Hi:
The processor is an integral part of the motherboard, and the only way to upgrade it would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.
Your notebook has the best processor available in the model series, so there aren't any better motherboards you can install.
