Pavilion dm3 upgrades?

‎09-21-2011 10:46 AM

I've got a dm3-3010us, the version with the dual core Pentium. I was wondering if it was possible to replace the processor with an i3 seeing as the computer was available with one, or if it is a different moterboard.

 

Also, does anybody know the part #, or where I can get a replacement backlit keyboard for it?

 

Thanks!

Unfortunatly the dual core processor will have to stay because the notebook's MB will not support an i3 processor.

 

 

As for a backlit keyboard I would suggest prusing www.notebookreview.com for tips & secrets that normally arent available for the notebook manufacturer
