Lenovo N200 B9G CPU upgrade?

I have a N200 B9G with a Celeron 530. The chipset is GM965 according to the Intel Chipset Identification Utility. Is it possible to upgrade the CPU to a T8100 or T8300? I get conflicting reports when searching.

hi Kruskakli,
Welcome to Lenvo Community Forums!
Your Chipset Supports the Processor you want.
Here's the reference
Chipset Compatible CPU
http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller#@compatibility
But as per the Motherboard it will be limited to this list
CPU assembly, Intel Celeron M processor 540 (1.86 GHz)
CPU assembly, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7100 (1.83 GHz)
CPU assembly, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7300 (2.0 GHz)
CPU assembly, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500 (2.2 GHz)
This list can be checked with your system's maintenance Manual

Putting a Chipset Compatible CPU but not Mainboard compatible may end up like this Thread

CPU Upgrade on N200?

Hello.
I Have a N200 0769-BDG machine with a T5250 CPU inside. Now I'm thinking about a CPU-Upgrade...
My Questions are:
1. Will upgrading the CPU affect my warranty?
2. Will my notebook work with one of the new 45nm Penryn-CPUs? It should, because the new Santa Rosa Refresh is on Hardware side completely identical with the actual GM965 platform. Will I need a Bios update and if yes, wenn will it be available?

"While members from Lenovo may participate at intervals to engage in the discussions and offer advice.... "
a) You will blow your warranty out of the window
b) Lenovo doesn't do cpu upgrades, you are possibly in for a long wait. If you are lucky a member may come along who has knowledge and experience of such upgrades.

Lenovo n200 3000 upgrading GPU

How can I upgrade my gpu on my Lenovo? I know its soldered but is it a complex job to resolder a new one? I haven't seen it myself so I don't know, Is it micro soldering? If I can what GPU's can I replace it with? If not how would I overclock it? I know the precautions, I have lost my warranty long ago, as it is past 2 years old. If overclocking is my only option, is there some guidelines and programs that you can supply? And if I can upgrade my gpu, are there also guidelines to follow and instructions? Thanks

Hi Mennims,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m glad to inform you that the GPU in the computer can be upgraded according to the details provided in the below link under “Video” option, however I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance, Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number, I’m sure they will be a great help.

G550-20023 Cpu Upgrade X9100 or Q9100 ????

Hello
my friend actually using Lenovo G550-20023
Cpu inside is c2d T600 2.2 GHZ
Everest showed chipset ıntel gm45
ı want upgrade Quad Q9100 or Quad X9100 possible !!!!!!
I red few websites, but many opinions
Many thanks

The CPU is soldered to the logic board. As Retired Engineer indicated, there are no sockets. As such, you would need to unsolder more than 450 pins simultaneously in order to remove the processor... as well as be able to re-solder all those pins. Basically, it's impossible.

N581 - CPU Upgrade Temperaturentwicklung

Hallo zusammen, ich habe ein N581 Notebook mit dem B960 Prozessor.Da momentan mein PC nicht funktioniert und ich auf das Notebook als Hauptrechner ausweichen möchte, spiele ich mit dem Gedanken meinen Prozessor zu upgraden. Ich habe mein Lenovo-Notebook bereits mit einem 16GB RAM Upgrade und einer SSD ausgerüstet. Ich habe herausgefunden, dass das Mainboard HM76 Express verbaut ist und auf der Seite http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/HM76_Express.html sind alle (oder die meisten) CPUs gelistet, die mit dem Board kompatibel sind. Ich möchte jetzt nicht unbedingt einen i7 einbauen, da ich Angst habe das die Hitzeentwicklung mein Notebook zerstört. Unterscheiden sich die N581 Notebooks nur unter dem Prozessor (evtl. RAM) oder wurde ein anderer Kühlkörper auf dem Notebook verbaut? Weil wie ich das im Internet sehe, ist das stärkste N581 Notebook vom Prozessor her, das mit einer i5-3230M CPU. Also sollte doch der Einbau einer i5-3230M CPU keine Probleme machen? Meint ihr ich könnte evtl. auch einen i5-3340M problemlos aufrüsten? Danke im Voraus und viele GrüßeMatthias

