Can I upgrade the cpu in my Lifebook A512?

[francesco18]

The original cpu is a i3 3110m dual core Ivy Bridge 35 watt.
I want to put in it either a i7 3520m (also dual core, Ivy Bridge, 35 watt) or a i7 3632qm (quad core, Ivy Bridge, 35 watt).

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the cpu in this model?

[Ask Fujitsu]

Hello
Thank you for contacting Fujitsu!

Due to the EoSL status of this system's model, the available information is limited, hence the information on compatible CPU's beyond the available within the datasheet has been archived, meaning it can no longer be accessed.

However we do need to mention that the CPU for this type of device is usually embedded within the MoBo, hence relpacement will require special care beyond normal systems.
(Please bare in mind as well that EoSL, means the system model is no longer supported by FTS)

Kind regards

For posterity, yeah you can indeed replace the cpu in this laptop with the models I have described above, and it's very easy to do. Cheers
