Laptop Halp - Motherboard Issue

Alright, so I bought back in Feburary an HP Pavilion G6 2292sa laptop. It around July it had a problem where the screen wouldn´t turn on, but the laptop was fine and worked fine if I connected it to another monitor/tv through HDMI. I called HP and they picked it up as it was in guarantee. Anyways, they didn´t fix it because apparently it had liquid contamination and that voided the warranty. I´ve already taken it to two different people and said that there is no liquid contamination in the laptop and that HP had not even opened the laptop as the protective seals were all in place. Anyways, after getting my laptop back from a store where a guy was looking at it, he determined, as the first one as well did, that it is a motherboard issue. The part where you connect the cable that goes from the monitor into the motherboard graphics chipset (or something like that) is damaged and doesn´t work properly. He said it was possible to fix it with a hair dryer but didn´t want to risk damaging anything else. So he told me the best option would be to replace the entire motherboard. Thing is, I don´t know what motherboard exactly my laptop uses. Here are the specifications for it, as well as in the link. [quote]Specifications Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-3210M processor (2.5 GHz, 3.1 GHz with TurboBoost, 3 MB L3 cache) Operating System: Windows 8 RAM: 6 GB, Upgradeable to 8 Graphics card - Intel HD Graphics 4000 - Up to 1.65 GB of dedicated RAM Screen type: HD BrightView LED-backlit Screen resolution: 1366 x 768 Screen size: 15.6" Screen features: LED backlit Hard drive: 1 TB (SATA, 5400 rpm) Optical disk drive: SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with double layer support Memory card reader: Digital media card reader USB - USB 2.0 x 2- USB 3.0 x 1 FireWire: No Modem/Ethernet: Integrated 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet LAN WiFi: 802.11b/g/n Bluetooth: No TV output: VGA, HDMI Expansion card slot: No Sound - Altec Lansing speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio- Dolby Advanced Audio Webcam: HP TrueVision HD Webcam with integrated digital microphone Keyboard & Mouse - Full size textured island-style with numeric keypad- TouchPad supporting multitouch gestures and on/off button Battery - 6-cell- Up to 7 hours[/quote] Can anybody help me out here and tell me which the motherboard model I´d need to replace, or at least even the chipset so I can have an idea? Thanks a lot.