Hallo mkoenig92,
HM76 Express ist nicht das Mainboard, sondern lediglich der Chipsatz, soviel aber nur zur Info
Wie der Austausch der CPU funktioniert siehst du im Wartungshandbuch, Seite 73 (und die zuvor, da ja einige Teile entfernt werden müssen):
https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_p580_p585_n580_n581_n585_n586_hmm_1st_edition_apr_2012.pdf
Ob du dir das selbst zutraust musst du selber entscheiden, sollte noch Garantie vorhanden sein könnte die mit dem Austausch verloren gehen, sei daher unebdingt vorisichtig!
Maximal möglich ist ein I5-3210M, laut Manual.

BIOS Update for Lenovo N200 3000 0769-ASU

Hello,
I want to upgrade my hard drive but I must upgrade my BIOS, but I cannot find a BIOS Update for Lenovo N200 3000 0769-ASU with Windows 7, any help or assistance is appreciated.

Sorry for replying to an old post but I found one of theese laptops a couple of days ago where I work. (I work at a recycle station/place/something)
I decided that I wanted to try and fix it since it suffers from the issue discussed here.
I have about 15 yrs experiance with fixing computers and about 3 years with laptops and my repair succes rate is rather high.
But this laptop is a piece of very bad and **bleep**ty workmanship - The whole upper part of the mainboard is toast - the part that is just under the connection to the batteri is badly burned.
I will upload some pictures shortly, and give a detailed workaround if I get it fixed
cheers

G500 Supported CPU Upgrade?

My question is simple and I want an answer from the Lenovo Hardware experts themselves;
I want to upgrade to either of the two CPUs below
Intel Core i7-3632QM HM76 chipset and TDP of 35W
or
Intel Core i7-3840QM HM76 chipset and TDP of 45W + http://www.poweradapterlaptop.com/Lenovo/ADL135NLC3A.htm#
Lenovo ADL135NLC3A 135W AC adapter
Currently the BIOS for Lenovo G500 is at V2.03,
The Lenovo W530 has this BIOS also which has an i7 3840QM so I presume I can upgrade to the i7 3840QM plus a 135W Adapter? correct me if I am wrong please I need a LENOVO tech hardware expert to answer please.

I dont have this system, I did visit the computer depo a while ago, and did find out regarding the mPCIE, the BIOS will readily accept the SSD, but at the risk of you losing wireless connectivity, which can be restored via USB wireless adapter. I dont fear BIOS not recognizing the cpu, I fear motherboard fry, hence I wont recommend CPU upgrade.
Yes Upgrading the CPU under warranty period will void you warranty, because the CPU is an FRU (factory replacable unit). Regarding the Drive caddy I was thinking of a generic drive caddy, you can purchase one from ebay or amazon. The i5-3230M is still a very powerful mobile CPU. The biggest bottle neck in your system is the HDD, as first off the files are loaded from the HDD then cached to the RAM hence I recommended you install a generic drive caddy and put in your HDD there, and install an SSD. 8GB ram is the sweet spot, but if your keeping atleast 3 years in mind then 16gig will keep you satisfied for a long time. I DO NOT recomment CPU upgrade
Lets make 2015 the year of the #DO

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ cpu upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 X2

