Is it possible to upgrade a Pavilion laptop's CPU?

I'm looking to upgrade the CPU on my laptop that i brought a few years ago, It's a Pavilion dv9628nr.
Currently have
Chipset Quanta 30D1
AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-58
Is it possible? + What kind of processors will it accept?

Yes it is possible, but likely not a good idea. Here is the Service Manual:
Manual
Up to a TL-66 was sold on the same motherboard so you can safely upgrade to that. So you would go from 1.9 ghz to 2.3 ghz.
But a TL-66 processor costs about $80 or so.
ebay
The labor to install a new processor is going to be over $100. Doing it yourself is of course a possibility but the Pavilion dv9000 series is about the most difficult laptop there is to work on. Lots of screws and weird assemblies to remove and remember how to reinstall.
After all is said and done going from 1.9 to 2.3 ghz will not do very much for you in terms of actual speed. And to top it off the dv9000 series with AMD is notoriously unreliable and just not worth investing that kind of money into. If you put in a faster (hotter) processor you are just increasing the risk of failure. If it were mine I would sell the laptop you have (still worth maybe $300-350 used) and buy a new laptop with an Intel processor.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the CPU on an MSI GX-730 laptop?

    Hi.  I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to upgrade the CPU on an MSI GX-730 Laptop with an X2 Turion CPU currently in it?  And if it's possible, what other CPUs are compatable?  I was hoping to put in a Phenom mobile processor, but I am not sure if one would work in it.  Thanks.

    The short answer is no, you cannot upgrade it.
    The long answer is you might be able to upgrade it to a slightly better Turion, but I'm not really sure it will provide any benefit.

  • Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop (dv6108nr) with Windows-XP​sp3 OS - Need Data Recov

    Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop - Need Data Recovery Help
    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased in late 2006 at Best Buy, with Windows XP, upgraded to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu hard disk, 60 gigabyte, partitioned into C: and a Recovery D:.
    Windows tries to boot up, but goes to blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for one second, then just keeps recycling until I force a shutdown.
    BIOS Phoenix, hard drive test result: " #1-08 Fail "
    I ran a disk analysis/recovery program on the Cdrive and it seemed to show the directory structure intact, and it was able to recover some files. I was using the free one from Seagate (which only recovers small files). The second pass didn't run so well, and during the third run the program said I should not proceed further, and I should contact a professional disk recovery company.
    However, the D drive seems to be intact, so, I wonder if the disk is corrupted or just some aspect of the logical C drive is bad. Or does the disk have a mechanical failure, in which case, is a recovery disk even helpful at all?
    How can I get the D: to run the recovery software on it? The recovery disks, made by Best Buy, only proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Tapping the F10 key during startup gets me nowhere. Ditto the F11 key.
    I dont care about the hard disk; it is the data (files, docs, images, etc) that I want.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks but they are no longer available for my computer. (But see below, "UPDATE")
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    ===============================
    UPDATE:
    I found a website that offers the following:

    Recovery Kit 435422-001 For HP Model Number dv6108nr
    Price: $27.00
    Recovery Kit Set (An Entire Image of the Computer hard drive when the computer was new)
    But I wonder how useful it would be. Early XP , no doubt. And if my hard disk problem is a mechanical fault, would any recovery disk even work? The disks made by Best Buy when I bought mine new in 2006 don't do anything more than go to the R /F/ Q screen and then my computer goes to a blank blue screen when I press R (to recover the OS and apps and data files). And, as I wrote, it is the data that I want, not the disk drive.
    Any help here would also be appreciated!

