Can I upgrade my pentium t4200 processor at CQ40 laptops?

Hi, I have one question. Can I upgrade my CQ40 processor? what processor can I install from my t4200 for?

Hi:

It depends on what model Intel chipset your notebook has.

Use the free utility that I zipped up and attached below to identify the chipset your notebook has.

Either post a screen shot of the chipset report, or let me know if it has either a GM or PM45 chipset, or a GL40 chipset.

There is written mine processor is GM45/GM47

Hi:

Since your notebook has the GM45 chipset you can upgrade as high as the T9600 processor.

Below is the link to the service manual.  The list of supported processors is in chapter 1, page 1.

What should I prepare for the process of install a new processor? tell me for the step by step please

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to help you with that, since I have never upgraded a notebook processor before.

There is a complete set of steps to replace the processor in the service manual I posted above, in chapter 4.

Thank you so much for the information that you give to me
