My motherboard is already damaged, I tried searching for a replacement on eBay. The CPU of the previous motherboard I have is core i3 and I wanted to upgrade into core i5. I am aware that I should follow the part number of hardware when replacing it but I couldn't find a replacement with the CPU of core i5 same with the part number of my motherboard.

I am planning to buy this one:
HP PAVILION X360 13T-S100 13-S SERIES I5-6200U MOTHERBOARD 827823-001 828607-001

But my motherboard part number is 827822-601.

Below is the Motherboard with the same part number.
HP PAVILION X360 13-S SERIES INTEL I3-6100U MOTHERBOARD 827822-001 849242-001 US

I'm not really sure the difference but upon checking, I think the only difference is the CPU.

The exact model of the laptop is:
HP Pavilion x360 - 13-s120nr (ENERGY STAR)

This question is similar to this HP Forum. The Part Number or Spare Part Number of hardware should be followed when upgrading or replacing any parts of a laptop. To determine which model is compatible, the Service Guide Manual is the key. Usually, this service guide manual is a hard-copy that is included in the package when you purchase a laptop, if not you can download a PDF copy of it on the official page of the product. You can then find a list of hardware with the spare part number on it which is surely compatible and tested by the company.

In this case, the laptop is HP Pavilion x360 - 13-s120nr (ENERGY STAR), in the Manuals you can download a PDF soft-copy of the Service Guide Manual...

In this case, the laptop is HP Pavilion x360 - 13-s120nr (ENERGY STAR), in the Manuals you can download a PDF soft-copy of the Service Guide Manual and on Page 33 in the System Board section there is a list of it with description and spare part number. Just choose which system board and spare part number you wanted to use and look for it when you purchase.