    Hi @goshenguy
    Thank you for your inquiry, I am happy to help.
    I grasp you tested the hard drive from the bios and it failed.  This tests the physical aspcects of the hard drive and when it fails it does require replacement.  You were able to retrieve some of your files using recovery software but not all.
    Your recovery partition is still intact and when you try to do a recovery with the disks from Best Buy you do not get past these options R / F / Q  but will not proceed.
    Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows XP, 2006 or Later) that may assist you in performing a recovery.
    Here is a link to the Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook PC. Please note chapter 3 page 42 for a replacement hard drive part number. 
    HP Parts, HP Replacement Parts
    If you are still unable to do the recovery, you could try contacting Best Buy for assistance with the recovery kit they provide.
    I don't know if it is possible, but you may want to check cloning software to see if you could clone the D partion to the new drive or connect both drives and  try a drive to drive copy of the D partition.
    If you were able to successfully put the D partition on a new hard drive you should be able to do a recovery from the  D partition  to take it back to factory.
    If none of the above has allowed you to successfully do a recovery, I suggest contacting Best Buy to see it they have  options other then purchasing  a  third party recovery kit. 
    Good Luck!

  • Satellite A100-207: Is it possible to upgrade graphic card for gaming

    Hi
    I am looking to buy the Toshiba A100-207 laptop and it comes with 128MB of shared graphics.
    I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could upgrade the graphics (such as a nvidia card that I could buy and put in) or are the graphics fixed?
    I would just like to know if I am able to upgrade?
    Thankyou

    Hi
    In my opinion the graphic card and/or the CPU is not soldered on the new notebook generation. The parts should be simply plugged on the board.
    But this does not change the upgrade situation.
    Possibly you will be able to remove the graphic card but Im sure you will get compatibility problems with other hardware.
    The stronger graphic card produces more warmness and the temperature would increases automatically to a higher level. This would lead to the overheating issue and the notebook would either shut down or not starts.
    The desktop PC technology is simply different as on the notebooks. You can also not compare the different graphic cards. Notebook manufactures uses only the graphic card chips which dont supports an own cooling module.
    Simply said its not possible to upgrade the graphic card.

  • Is it possible to upgrade G62-361TX Notebook Processor and RAM?

    Maintenance and service guide for G62 laptops:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02542102.pdf
    Q2: I think so. The service guide says that it's possible for model 1.1 only. Product specs for G62-361tx say that the hard drive is a 320GB 5400rpm and this hard drive is available for model 1.1 only. I think that you may use a 4GB module anyway, the laptop might be upgraded up to 8GB of RAM..
    Q1: Upgrade definitely possible to:
    Intel Arrandale i5–520M Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual Core 35 W pn: 594187-001
    Intel Arrandale i5–540M Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual core 35 W pn: 594188-001

    Intel Arrandale i5–430 Processor (2.26 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W pn: 597624-001
    Might be possible:
    Intel Arrandale i5–560 Processor (2.66–3.2 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual

    W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 626039-001

  • Is it possible to upgrade the motherboar​d/graphics in my dv7-4177nr​?

    When I first bought this laptop it had decent, not great, performance in regards to video game graphics capabilities.  Requirements for video games are constantly evolving and my graphics card is no longer sufficient for new games.  I was wondering if it is at all possible to upgrade the integrated graphics (ATI Radeon HD 5470, I believe) of my dv7-4177nr by purchasing a new motherboard.  If so, what are some model numbers of compatible motherboards?  I would really like to avoid the purchase of a new PC/laptop as this one is only about 1.5 years old I think.
    Thanks!

    Yes it is.... I own a dv7-4177nr myself and talked at length with HP... if you can find the right motherboard (oem) and don't mind doing the work yourself it is doable. Keep in mind you have to swap out the motherboard (mobo) with another because the gpu and sundry is built into the mobo and not detachable like a desktop setup. Also if all you want is a gpu upgrade and are lucky enough to have a PCI card slot there are several options that you can upgrade your gpu to a desktop gpu which eliminates the need to swap motherboards and just run a graphics card (gpu) for gaming or streaming purposes...

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in the HP ENVY 17-j053ea?

