Hello danielrwaters.  I understand you'd like to upgrade your CPU or replace your motherboard.
I can locate the parts and information for you if you provide me with your product number.  This identifies the notebook.  This document can show you where it is located.
Once I have this information I'll see what parts are available for your notebook.
I hope you have a great weekend!

  • Satellite A200 - CPU replacing

    Hi
    I have an Satellite A200-130 with CoreDuo 1,86 CPU and I'm thinking about replacing it for Core2Duo 2,0 mainly for ot's little better performance and virtualization options.
    Anyone done that?

    Generally the CPU replacement is not very easy on the notebooks.
    Its trickier as the replacement on the desktop PCs.
    First of all you should check if your chipset supports the Core2Duo 2Ghz CPUs.
    Usually you could find such info on the Intel page.
    Secondly you have to know if the BIOS would support the new Core2Duo CPU.
    This is very important because the fan table which is stored in the BIOS controls the cooling modules. If the cooling modules dont work correctly then the notebook would overheat and this could damage the notebooks hardware.
    Therefore such CPU upgrades are not advisable and mostly not possible

  • Lenovo 3k out of warranty -is it worth getting MB or CPU replaced?

    Just getting started on this repair for my friend, so haven't priced out a MB or CPU replacement;
    Is it worth (cost effective) to work toward replacing a cpu or mb if one or the other is defective?
    The system is reliably turning off on its own within 10 seconds or 10 minutes; with most all accessories removed, and wether in the bios or booted into the utilities section of the hdd, the system will turn off after a short period of time -on a/c power-.
    It's a Lenovo Product: 3000 N100 0768-DLU
    any replies i'm very interested in. THANKS. Matt

    narukthul,
    Sorry you had a bad experience.  Can you explain a bit more?  It sounds like you had some service while still in warranty, that may or may not have been related to the GPU, and now you are having these symptoms.
    How far outside of warranty are you?
    When was your last repair that you reference and when did these symptoms occur?
    Best regards,
    Mark
    i had my display replaced with the rubbishy refurbished parts lenovo uses to repair warrantied computers. It came back unsurprisingly worse off than when i sent it in. I believe they had attached the display cable incorrectly to the motherboard causing the display to flicker and to display a garbled picture as well. it took 3 more send ins to the lenovo depot for them to fix it and by the last time i got my computer back my warranty was expiring then less than a month later my display picture would consistently become more garbled overtime both when viewed via laptop display and external monitor.
    I did not have these issues before sending my computer in for "service" The fact that external monitor display was also garbled beyond recognition indicates either damaged GPU hardware or software. Operating under the assumption that the video driver software had become corrupted I tried several different driver versions and even uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch to no avail. Given that a reinstall of the video driver was inneffective I am confident that when I sent my computer in for "service" the technicians attaching the display cable to the motherboard caused damage to the GPU over the 4 times I had to send my computer back in because of the loose display cable. Essentially I sent in a working computer for service and lenovo sent me back a paperweight.

  • After CPU replace I cannot start my Satellite S1400-553S

    Hello
    I opened up my Toshiba laptop to replace the CPU a newer one among other components salvaged from an other Satellite, when I replaced them and closed it back up I cant seem to boot it up now.
    When I press the power button the floppy drive makes a noise for a slit second and goes off again and the yellow power cable LED comes on.
    I have put the original components back into the machine, but I still have the problem.
    Any idea as to whats up?
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi there,
    it could be that youve damaged your mainboard with the other CPU. I mean did you checked before if the CPU type you wanted to install was intended to run in your machine?
    If I were you I would throw the machine in trash and forget about it since repairing such old machine is senseless, especially after trying to repar it by yourself..
    Cheers and nice weekend

    Here is the Manual:
    Manual
    Processor list is on page 2. You already have the second best compatible processor. The only faster one the motherboard will accept is an N970. It is not worth the hassle for .1 ghz. 
    You have 6 gigs of RAM and could have 8. Also, a solid state drive would add significant punch. These are about your only options to speed it up.

  • G62-355dx cpu replaced still not working

    My g62-355dx is still not working after replacing the cpu (thats what the blink code was....caps lock blinking once every few seconds) so after replacing the cpu I am still getting the same blink code....tried the hard reset before replacing the cpu but havent tried it after....I just need to know if its possibly the mother board and if a motherboard from a different g62 model will work in my 355dx....
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    This is about the third post of its type I have fielded in the last month or so and I will repeat what I have always maintained. It is almost never the CPU, regardless of the blink code. It is almost always the motherboard. Your by far safest bet is to replace like with like although likely another g62-300 series motherboard will work, if it has any feature yours did not or vice versa it may take some case mods to make it fit and you want to avoid that.
    You will need the Service Manual:
    .pdf of manual here
    Your motherboard part number can be found inside the memory compartment. Post back if you want detailed help finding a replacement.

