HP Pavilion G71-358NR Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide

[TJ8799]

I am looking for the  Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide  for the HP Pavilion g71-358NR laptop 

I wanted to see if it is a G1 socket like the G72 is for a Processor upgrade but I see no  Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide for the HP G71-358NR model I see ones that say only HP G71 and nothing else

It has a 2.20GHz  Intel core 2 Duo now wondering if I can put a Intel Core i5-520M SLBNB  in it

Thank you

Todd

Hi, Todd:

This is the only service manual available for the entire model series and has the list of supported processors.

Your notebook's Intel series 4 chipset does not support any Intel 1st generation core processors.

Those require an Intel series 5 chipset.

So then the one it has in the 2.20GHz is the fastest it will support

Thank you for the help with this

You're very welcome, Todd.

Run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below and it will let you know the chipset your notebook has.

If it has the Mobile Intel GL40 chipset, you could if you want, install the T9500 processor.

If it has the Mobile Intel GM45 chipset, you could install the P8700 that is listed in the service manual.

Great Thank you again

Anytime, Todd.

Glad to have been of assistance.

I was thinking that if your notebook happens to have the GM45 chipset you can probably install the T9900 in it, because the chipset supports that processor.

The P8700 is probably just what HP offered in the model series.

The GL40 chipset can only support processors with an 800 MHz FSB, so the T9500 is the fastest one with an 800 MHz FSB.

Since the report shows your notebook has the Intel GM45 chipset, you should be able to install the T9900 or any of the processors listed in chapter 1 of the service manual for the HP notebook I have, which also has the GM45 chipset.
