Most of the laptops, unfortunately, feature the BGA socket for their laptop. Meaning the processors are soldered onto the socket and hence upgrading them is a pain to say the least. As mentioned earlier, CPU laptops are majority of the time soldered to the motherboard. In the BGA mounting type, the processor is permanently connected to the motherboard.
For this purpose, there are small solder balls under the CPU while the motherboard has small solder pads on it. However, you have to make sure that both the older and the newer processor also have the same socket on the motherboard. The easiest way to figure out the surface mounting type of your laptop CPU is to head over to the its technical specs. The BGA indicates the surface mounting type i. Hence, this CPU is not upgradeable.
Hence, this is upgradeable. Remove the display assembly—the entire apparatus of the screen—by taking out the screws on the bottom and back of the portable, and unplugging the video and Wi-Fi antenna cables pictured. Next, pull out the optical drive; this usually means depressing the latch on the bottom of the laptop and sliding the drive out sideways. Remove the upper shell by taking the screws holding it out of the bottom of the PC. As you lift the shell off of the chassis, make certain that no part of it is still attached to the bottom of the case or to the motherboard.
If it feels like you have to force it, that probably means either a screw is still in place or a clip remains to be unsnapped. Before continuing, back off and double-check your service manual to discover any well-hidden screws that may have eluded you. On our laptop, the preceding steps gave us access to the graphics card assembly, which we removed by loosening two screws.
The CPU sits beneath that card. With the graphics card out of the way, we removed four more screws to get the heat sink off and to expose the CPU itself, held in its socket by a single locking screw. Turn the screw clockwise to lock it. Let me know if that worked. If not, try replacing the processor again and see if that fixed the issue.
Very informative post! Is very nice somrbody is carry on to use old laptop! I have as well a npe5x and i was willing to upgrade the cpu and the ram currently a very old b and 6gb ram I think for the cpu your i7 will be fine as the models are very close as specs. But i have a question for you, i was searching information about the maximum ram support from my laptop, and i found different version, someone is saying 8gb and somebody else is saying 16gb.
Do you have any idea which is the right answer? Model is npe5x. Also after i replace the cpu i need to install anything? The drivers are already update to the latest. Let me know! Thank you. Thanks for the post. I am having HP 14q core i3 7th gen csTU. I have upgraded the ram to 12gb from 4gb. Can I upgrade the processor to i7? Can you please let me know if I can add any graphics card or not.
My wife use this laptop for graphics and video editing photoshops, lightroom, after effect, illustrator, premier pro. Hi Sudipta, Glad to have you as a reader! Processor upgrade gets tricky and needs lots of due-diligence because every manufacturer has different configuration on their motherboard.
So, No. Perhaps getting an SSD will give a boost! I thought of upgrading my RAM and Processor, could you please suggest me the best fit? Hi Shivanandana bhaiya I have an intel i3 process manufactured by hcl intel i but I am not able to find whether it is U or M or QM, it is not written after the processor name and anywhere, where can I find it?. Please, help! Do you think either of these processors would work for me?
So, it is worth giving a try. All the best!! Hi Sarang, glad you liked the post. For me, they are extinct. Who uses them these days anyways right? Hi, I need help with my laptop. Lenovo Ideapad isk. Please help. Hey Sej. These itself should significantly increase the performance! Thanks for you experience. Have you install a bios modded, for this upgrade?
Can I install cpu iM? The default bios should work with new processor. Give it a try. Keep your old i3 around just in case. Hi shivanandana I have dell laptop with intel -i5 g 1.
May be.