  • Pavilion DV6-3134ca CPU replacement

    So my laptop just recently died. I searched online and read that by looking at the Cap Locks blinking light will tell me what is wrong with the laptop.
    1 blink then pulse means something wrong with the CPU. Im guessing that it means the CPU is toast.
    Is it replaceable? I could not find any information on this. 
    Product #: XG886UA#ABC
    it has the AMD Triple Core Phenom CPU.
    Thanks

    Hey gd6noob1,
    This link has info on the blink codes: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=dk&docname=c01443366
    It is possible to replace the CPU, however it is a fairly complicated procedure. I'd highly recommend that you contact HP Support (800-HP-INVENT) if the code indeed shows a CPU problem

  • V240 CPU replacement

    I want to replace a failed CPU but cannot remove it from the heatsink. Any suggestions?

    I'm assuming you've removed the heatsink from the motherboard, and the CPU came along with it? If so, you may have damaged the pins on the CPU.
    At the risk of sounding cavalier, you'll have to somehow pry the CPU from the heatsink. There is a special grease between the CPU to and the heatsink. Over time, the grease hardens and the heatsink and CPU stay together. I'd be very hesitant to use anything but gentle persuasion to move the CPU side to side to try to break the lock to the heatsink.

  • CPU replacement, warranty?

    I currently own a T61 thinkpad with an Intel C2D T7100.
    Recently i bought an T7700. I'm planning to replace the T7100 with the T7700.
    The only question for me is, will I still have my warranty when I do this?
    I hope the warranty won't be void, because there are no seals with 'warranty void if broken'
    and on the Lenovo site you can just download the hardware maintenance manual.
    Thanks for your reaction.

    Basically, you would need to replace the original CPU before seeking warranty service.  The CPU is not a cusomter replaceable component.

  • CPU replacement

    Hello,
    I have a HP Pavilion dv5-1060ew notebook, with Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.26GHz in it. I want to replace some components of it so I can use it some more and not keeping it in a closet (I won't sell it, since it's a present from my family.)
    So far I replaced cooler and RAM and I want to replace CPU aswell. What I've read so far is that I can safely put Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 in my Socket P.
    I was wondering if it's possible to install a quad CPU in my notebook and if it was possible, which one could I put in it so it could work?

  • Dual 1.25 CPU replacing a dual 1ghz

    Hi!
    Is there somebody who knows if I can replaced the dual 1Ghz CPU (MDD model) by a dual 1.25Ghz CPU (from an other computer that has a dead MDD computer motherboard).
    Would it be a direct replacement ?
    Thanks

  • Cannot awake from sleep after CPU replacement.

    I recently upgraded my arch machine from E4500 CPU to a E6700 CPU. Everything seems to be okay, but for some reason I can no longer awake from suspension. My computer kind of just sits with the little blinking white under score at the top of the screen, which interestingly enough isn't blinking.
    I was hoping someone may be able to interpret what's going on in these logs for me. I see some errors, but I feel like they shouldn't be completely messing up suspensions.

    hi Reichtofer,
    Your friend is probably right. In this pdf info sheet, the B590 supports the following CPU:
    HM77 based models − Intel® Core™ i3
    HM77 based models − Intel® Core™ i5
    HM70 based models − Intel® Pentium®
    HM70 based models − Intel® Celeron®
    HM70 CPU/Chipset Compatibility list
    HM77 CPU/Chipset Compatibility list
    It looks like you really need to change the motherboard to an HM77 chipset for the CPU to work properly.
    Also, although the HM77 chipset does support both the Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile 2020M, Intel Core i5-3210M and other various CPU on the list above, looking at page 85 of the hardware maintenance manual, it seems like the BIOS is "restricted" to only use the following CPU:

    In this case, there's no official way on how to remove the restriction as this is by design and you may need to do as what your friend suggested.

  • Satellite P100-240 CPU Replacement - which CPU Can I Install?

    Does anyone know what CPU can I install in my P100-240? Any core 2 duo?
    Please don't tell me about warranty.I know I will lose it.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    The notebook was equipped with the Intel Core Duo (Yonah) CPU T2400 1.83GHz
    So I presume these CPUs could be compatible:
    Intel Core Duo
    T2300(1.66GHz)
    T2400(1.83GHz),
    T2500 (2GHz),
    T2600(2.16Gz) ,
    T2700(2.33Gz)
    Theoretically you could insert an T2700 (2.33Gz) but nobody can say if the notebook will run stable and properly after such upgrade. The stronger CPU produces more heat and the notebook could overheat after the upgrade. So its really not advisable to upgrade the CPU!!!
    .and you know that you will loose the warranty ;)

  • CPU replacement questions

    Hello all, I was given a PowerMac G5 dual 1.8 by a friend that had it laying around. The catch is, one of the processors is shot and has been removed, making it a 1.8gHz machine. So I have a few questions:
    1. Can I upgrade both cpu's making it a dual 2.0, or would those processors not be compatible with the motherboard?
    2. Can I purchase another 1.8 gHz cpu, install it in the slot that's currently vacant, thereby making it a dual 1.8 again?
    I have the temp. sensor calibration software so that is already taken care of. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    You can't upgrade to a faster CPU, but you can buy another 1.8GHz, but you have to make sure that it is the right part number, as it has to be the right CPU for that logic board.
