The i7 640M processor does work. I have it running in my HP G62 a23SA.

Also, unless you know for a fact that the i7-640M will indeed work (and I'm not saying it absolutely will not), you can't just say that what is listed in the manual is only what processors HP used in the notebook.

 

There are differences in the microcodes, and unless the BIOS has the microcode for the 640M (or there is a BIOS update which adds support), it will error out.

 

There is a Geekbench submission for a G62 running a i7-640M: http://browser.geekbench.com/geekbench3/1160501

I will most likely be ordering this CPU to upgrade my G62 so in due time I will try to post back to confirm this.

 

HP documentation should be regarded as a prodcut offering and not as a definitive compatibility list but ofc it is always safer to go with whatever is in the documentation.
