If your HP 15-ay114cy (also known as the HP Notebook 15) is no longer detecting wired audio or external devices connected through the USB ports, then you may have a faulty or broken motherboard that needs to be replaced.
When your motherboard is working properly, any wired audio connected to the laptop will receive sound. Also, any external device connected to the laptop through the USB ports will be detected and will work with efficient response time. If your laptop is older, extensive use of the laptop’s audio and USB ports can cause them to become damaged and break, resulting in the same symptoms with the motherboard. However, If your laptop is new, it is possible that you may have a faulty motherboard, which can result in the same symptoms from extensive use.
Before removing the motherboard, relate back to this troubleshooting page for further information about what is causing your symptoms. Moving forward, be sure to follow all prerequisite guides included for dismantling your device.
No special skills are required to remove and replace this device’s motherboard. However, you will need a plastic opening tool (plastic spudger) as well as a Phillips #0 Screwdriver.
