    Unlike with desktop PCs, laptop motherboards are specific to the make and model, and generally aren't interchangeable (and btw a laptop motherboard is usually called a motherboard).

    You may find a cheap secondhand one on Ebay, but be aware that changing a laptop's motherboard is a non-trivial task (they often have loads of tiny screws and hidden plastic clips).

    What makes you think that the motherboard has died?

    Its a HP 6735...its not uncommon. Usually you can fix them by reflowing the solder under the main chipset IC.