Hello everyone,
First of all, I have been to cpu-upgrade.com and typed in my current (CPU)--> AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz (motherboard)--> ASUS A8M2N-LA (Naos) GL6.
According to the website, my AM2 Socket (940pin) is capable of upgrading to a Dual Core, Anyone know if that site is accurate or not? Any help would be nice. I need to get away from this single core.
1) Some CPU models require a BIOS upgrade, which a BIOS upgrade for this board is not available.
2) A lot of X2 Dual Cores work either using a 4400+, 4600+, and so on....
I do have a 550watt PSU installed, also I am using MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 PCI-express 16x graphics, not using onboard.
I have read that some BIOS' upgrades terminate the onboard video, is that true? Basically, whatever I already have installed is current and up to date with all video/sound drivers, etc... If anybody very knowledgable knows for sure if an AMD Athlon 64 X2 will work in my system that would be nice. My specs below......
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (32bit)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz
RAM: 2GB (GDDR2)
PSU: 550watt (all 20+4 for main cable to motherboard connected using all 24 pins + 4pin connector for CPU? I believe.
Sound: Realtek HD ALC888 High Definition Audio
Video: MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 (GDDR3 with 2GB Video Memory).
Only thing I am bottle necking on is the CPU, and I would love to upgrade to Dual Core, once again, thank you for the help.

Hello @bigsnake,
I understand you are looking to upgrade your processor on your Compaq Presario Media Center SR2013WM Desktop PC. I am providing you with a link to a CPU-Upgrade thread concerning your very question ASUS A8M2N-LA CPU compatibility list. Now this is the only information I have been able to find concerning a processor upgrade for your Compaq Presario Media Center SR2013WM Desktop PC.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Lenovo n200 3000 0769-BAG vista camera driver?

Hello my friends. I have Lenovo n200 3000 0769-BAG model laptop. My operating system is vista home basic x86. My integrated camera doesn't works sometimes. This event happens frequently at now. The camera driver is not original, it is automatically installed when vista operating system setup. So what can I do? Is there any original camera driver somewhere? Thanks a lot...
p.s: (0689 type camera driver doesn't work at 0769-BAG.)
Message Edited by gizsin on 04-28-2009 07:11 AM

Hi !
I have exactly the same laptop and I had the same problem.
It was hardware related. The camera wire become loose and was not connecting sometimes.
You can, if skilled, solve the problem yourself by following the dismantling videos and correctly plugging in the camera. If you route the cable correctly you'll solve the problem.
Bear in mind that you need some tools, time as you'll have to dismantle quite all the laptop and skills in order not to make things worse...

CPU upgrade on Satellite L30-101

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I've upgraded the RAM successfully to 2GB (2x 1GB) but I'm finding it incredibly hard to get information on processor replacements.
The laptop has the latest BIOS on it (3.10-WIN - 19/02/08) but when trying to find information regarding whats in it I'm hitting brick walls. Firstly the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/ < doesn't have my laptop on it,
Product Type: Notebook
Family: Satellite
Product Series: Satellite L Series
Model: ? unknown
Short Model No: ? unknown
I did hope I could stick an Intel Duo in but with the ATI chipset, I'm pretty sure it wont work but again without knowing whats within BIOS, compatible.. I'm lost. The only processor I can find which may work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 which kicks out 1.86 GHz, not a massive difference and I'm sure it can't be the only replacement option.
Could someone and staff please help me with getting hold of BIOS info and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 kicking out 1.46 GHz isn't good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi tasking. Its lagging way too much even after a good tune up, ram upgrade, HD upgrade to 7200RPM. I'm in need of a processor upgrade but as mention finding it incredibly hard to obtain information of which would be compatible.
Sincerely,
Gourcuff

Hello
In my opinion your attempt to replace CPU is wrong. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer some fabulous performance and it is designed for everyday usage. Best evidence for this was the price. It was not so expensive.
Can you please tell us why do you want to have new CPU? Do you use some special software?
Back to CPU replacement. As you probably know mobile computers have limited upgrade options and it is related to RAM and HDD upgrade. It is definitely unprovided for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
Due to all this you will not be able to find any relevant info about CPU replacement.
Check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

Is CPU upgrade on Satellite 2410-303 possible?

My Satellite 2410-303 has Pentium 4 Mobile 1.7GHZ processor. I want to upgrade its processor to Pentium 4 Mobile 2.8GHZ. I think that it is possible because its upper models have faster processor and that is unique difference between them.
Please, help me for this question and tell me is it possible?

Hello
You will be very lucky if someone has so good experiences with CPU upgrade on Satellite 2410 but on this forum you can find very nice comments about that. I have founded just two of them but very interesting. Check it out!

