Hello people.

I have an 8440p elitebook hp with an I5 processor that I would like to replace with an I7 with the same G1 socket.
when I make the change, it will not start. the screen does not light up.
do you think I can do something or do I have to change the motherboard?

thanking you in advance.

Hello, sorry for the delay of my answer.
I do not understand your question. I am French and the translation is not good.
when I replace my cpu I5 G1 with a cpu I7 G1, I have a black screen at startup.
do you think he needs to update the bios?
I currently have the bios 'original' which is provided on the official website HP.
I know that there is a version of the 8440p elitebook in I7.
thanking you
