Good evening and welcome to the community.

For reference, you can browse your Manual of Maintenance of equipment.

Page 80 shows that the CPU is half bridge (welded vs) on the system board, which is good, but it is almost a complete disassembly just to get to work. Pages 102 and 103 show different processors (point 18) who were the available configurations. For Intel Core CPU, it seems that there are a number of i5s and i7 - 2620M was the maximum.

I hope this helps.

  • The upgrade of my Lenovo E420

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my laptop hardware E420 total increase my performance, to speed up my computer.  My question is, what are all the things I can spend?

    I know that cpu and gpu, you can't.  I've already updated my ram from 4 GB to 8 GB

    IAM thinking about upgrading my hard drive 5400 RPM HARD drive at 7200 RPM HARD drive.  Is this possible?  If so, can I just buy any HARD 7200 RPM disk and install in my laptop?  Are there any other HARD drive speeds I can get?   (don't want SSD btw)

    In addition, can what other things I put?

    It's good to hear that the post helped.

    I checked the user for E420 Guide, but there was no statement on the change of the CPU.

    Instead, this article on PCWorld may help you:
    http://www.PCWorld.com/article/148910/replace_your_laptops_cpu.html if you are not experienced in the treatment of the components of the computer and do not want to take the risk of making mistakes, I suggest go you to the Lenovo's Service Center or a local hardware store.

    Good luck with it.

  • E420 and i7-2710QE?

    Hello. I was wondering if someone could tell me if the i7-2710QE would work in my e420. I've looked everywhere for an answer on that. I have the opportunity to buy one for only $65.00 and looking at the plug it would be a great upgrade to my i3-2410... Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    Link to processor

    http://Ark.Intel.com/Products/53472/Intel-Core-i7-2710QE-Processor-(6m-cache-2_10-GHz)

    1 superior PDT

    2. another package (rPGA988 vs rPGA988B), but worse yet different socket:

    FCPGA988 vs PPGA988

    Max you can hold in the E420 is i7 - 2620M and i7 - 2640M

    (I list the two second issue came with the 'second wave' of Sandy Bridge CPUs)

    TBH with $ 65, it is very cheap so buy it, try it and sell for more

    (for the future, for the moment there is no Ivy Bridge mobile CPUs published so I don't know which of these will work in E420)

    Hi Syed,

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

    I suggest you try to install the drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode and check if it works for you. I saw this troubleshooting procedure described working for other members of the community.

    Step 1: Download the driver for the Webcam from this link of Lenovo.

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS015018

    Step 2: Installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows:

    Welcome! Nick

    Note of the moderator; system type has been added to the object

    Hi kokein,

    1. EE 2.0 comes with preloaded Windows only, but if you have Win7 ultimate you could ask the ability of microsoft to upgrade "Windows anytime upgrade".

    2. you can use R & R to create the BACKUP disk, system recovery media creates a recovery drive Q. Please (DVD for your case) media note that those who are different.

    3. Once you have installed an operating system that changed the boot sector of your machine, you will lose the function of disc to disc. "Fn + F11" function.

    4. for the oversight of the feed, please make sure of course install driver of power manager and power management, and set up a profile that suits you the best

    -E420s must not all firmware updated. Please refer following web site and check whether the update is required.

    S ' Please use a soft cloth to clean the sensor.

Anyone knows what I can do to fix this or do I have to return my brand new computer?

  • No service after upgrade the server to 5.2 on El Capitan

    I have a web server that was doing very well until I left the 5.2 update suggested to install OS X Server. I can't get to broadcast web pages. Screen sharing works always and nothing has changed on the routers, etc.

    I restarted the server after the update and restarted the server itself several times but keep getting connection via a browser failures.

    I did the upgrade even on other servers as well as the upgrade of Sierra. This server is running El Capitan, and is the only one that gave me problems. 5.2 server is not compatible with El Capitan?

    Some additional info:

    I can connect to the server through ftp and other services; just no web service.

    Port tests show that port 80 is not blocked

    Using the IP address I can get to the window of the home server.

    Accessibility means no services available

    Websites is on and I can't find anything that is not defined in law or is different than before the update.

  • I've never done a Time Machine backup and I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Help!

    I'm a fool. After owning my Macbook for 5 years, I failed to make a single Time Machine backup. I just saved my essential to an external hard drive. I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Big mistake. I want to go back to iOS Capitan, but it does not seem possible. Now, my external hard drive is wiped clean (things are dark). What are my options? If I'm stuck with Sierra?

    If you have downloaded El Capitan, it should always be available in your purchases. Now, you will need to make a backup to backup your personal files.