Satellite M40x will not boot up after CPU upgrade test

I have an M40x Laptop. I took the CPU out of it to replace it with another to test the computer booted up fine so I shut down and took it out and put it's original CPU back in, and it would not boot. Now it will not boot up at all with either of the CPU's all. When I turn on the power all I get is a white screen for a few seconds and the laptop shuts itself back down. Both the CPU's are good because I have since tested them in other computers to make sure that was not the problem.
Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this??

Im not surprised.
As far as I know Toshiba does not support any CPU upgrades and it's not advisable to do something like that.
Its a fact that the CPU replacement on the notebooks is not easy and mostly not recommended.
The processors used in portables are connected to the system board using a process called TCP (Tape Carrier Package). This is a permanent connection method and is used in the interests of miniaturization and heat dissipation.
Did you assign the new heat paste? Its necessary and important if you want to connect the CPU again.
So possibly this is a reason for the no booting.
I think more details you will get from the service guys in your country

Cannot install Windows (XP, 2000 or 7) on Lenovo N200

Hi there,
I installed a new harddrive on my Lenovo N200 (0769-E8G).
I tried to install basically all Windows OS (2000, XP and Windows 7), after 3 days I am giving up.
Sooner or later there will always come an error message.
I have tried to different new harddrives.
The pc was working ok before.
The funny thing is I can install Ubuntu.
What could be the problem?
A virus in the BIOS?
Thanks
Jürgen

What is the exact problem you are facing?any error messages?
In which order are you trying to install those 3 OSes?
Cheers and regards,

CPU upgrades

I'd like to upgrade a tray-loading iMac with the CPU from one of the faster slot-loading ones - 350, 400, whichever.
I'd also like to swap a 450 or 500 MHz CPU from a DV SE that had firewire into the earlier, ordinary slot-loading version, which didn't.
Does anyone know if there's any reason there would be a problem doing either of these changes?
For that matter, if the DV motherboard's okay, any reason I couldn't use the whole thing in the slot-loader? I think there's a video problem, but if that's just a monitor thing and not on the board, it shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks

you are correct, the slot loaders do not have a separate CPU card, its soldered directly to the logic board.
There are CPU upgrades available for tray loaders (don't know if any are actually still produced anymore, but they do exist), but the cost usually just isn't worth it. You could get a used slot loader for the same amount,a nd a used eMac or mac mini for a little bit more.

1.0/1.1 GHz G3 Powerlogix CPU Upgrades in Beige G3

There have been very few postings of upgrades to the Powerlogix 1.0 and 1.1 GHz G3 CPU upgrades over at xlr8yourmac. Any of the upgraders here have any experience w/ this CPU upgrade in a Beige G3? Comments positive or negative? Problems?
I'm currently running a 466 MHz CPU in a Beige MT and am looking for a little more quickness. I've already maxed out the RAM and am running a ATA-133 Maxtor HDD on a ATA-133 SIIG PCI card.

Thanks for your comments. There are very few xlr8yourmac postings for the newer Powerlogix G3 upgrades in a Beige G3, but several for the B&W G3s. Likewise, xlr8yourmac's own CPU upgrade comparison using the new Powerlogix G3 upgrade was done w/ a B&W. The problem is that the B&W's were so different from the Beige, so quirky, and in fact so different from the front to the back of their production cycle that I wouldn't rely on their results as typical for the G3 upgrades. That said, most of the B&W upgrades w/ the Powerlogix 1/1.1 GHz IBM chip were favorable.
I ruled out the G4 upgrades for my Beige based on the long string of horror stories of those early adopters of G4 upgrades for their Beige G3s. They may have solved those problems, but I decided some time back, based on various web discussion threads, that G4s and the Beige just don't live and play well together.
It is true that the 66 MHz buss is starting to be a noticeable choke point. But, for the most part, speeding up what you can speed up, compensates for that problem. No, it can't make it into a new machine, but a used Mac at 933 MHz on ebay is going for almost $1K, and I can approach that performance for a lot less additional investment.
