Hi:

 

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded unless you replace the motherboard with one that is listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.

 

The cost of the motherboard alone (if you could find the part), would most likely exceed the cost that you paid for your notebook.
