If your board got shorted out you will need a replacement.

The Intel Core i5-4210U processor that shipped with your computer is the ball grid array (BGA) type that are soldered into the socket in the MB, replacing or upgrading them is not a financially viable option and so you would be better off replacing either the notebook or a MB that shipped with the already upgraded CPU soldered in place.

 

Some info at the links for you to check;

 

The 4th generation Intel Core processor options that your computer originally shipped with;

 

Intel Core i5-4510U processor (2.0-GHz, 4-MB L2 cache, 1600-MHz DDR3L)** Unless I am mistaken the 4510U is an i7 CPU see here

Intel Core i5-4210U processor (1.7-GHz, 3-MB L2 cache, 1600-MHz DDR3L) The CPU that your computer shipped with read the FAQ section here

Intel Core i3-4030U processor (1.9-GHz, 3-MB L2 cache, 1600-MHz DDR3L)

Intel Core i3-4010U processor (1.7-GHz, 3-MB L2 cache, 1600-MHz DDR3L)

Intel Core i3-4005U processor (1.7-GHz, 3-MB L2 cache, 1600-MHz DDR3L)
