Upgrading CPU on G62-144dx Notebook

I am looking to upgrade the processor on my G62-144dx Notebook, Product WA91UA#ABA. I currently have the factory-installed i3 2.13 GHz processor. I have looked at the manual and noticed that the compatible processors with the speeds that I require -- 2.66 GHz and above, to run Sonar X1 Studio software -- are noted for "model 1.1 only." How can I tell if I have model 1.1?
If I do not have the correct model ("1.1"), would one of the "model 1.1"-specific processors still be functional on this computer, albeit with less than optimal performance, or is there another issue (like physically not fitting the motherboard) that prevents such an installation?
Thanks, trying to decide whether or not to keep this computer or to get a custom-made elsewhere.

Hi,
Your machine currently has:
2.3GHz/1.4GHz VISION A6 Technology from AMD with AMD Quad-Core A6-3400M Accelerated Processor
Source: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv7-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5145684/model/5...
From 2.3GHz to 2.4GHz you won't gain anything. But if you wish, you can try 35W processors listed on page #1 of the following document:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03043778.pdf
Note: You can't overclock many branded machines. Vendors lock them in BIOS. One understanding reason: they don't want customers overclock machines then after one or two months cunstomers send machines back due to overheat.
Regards.

G62-144DX notebook does not start

Hi,
Out of nowhere, I had a problem with the wireless operation on a G62-144DX notebook w/ Windows 7 HP 64-bit. I noted the wireless indicator light glowing amber (disconnected) instead of blue (connected). In attempting to download the manual from HP (and get the exact model # to diagnose wireless issue) I removed the Battery while the AC power was connected (to read the model # on label under battery) while the notebook was upside down with display open. Since that point I have been unable to turn on the unit. I tried a reset procedure (found online directing to hold power button down for 15 seconds with battery out and AC disconnected) but to no avail. When I press the power button it is normally supposed to light up and the notebook should boot, but it does not. I have verified (with a voltmeter) the AC power adaptor is working and battery is charged and in good condition.
Can someone suggest what I should try next?
Thanks!

Maybe you are looking at the wrong side. My laptop has ram on both sides, one on the underside access by a panel and one on top under the keyboard.

HP G62-144DX Refuses to power on

Hi
I have the same model G62-144DX notebook with a similar problem (refuses to power on) although I have no lights whatsoever and was hoping you could help! I'm looking for the RTC battery, so I can remove it and reset the unit, but can't find it. The owner's manual shows it on page 51 under the RAM, but the only thing I see is a small can (appears to be a capacitor) with #
9M3
390
2.5v.
Can you help?
Thanks!

There are 2 service manuals on the page for your model, strange, one says under the bottom cover, the other says remove the main board.

Hi,
It's hard to say. This service guide says that the P360 supports only 1.2 models only. That is hard to guess which one it is..

However, there are better processors so pick a better one instead..

G62-227CL Notebook memory upgrade

I have a G62-227CL Notebook, and I would like to add memory. What kind of memory will work? Ideally, I would like to add 4 GB to the extant 3 GB. Must I add two of the 2 GB 1066 MHz PC3 8500 DDR 3 modules, or can I add the single 4 GB DDR3-1333?
(I think my system supports 1066 MHz. Does this mean that the DDR3-1333 would work more slowly, or that it would not work at all?) The 4G 1333 module is a lot cheaper than two of the 2GB 1066 modules, so that's why I ask. Thank you for your help!

The single 4 GB stick will work (1333Mz), make sure and insert it into the bottom slot. You can also use the other 2 GB stick with the 4 for a total of 6 GB.
It is advisable to use matched pairs of memory, but it will be fine to mix and match.
Here are some different types of combos from Crucial.
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=HP%20G62-227CL&Cat=RAM
Your machine supports both and the 1333 Mz will be faster, but you won't really notice the speed difference.

All of what you wrote - I understand that. But understand and you - the replacement of the processor is required because performance lacking. For a new book i haven't money. You are employee of HP and really can help asking the question to someone of your colleagues who will know exactly whether to run the new AMD processors in my notebook. All my notebooks have been made HP I always helped the company - buying its products, help you and me now. I'm not asking for much - just a concrete answer - will work or not?
No!! That is where you are wrong. I am not an HP employee.
Very few of us here in the forums are HP Employees. Those that are, with very few exceptions, are here volunteering their own time to help owners of HP products. This is a peer to peer forum where owners of HP products share their time and expertise helping others who need help. We are here to help. We are helping as volunteers.
There is no concrete answer on this. Sometimes an upgrade to an unsupported CPU will work, but most often it will fail. Read my previous posts. The risk of whatever currency you use in your country to purchase the new CPU is yours, not mine nor HP's.
Here is a solid answer for you...Use a CPU that is in the list in the Maintenence & Service Guide and your upgrade success chance will go up dramatically. I cannot say your upgrade success will be guaranteed because there is always the chance that you may break something during assembly/disassembly or be unaware of a critical assembly/disassembly procedure and inadvertently destroy your new CPU.
If you want a high performance CPU and chipset in a laptop then choose well when making a laptop purchase. Laptop/notebooks are actually not meant to be upgraded.

