cpu replacement

[eltecho_yqr]

I have an older notebook that had an AMD A6 3420 cpu.

The system gives one slow flash on the caps lock saying the cpu has a problem

socket is FS1

what cpu's does this board actually support for replacement/upgrade?

The processor slot on your motherboard can accept up to an A8-3520M and here is the Service Manual:

However, the problem is almost certainly not the processor but the motherboard.
