Hi:
The processor is an integral part of the motherboard, and cannot be upgraded unless the motherboard is replaced with one listed in your notebook's service manual that has support for a better processor.
IMHO, it would not be worth replacing the motherboard as it would probably be pretty expensive to do.
You would need to replace the motherboard and then buy a processor and according to the manual, the best processor you can install would be the Intel Core i5 3230M.