Upgrading processor of HP 630 notebook

Please what do i require to upgrade the processor of my notebook from the current:
model LH359EA with pentium R cpu P6200 @ 2.13 Ghz to an i3 or i5 processor.
Can I just buy the processor accesories and install directly?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here is the Service Manual:
Manual
The best processor you can install is a Intel® Dual Core i5-2540M 2.60-GHz processor (SC turbo up to 3.30-GHz; 3.0-
MB L3 cache, 35 W)
Yes, this is a "drop-in" replacement and if you can follow the Manual you can open it up and swap the CPUs.
Here is the CPU on eBay:

It is not the easiest thing to do. I would encourage you to consider a RAM upgrade or solid state drive before trying to change a processor, but the bottom line is it can be done and in your case would probably yield a good speed improvement.

Upgrade CPU AMD E-300( 1.3ghz) for laptop HP 2000

Can I upgrade CPU for laptop HP 2000 .? change CPU for this...? impossible.?
Thanks a lot...I want to help

Hello santalucia1992. I understand you're wondering if you can upgrade the CPU in your notebook.
On some models of notebooks it is possible (though, not recommended) to upgrade your CPU. The problems you could run into are heat concerns and power consumption concerns. The cooling system for the notebook was designed with specific parts in mind and a faster CPU will create more heat. Also, the notebook's power supply was meant to handle a specific amount of power as well. A faster CPU will generally use more power. Also, some CPUs are soldered to the motherboard. This means that replacing the CPU means a full motherboard replacement.
In order to look up more specific information about the notebook I'll need your product number. I can use this to view what parts are available. This will give me a good idea whether or not the upgrade is possible. This document can show you where the product number is located.
I will keep an eye out for your response. I hope you're having an excellent day!

Is it still possible to upgrade CPU on a G4 400MHz Titanium Powerbook?

I have a Titanium PowerBook G4 model (M7952) with a 17 inch screen, originally purchased in 2001. Over recent years I have successfully upgraded the hard drive to 128GB and the memory to 1GB SDRAM.
However, I have recently purchased Leopard and attempted to upgrade the system without first checking -and subsequently discovering - that my CPU speed is inadequate (currently only 400MHz, wheras required minimum for Leopard is 867MHz).
If anyone can advise me whether it is still possible to upgrade the processor on this particular model to the required specification for running Leopard - my initial searches have appeared to indicate this may not be possible - I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Steve

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Even if it is possible, you won't be improving the system bus of the machine, so there will always be a bottleneck. Also software updates may not perform right, as the system is really only designed for built-in processor 867 Mhz or higher G4s, and not upgraded CPUs. Upgrade CPU support has to come entirely from the CPU vendor that supplies the upgrade for firmware updates, and compatibility. Essentially you will be creating yourself a jalopy. 10.4.11 is the max that will ron a 400 Mhz G4 reliably.

HP G62 Battery causes slow boot - take battery out and boots normally - HP G62-340US Notebook

All,
Very strange thing going on, and I've not seen it on these forums, so here I go.
Turn on laptop, the HP screen appears, and about 20 minutes later, Windows starts loading.
Turn off laptop, pull the battery, turn on the laptop, and Windows starts loading within 10 seconds (normal).
When the battery is in, EVERYTHING takes 15-20 minutes to start. If I select F2 for settings, it takes that long. If I hit F10 (or possibly F8), same delay. If I take the battery out, it works perfectly.
So....I of course assume bad battery......but I've never seen this type of behavoir in ANY computer previously.
Any suggestions?

HP G62-b13SA Notebook - "Plugged in, not charging"

Hi,
I have an issue with charging my HP HP G62-b13SA Notebook PC (on Windows 7 Home Premium). I've noticed that when I plug in the adapter, the icon says 'plugged in, not charging'.
However, I notice that sometimes it will charge for between a few seconds to about a minute (when I first connect the charger) with the orange light showing before I get the 'not charging' message and the light turns blue.
I have had the laptop for nearly 3 years and recently had to purchase a replacement battery as the original had gone completely flat.
I've tried running the battery down and charging it, but no luck and the HP support assistant said the battery is ok
Thanks,
Jonathon

Hi @Lewistrick
Thank you for your query.
I grasp that until a few days ago your battery was working well but now it will not charge. You followed some suggestion in the forum but they did not help.
You ran the battery test and were informed you need to replace this one. You are concerned that the test may be faulty and that you do not need to replace it.
Here are two documents to help you understand battery life and provides an alternative method to test the battery to ensure the first test was correct.

I went ahead to download a pdf format of its specs and under Additional Information, I read: Country of Origin=China.
Does this mean the notebook was manufactured in China?