    Hi
    I'm considering buying the HP ENVY 17-j053ea for use as a portable workstation for applications such as Max Design, autocad and photoshop as a second system for when I need to be away from the office but still need the ability to work.
    This machine seems to have a lot of bang per buck and is more in line with my budget than a full on portable workstation.
    As far as upgrade options I presume I could max out the ram at 16GB and put in an SSD as the main OS and application drive and use the main 1TB drive as the mass storage unit.
    What I'm wondering is if it possible to upgrade the graphics card in this machine?
    I don't imagine I would be attempting such an upgrade myself but assuming I leave it into a professional is this possible.
    My worry is that with some of my heavier model files I could feel the limitations of the mid range portable gfx card onboard. I could probably live with it if it is not an option but just putting feelers out.

    Thanks for the reply Paul
    I see.
    That doesn't sound feasible so.
    I can manage the other 2 upgrades within my budget but things seem to get quite expensive on the higher end platforms very quickly.
    It's my first foray into the laptop/workstation arena so I'm not that familiar yet with clever upgrade strategies.
    I did have the use of this model for a few days and It is a really nice overall laptop, both aesthetically and value wise.

  • Is it possible to upgrade my elitebook 8540w HD+ screen?

    The one thing that has always bothered me about my laptop is the HD+ screen, I would love to have a FHD screen.
    Is it possible to upgrade my screen to a dreamcolor2 version, and if not, is it possible to upgrade to a regular FHD screen?
    One thing I've been able to find is the screen with part number: LP156WF3(SL)(B3)
    This is an LG full hd screen, but I'm assuming it's not the dreamcolor.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    edit: mod removed the part number thinking it was private information.

  • Is it possible to upgrade an old PB G4 to support a new iTouch?

    Is it possible to upgrade an old PB G4 to support a new iTouch? 
    I understand I can upgrade the RAM and upgrade the internal drive.  But I don't know if that is sufficient to run a newer version OS...which ever that might be.  I think the newer ones need a dual core intel chip to run?  I plan to give my daughter a new iTouch but since I already have maxed out devices on my laptop, I thought I would just update my old PowerBook G4.

    No. The current iPod touch models require Mac OS X 10.6.8, which requires an Intel Mac.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the OS without a working CD drive?

    Hi,
    I have an older Powerbook G4 running OS 10.3.9. It's still (mostly) working, and I've managed to get by without updating my OS, because I was told that it would compromise performance if I tried to update to OS 10.4 or later.
    However, I just bought a lovely new iPhone 3GS, only to discover to my dismay that I can't synch it with my laptop without running OS 10.4.11.
    I would be willing to compromise performance to be able to synch my iPhone and be able to use the contacts and calendar and iTunes, etc. on both devices.
    But that leaves me with a bigger problem, which is that my laptop's CD/DVD drive died ages ago. Which really hasn't been a problem (I just use flash drives and an external hard-drive to transfer files, etc.). And it hasn't seemed worthwhile to fix it because the computer is so old, so I'm just trying to squeeze a bit more useful life out of it until I can afford to buy a new one. But now I imagine it probably means I'm unable to upgrade my OS.
    Unless it's possible to do the upgrade some other way, which doesn't require using the CD drive?
    And if it is possible to upgrade some other way, how much will performance be compromised? (It's a 1GHz PowerPC G4 (3.2) with a 1 MB L3 cache, and 1 GB SDRRAM, or so my "About This Mac" tells me!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You could buy an external DVD drive. It needs to be firewire and bootable by Mac OS. If you have another PPC with firewire, you could try target Disk mode and installed tiger that way.

    If i bought an older Macbook (black) is it possible to upgrade other components such as processer etc.. or am i stuck with it being unable...matter of fact are there black macbooks i dont want a macbook pro?!?! Thanks

    CPU will be soldered directly to the motherboard.  About the only things possible to upgrade on any Apple laptop are RAM (if not max'd out) and hard drive.
    The current models are listed on www.apple.com (and no black ones anymore, sorry).
