the swap.
Will this board fix a 450 G6 that will not power on?
Often, yes but only when the board itself is the fault. A 450 G6 that shows no lights, no fan spin, and no display frequently traces to a dead 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. Once a technician confirms the board is gone, this part restores power, video, ports, and charging together. We can walk you through basic checks over WhatsApp first.
Does the motherboard include RAM, storage, or the fitted processor and graphics?
The Core i7-8565U processor and the NVIDIA MX130 graphics chip are permanently soldered to the board and included in the price. RAM and storage are not the 450 G6 uses two DDR4-2400 memory slots plus an M.2 slot and a 2.5-inch bay, and you move those parts across from your old board. This keeps the price at KSh 17,500 and lets you reuse working memory and drives. The CMOS battery and standard onboard chips arrive fitted.
Can I install this board myself, or do I need a technician?
This is a technician-level job, not a plug-in part. Swapping a 450 G6 board means opening the base, disconnecting the display, keyboard, battery, and antenna cables, then moving the heatsink, RAM, and drives across. A skilled repair bench finishes it in about an hour. If you are not used to working inside a laptop, book a technician, because a loose cable or missed screw can undo the repair. Mascom International can refer Nairobi customers to trusted benches for fitting.
Is the HP ProBook 450 G6 board tested before you sell it?
Yes. Every 450 G6 board we sell is bench-tested for power-on and video output before it reaches you, so you fit a part already confirmed to run. Untested boards sold cheaply online waste repair time, because a technician can spend an hour fitting a board that never stood a chance. Our testing removes that risk. If a tested board still fails on your bench inside the warranty window, we replace it, checked against your original purchase.
How does buying this board compare to buying a used 450 G6 laptop?
Buying the board makes sense when the rest of your 450 G6 is sound — good screen, keyboard, hinges, and casing — and only the board has failed. At KSh 17,500 you keep your existing chassis, RAM, drives, and the Windows licence tied to that machine. A used complete 450 G6 costs more and forces a fresh setup and data move. If your laptop also has a cracked screen or worn keyboard, a full used unit may suit better. We stock both.
What warranty and delivery come with the 450 G6 board?
The board carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty on board functionality, set out in full below. Pay-on-arrival delivery reaches all 47 counties: 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 at our Kimathi Street shop and have our team confirm it matches your laptop before you pay.
