Key Features & Specs

⚠️ Critical Compatibility — Read Before You Buy

1) Match by SPARE/PART NUMBER — never by “model name” alone

HP officially documents that the 13T-AP000 CTO / 13-AP family has different system-board spares per CPU tier:

That means: even if your laptop says "Spectre x360 13-AP", an i5 board ≠ i7 board.

Your safest path: flip the laptop over → read the bottom sticker → find the Serial / Product / SPS info → confirm your existingboard's label shows L37638-001 / L37638-601 / DA0X36MBAE0 before ordering.

2) What this board does NOT give you

• No NVIDIA/discrete GPU option — this is a UMA (integrated-only) board

• No user-upgradeable RAM slot — 16GB is soldered

• No HP BIOS/driver guarantee through a third-party seller

3) Typical supported sub-models (examples pulled from parts catalogs)

13-AP0023DX, 13-AP0028CA, 13-AP0033DX, 13-AP0038NR, 13-AP0039NR, 13-AP0043DX, 13-AP0046NR, 13-AP0048NR, 13-AP0053DX, 13-AP0068MS, 13-AP0090CA … and many TU variants (13T-AP000 family) — all subject to the exact spare number match

What You Need to Transfer / Reuse

Since this is a bare system board (used pull), you normally reuse:

• M.2 NVMe SSD

• Wireless card (sometimes included/pre-mounted, inspect photos)

• Heatsink/thermal module (some sellers include it, some don’t — confirm with seller)

• All antenna cables, keyboard/touchpad ribbons, battery connector, etc.

You WILL need fresh high-quality thermal paste/grease when remounting the cooling system.

Installation Difficulty: High (Ultrabook-class full strip)

Spectre x360 13-AP is a thin, metal-chassis convertible — motherboard replacement essentially means:

• Bottom cover → battery disconnect → remove cooling system → undo all ZIF ribbons (very delicate) → remove motherboard caddy

• Mistakes usually happen on antenna coax connectors and fingerprint/display cables — both fragile.

If you haven't done a full ultrabook teardown before, this is a pro-install job.

Warranty / Seller Note

• 45-day warranty = seller-level coverage for DOA / obvious failure after careful installation.

• Not covered (in practice): broken coax tips, ripped ribbons, bent pins, burnt PCB from reused damaged battery, liquid history.

• Pay via a platform-protected method (AliExpress/Ebay/PayPal) — don’t bank-transfer for this class of part.

Quick Pre-Purchase Checklist

1. Photo the label on your currentmotherboard (or at least the bottom-case sticker).

2. Confirm you see L37638-001 or L37638-601 AND DA0X36MBAE0 among the numbers.

3. Decide if your issue is reallythe board (no power / known short) and not just USB-C PD controller, battery, or charge port (common on Spectre x360 13”).

4. Ask StoneTaskin for photos of the exact unit (port corners, S/N label, screw mounts) before shipment.

If you want, paste here the text on your laptop’s bottom sticker (or the current motherboard’s white label photo transcribed), and I’ll tell you yes/no/exact spare number match before you order.
