What is my motherboard model?

[Daniel489]

Hello. I recently got a Laptop. An HP G62. I have heard great things about G62s. One thing though, I want to upgrade the CPU, and I have a problem. I cannot find the motherboard model / name in the G62. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time! 🙂

Hi,

The motherboard in your system is 

PCA UMA system board with modem and card reader                              592809–001

You can see on page 76 of service manual:

On page 1 you can see the various processors compatible with your system.

Hope it helps,
