Is it possible to replace (not upgrade, just replace) the CPU in my hp pavilion d6-2164ca?

 And if it is possible, is it even worth doing?My computer has decided to give me the common problem of not starting up. At first the blinks (no sound) indicated a BIOS issue, but when I attempted to flash the BIOS it didn't work and the LED code changed to a CPU issue instead. I've been told that it isn't likely to be a motherboard issue, but if I did replace the whole motherboard would that replace the CPU as well?
PLEASE HELP!  I really need my computer back!
Thank you!

Yes the CPU is socketed and replaceable. However, I have only seen one or two bad processors and dozens if not hundreds of bad motherboards. Usually if you buy a motherboard it does not come with the processor and you swap your old one over. Sometimes on eBay somebody will be selling a combination motherboard and processor. The problem is the Turion M660 is very hard to find for sale. I could not find one online at all to even tell you what the price may be. The M600 is pretty cheap at $33:

The M600 should work and you would give up a couple ticks of processor speed only.

  • Possible to replace the CPU on Satellite A200-1H2?

    Can i replace my cpu (Toshiba Satellite A200-1H2) with another one? Cause i know some laptops can do that.

    Hi mate,
    first of all, if you want to loose your warranty then replace it. And I could give you 10 more arguments why not do it because if youre not familiar with disassembling notebooks and without information about the machines hardware you cannot exchange it.
    So, generally its NOT possible, maybe with another brands but I think the manufacturers of another brands do the same like toshiba and will revocate the warranty of the machine if you open your machine and attempt to modify the "hardwired" hardware inside of your notebook.

    thank you.

    Hi Loow,
    Im sure its possible to replace the touchpad buttons because you can replace everything on a notebook. But I think its a little bit tricky because you have to disassemble a lot of parts and thats not easy.
    You should ask an authorized service provider The guys can order new spare part for you and exchange it. Just write an email for example to get in contact with them.
    You can find a list of ASPs here:

  • When updating to  Mountain Lion I get this measageThis disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors. This disk has hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up as much data as possible and replace the disk.

    This disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors. This disk has hardware problem that can’t be repaired. Back up as much data as possible and replace the disk.
    never had this before download of Mountain Lion.

    As others have stated, this is a potentially catastrophic event.  Consider yourself lucky, as hard drives usually just fail wihtout warning.  Your disk could die at any time.  This is a mechanical / physical failure, not software related.
    Going forward, I would suggest utilizing a utility that monitors SMART status, which you obviously don't have, such as SpeedTools.

  • Is it possible to replace the wifi card with another one?

    Hi
    I have a t400 with intel 5100 wifi card and now I want to install mac os on my laptop.
    problem is that mac os does not detect the 5100 series of wifi card and I want to know whether it is possible to replace the current 5100 model with a older series?
    Is there any certified service center in Uppsala/ Sweden to do that?
    Thanks,
    Solved!

    Lenovo restricts the wireless cards to Lenovo branded units certified to work with the machine. This is done through a whitelist in the system BIOS. I recently disassembled the latest (version 3.14-1.06) T500/W500 BIOS and found the following whitelist table. This is raw big endian hex appended with what I found by searching the device ID's. Redundant entries are for varying vendor IDs.

    Your T400 is from the same lineup and probably has the same list. Remember, you'll need to purchase a Lenovo branded unit.
    Also look for a PM with additional information.

  • Is it possible to replace the internal wifi antenna in a itouch 1st gen with a stronger internal wifi antenna from a slightly newer model, such as a 2nd or 3rd gen itouch?

    Is it possible to replace the internal wifi antenna in a itouch 1st gen with a much stronger internal wifi antenna from a slightly newer model, such as a 2nd or 3rd generation itouch?

    That is not very likely as the antennae are different physical designs and fit will be an issue.

  • I'm getting a Plugged in, not charging message after replacing the CPU fan

    I just replaced the CPU fan on this notebook last night and finished it today. Its running perfectly at the moment.
    The problem is the windows Task bar on my desktop says "Plugged in, not charging" when I mouse over the battery indicator there. I've tried many things to fix it, from uninstalling or disabling the drivers for the devices involved (the ACPI battery and AC adapter) under Windows' device manager, to swapping out with my spare battery.
    I've also switched power plans on the off chance that could have been causing some kind of battery charging setting. This did not fix it. The AC adapter works. I've been running this notebook for about two hours now searching for a solution, it just won't charge the battery. I've not tried observed it enough but I believe it will charge while powered off, but not while on. The orange LED indicator by the AC adapter port glows when the machine is off, indicating that it is charging.
    I have a feeling the whole "uninstall device drivers for the battery devices" idea is a thing of the past. Everything I found which suggested doing that also mentioned Windows Vista, which at this point in time is a relic (July 2015). When I was replacing the CPU fan, it did get frustrating at times but everything is intact apart from some case clips and a few other plastic case parts. I have reason to believe everything is connected too because its still powered on, meaning its getting power, but it isn't going in to the battery.
    Symptom summary:
    Batteries: OKAC Adapter: OK
    MOBO: PROBABLY OK
    ME: NOT OK   xD

    1. Optimized battery run time, the energy managment completely charges the battery to ensure maximum battery performance
    2. On best battery health, energy management charges only 50% of the battery, it ensures maximum battery life but not performance

  • High temperatur​e after replacing the CPU T2500 - T7200 in T60

    After replacing the CPU from T2500 to T7200 CPU temperature ranges from 70-85C. It seems to me high, I think about replacing thermal grease or thermal paste application. What's better? Do away with the original gray ribbon and attach a new heatsink or better smear toothpaste?

    use a non conductive one or a thermal pad.
    the gray ribbon is a themal pad best to use WHAT CAME IN IT.
    reason is that can be a shim and do away with that and no contact.
    you went from a 31 watt to a 34 watt TDP not alot but it gonna run hot.
    75-80 c is hot yea but you have 65nm cpu class thats gonna run hot because it old and getting a lot of work.
    so you all know toothpaste might been used in tests but i not use because it can dry out and you dont know whats in in exacly.
    thermal wise i do belive whats in toothpaste is very good thermal wise but stick with the gray ribbon.
    Please disregard the above post(er).
    I've used AS5 on thousands of ThinkPads with no ill effects, actually the exact opposite. Minimal research of experiences posted by other owners on Bill Morrow's ThinkPad Forum will confirm this statement as well. Arctic Silver is as good as it gets unless one wants to spend $50 for a tube of thermal paste.
    To OP, your machine is running way too hot for the CPU in question. My 15" T60p with T7600 idles under 50 degrees C, and doesn't go over 62 in normal use. And yes, it has AS5 in it.
