Hi, @Alex6b04eg 

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

The processor is not soldered to the motherboard, and the best you processor you can upgrade to would be the Intel Core i7-2640M 2.80-GHz (SC turbo up to 3.50-GHz) processor (1333-MHz FSB, 4.0-MB L3 cache, dual core, 35 W), because the quad core processors use a different motherboard, according to chapter 3.
