441097-001 HP Pavilion tx1000 Series FF AMD Laptop Motherboard
The HP tx1000 tablet PC series was a huge success for the company and was second in all time sales right behind the pavilion notebook lineup?
Lately many HP tablet tx series owners are having issues with the computers GPU assembly which overheats due to a bad heatsink connection cause almost no thermal grease contact between the motherboard and video graphics processor.
To put it in easy terms, when this happens it basically causing your laptop motherboard to short circuit rendering your PC useless. The only fix is to buy and replace the whole motherboard itself with the updated/revised tablet PC system board which fixes the overheating problem.
Although this problem should of been looked into and fixed by HP much sooner than it actually was... HP does not cover this under warranty anymore now putting people in a predicament on if it's worth the cost to fix the motherboard or just purchase a new laptop.
I want everyone to know that you can buy and replace the faulty mainboard yourself with the updated HP spares PN: 441097-001 (REV. 31TT8MB0014) for approximately $150 through eBay for example. *If you call Hewlett-Packard up they will try to sell you the part for $469.95 and that doesn't include them installing it for you which is just outrageous and unacceptable in my eyes.
All you need to do is order the correct part number 441097-001 off of eBay which sell for about $150 like I mentioned before. There are so many guides and manuals online showing you step by step on how to remove your old motherboard and install the new one - the process is not very difficult at all, even for the novice user.
The details on the revised motherboard are stated by the manufacture as “HP tx1000 PC Board : System board (motherboard) for full-featured models - AMD dual-core processor supported, nVIDIA C51M chipset (Northbridge) which has the MCP51 Southbridge.”
The tx1000 series uses a socket S1 AMD CPU processor on the nVIDIA G6150 + NF430 mainboard. For anyone curious, GPU is built into the assembly itself making this replacement HP component run the nVIDIA G6150 video graphics as well.
HP Part # 441097-001 is used and compatible only with the HP Pavilion tx1000, tx1100, tx1200, tx1300 and tx1400 series. If you are unsure if your notebook has the older or newer model, you can call HP at 1800-HP-INVENT and give them the exact model of your laptop and they can verify the motherboard your current system has. This is also handy to make sure you require HP spares #: 441097-001 in the first place which will be the right number 95% of the time.
As always, I welcome your input and comments so please feel free contact me if you have any questions regarding this specific unit or any laptop motherboard problem in general. I would be more than happy to assist you the best I can to save you money while getting your laptop back up and running.
Hi, cool post. I have been wondering about this topic,so thanks for writing.
No problem, thanks for visiting laptop motherboard guide.
My TX went dead, guess is over heated. Tried everything, now is time for seeking replace the motherboard. My question is, you have above 2 motherboard, dose it include CPU or not ?
I do not sell motherboards or any part’s. I am giving you the part number you need to search for to replace your laptop motherboard. The 2 you saw below are just examples to aid in ordering the correct system board. Normally a CPU would not come with a motherboard purchase from HP so I would be safe and assume it is not included. You may be able to find someone selling the 441097-001 with processor on a auction site such as eBay or by searching google.
Just a heads-up: Got word from an acquaintance recently who lost his TX1000-series in the typical fashion. He found a good computer tech to install a new southbridge on the systemboard for $150USD. Apparently the stock southbridge is brutal and the first-rate one that he had put on ran almost 10 degrees (F) cooler. I’m now hunting for a tech who can replace the southbridge chip in my dead TX1218ca.
Thanks for the information. I am located in NY but I am sure there are good computer shops in your area. Check google for business who specialize in laptop repair. Have a good day.
My Tx1000 motherboard got cooked; I understand a lot of people are having the same problem and that the graphics chip overheats. I don’t see any point in replacing the motherboard with the same board (with presumably the same weakness). Is there a way to check to see if the processor itself is OK, and if so, is there an aftermarket board that will fit in the case? As a fall back position, I would like to get a good motherboard with the correct socket even if it wouldn’t fit in the Tx case and end up with a sort of semi-laptop. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks and have a good day.
i only suggest using the same part number laptop motherboard that is already in your machine. you will save yourself alot of time and money – if you wanted to upgrade i would honestly suggest buying a new laptop since motherboards are a little pricey and you need to install it or have a place install it for you. i don’t have any idea’s on this case on testing the cpu without causing damage so i apologize about that. thanks for visiting.
i have 2 tx 1000 with cooked mother boards, this part number laptop motherboard was perfect
your information was useful.
i think this is what i have now.
awesome, hopefully all goes well with your laptop motherboard lol. take care
thanks, i am glad you stopped by. take care
your website was the only notebook motherboard website I found without popups and ads taking up my screen trying to sell me everything but didn’t help me with my problem. finally good to know that theres still honest helpful people out still. thank you
Thank you for all of your generosity and help.
I know the iphone is a phone but does it cost extra money to get internet on the iphone and can you pick which place to get service from like tmobile or verizon or something.
What is your question to be more specific? I’m not sure what your asking about, thanks.
HP wanted $550 more for my motherboard then the link I saw in your post. Thank god I came across your site before buying from hp direct.
Hp does overcharge in my opinion and that doesn’t even include installation. I’m happy to hear I was able to save you a ton of money. I sound like a Geico commercial lol. Take care.

anyone replaceing your motherboard in the above mentioned hp tx models…..should DEFinately install a small copper cooling “shim” on your GPU…..this lowers op. temps by AT LEAST 20 degrees….my gpu runs NOMORE than 65 degress rather than the normal and above 85 degrees……you`ll get years more use than the average 2yrs of use….you can find them sold on ebay for around $4-$5…..a WISE investment!!!! good luck all
anyone ever try a tx2 MB in a tx1000 ?
My Tx 1000 stopped working at all. Battery looks good and and Charger works but not even a blink when I try to turn it on other than the wireless ON light. I bet is the motherboard. I´ve done a lot of changes in multple machines but never changed a motherboard. Is this just take it appart and replace it or do I need any special material other than specific screwdriver?
Thanks, the site is great….
