[v5535] Upgrading the processor

[jambo]

Hey all. Just a quick question. I recently bought an esprimo v5535 with a 1.6 Ghz Intel core duo processor and was wondering whether i could upgrade the processor.
I only need it to get to 2Ghz as it is for a specific game to run on it.

Im pretty new to all this computer stuff so i would appreciate it being spelled out for me. Would i have to take the laptop apart to install a new processor or what?

Cheers

Alright thanks but do i have to dismantle the laptop and add it in? And where would be the best place to get one of these and roughly how much would it cost.

Cheers

Hello,
I live in Germany, these addresses will not help you. Look into the helpdesk of your country.

Can anyone provide further information on upgrading the processor?

I was looking to upgrade to the T5850 but reading up about upgrading laptop processors it seems that it may also involve replaceing other components which ultimately renders the upgrade overly costly.

Also, where can I buy the processors as I've hit a dead end.

Thanks for any feedback!

hi

its not hard to upgrade memory, cpu or drive.

the cpu is under the main panel (large), 4 screws, carefully remove the heat pipe n fan. i'm running t7300 2.0 gig cor 2 duo cpu. i think they also have a 2.2 gig version but dont know the id yet.

theres nothing else you really need to do.

the graphics card may let you down "sis mirage 3", its integratred so you cant do anything about it. i have just downloaded latest driver for it, go to sis downloads and use the gpu selection. it may not say mirage 3 etc but it does the job and doesnt slow the system down unlike the version fsc have on their site.

I replace my CPU Celeron 540 for a T7300.
The system powers up, the powerled is on, I hear the harddisk spinning and nothing happens.

I have firmeware version 1.09.

If I change the T7300 back for the Celeron the systems boots up fine.

Anyone any idea?

Do I need to change anything in the BIOS?
I already tried to clear the CMOS en left the battery out for more then 30 minutes.

I bought an other CPU and this one is working. The old one was broken.
