A8-3520M is the best compatible processor.

thanks Huffer the manual is really helpful, but i think i will go with the AMD A6-3420M it is sold for less then $8.

I was trying to compare the voltage etc, going from the A6 upto the A8-3520M you mentioned. A friend suggested I might need to flash the BIOS or at minimum adjust the power settings. Can you advise?

[Huffer]

Flashing the BIOS is not absolutely necessary but not a bad idea just on general principle. You do not need to mess with any power settings. HP sold this laptop using the same motherboard with an A8-3520M so it is set up to run that processor. It will be plug and play.
