Have a great day!

I recently installed the AMD a10 4600M in my HP Pavillion g6 in replacement for the AMD E2 3000M but it wont turn on, the power light comes on for a second then turns off again, but it works fine again with the old CPU in.
Any way to fix this? Would it be a BIOS probem?
Thanks

Hi, firstly apologies for the necropost, but this topic is precisely what I want to ask about.
I have an HP - Pavilion g6-1241sa and looking at the service manual, linked to previously in this thread, the best upgrade option is the Intel® Core™ i7-2620M processor. I can get a refurbished one easily enough and I have had the lappy apart twice before, to replace the fan and the screen, so a quick youtube check later and replacing the CPU seems simple enough, but before I start messing about with something so important to the function of my laptop I thought I'd better check if there is anything I have missed.
So is there any reason why I cannot just drop in a refurbished Intel® Core™ i7-2620M to my Pavilion g6-1241sa motherboard, with apropriate thermal silicone clean off and replacement, and expect it to work?
