HP 2000 CPU Upgrade

[Keir]

I have a HP 2000 laptop. Running an Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3110M CPU @ 2.40GHz

Can I upgrade to a better CPU? Or is it soldered?

Product number: D1E12UA#ABA

Thanks

Hi there @Keir, 

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. 

I have read your post on the HP Support Forums and I understand that you are looking to upgrade your Processor. Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the HP 2000 Notebook PC. If you take a look at page 80 in Chapter 4, you will see that it shows you how to remove the Processor and also gives you a list of Intel Processor's that are compatible with your specific Notebook. 

For an upgrade to a better CPU you can use one of the following Compatible Intel Processors. 

Thank you for using the HP Support Forums!

Have a great day!

That does not look right. Wring series of processor for one reason and the memory speed is not right. If the processor is not soldered the i think it would be i5 3320m series as the fastest processor on this hp.

Hi there @Keir, 

Here is the HP 2000 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide document. This document is the document I got the information from for your Notebook PC. 

If you look at Chapter 4, Page 80 titled "Processors" you will find the information listed there. 

Hope this helps. 🙂

But you are sayibg that second gen i 5 processors are the fastest. This is a third gen machine.

 Third gen i3 is going to be about the same speed as a 2nd gen i5.

That document is for a second gen it does not even list a third gen i3 in it so it cant be right since i have a i3 3110m thats not even in the manual you are linking to. I need the 3rd gen model manual.

Pretty sure the right manual is this one:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03575298.pdf

This lists my current processor the 3110M and would suggest I can go to a a 3230M. Which would be about a 30% improvement in performance so worthwhile

That aboce link was when a user was asking the same question about a 2000-2D29DX. I have 2000-2C20DX - the motherboards are the same from what I can work out (least from listing on ebay they are the same).

Can someone confirm that I am correct in this ?

[Keir]

correction I have a 2c25DX.

Here is the Manual:

i5-3230M is the top processor. See page 17.
