HP Pavilion DV6000 CPU upgrade question

Hi, first post.

Just given a free laptop DV6000 and I like to tinker. Have built & modified several jobs over the years, but this is my first laptop.

Identify the first thing. Top screen bezel page HR said HP Pavilion DV6000

Said a slogan on bottom DV6700, but also DV6818CA (isn't it a Canadian cell phone, with a bilingual keyboard).

I think I'll give up the bilingual keyboard, because it lacks the F10 key they resemble only 15 dollars off Ebay in any case.

BUT, when I did a scan on Crucial.com memory, they said it was a Pavilion dv6700t series

Product # background is: KN948UA #ABC if this is useful it nail?

Googling the product # gives this hit: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01393353

It has 4 GB of RAM in it, right now and is under Win7 Home Premium.

I think to get the fastest processor that the Mobo can handle and stick it in there. At present, it has a @1 T2370. 73 Ghz, and from what I understand, I can put in the processor the faster is a T7800 @ 2.6 Ghz (if I read correctly)

Advice or direct experience anyone? Thanks in advance.

Oh, and PS, I had read that an update of the BIOS when running Win7 would brick of the PC, is it true?

I can easily get back to Vista and do an update of the BIOS in the first place, if necessary, the new processor, then reinstall Win7.

My BIOS version is F.52 24/03/2008

Hello:

I must have missed reading your post.

It's because I don't watch that normally messages unanswered, and yours is as responded because you posted more than once until I woke up the next morning.

Your laptop may actually take the T9500 since you have an equal or superior to F.45 bios.

The release notes for F.45 State... Adds support for Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile Processors T8100, T8300, T9300, T9500.  Fixes the problem where the 1394 port may not work after the release of the standby mode.

Yes, you will definitely your laptop brick if you update the BIOS while running Windows 7.  You need to Flash the BIOS in Vista.

Memory... Yes, your PC will work happily 2 x 4 GB PC2 - 5300 or memory 6400. However, unlike the desktop version of the 965 chipset that manages the memory at 800 MHz, the mobile version runs only the memory at 667 MHz.

You can read that this related thread about memory in dv6500 + Intel models with the 965 chipset.

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-e-g-Windows-8/the-dv6700z-and-dv9700z-will-support-over-4GB-of-RAM/m-p/566163#M42472

The bad news is that if you have not already this memory (or you can get it at a steep discount), you will pay over $ 200 for 2 x 4 GB for memory that you need.

I would think more than twice before shelling out that kind of $$$ for the memory of a dated PC.

  • HP Pavilion dv6104ea - CPU upgrade

    Hello I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv6104ea (DV6000 series) with the slower CPU, Intel Celeron M 420. I need to upgrade my CPU. What is the best processor I can put in a laptop? It's Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (SL9SF for Socket M)? I don't know of differences between versions of DV6000...

    http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-HP/Pavillion_dv6000_%28Intel%29.html

    One-piece CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, I tried, but it did not work. Now I don't know if it was a defective part or was not a supported type.

    Thank you

    Units with Celeron processors have a card mother defeatured, who will not support a Core 2 Duo processor. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 3-9. Celeron models have the 940GML chipset and it won't support a processor who has speed, not steps, which were the Core 2 Duo.

    You could install a Celeron 440 at best. 945GM motherboards are very hard to find these days. You can confirm the model of your motherboard by opening the slot of memory and research modules. It should be painted stencil here.

  • Qosmio X 300-130 PQX32E - CPU upgrade question

    Hello

    I'm thinkink of upgrading my CPU TOSHIBA QOSMIO X 300 - and searching the net I found that this is the most powerful processor can I upgrade to [Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300
    (Cache de 12 Mo, 2,53 GHz, BUS frontal à 1 066 MHz,)]

    so before you buy it I decided to ask here if someone did, and if it is really compatible

    My current setting

    Type of processor Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz
    Bus Type Intel AGTL +.
    CHIPSET: Intel Cantiga PM45
    Intel Montevina Platform

    Hello

    Updates are not officially supported
    But you can read here on the forum about updates and in many cases, the CPU upgrade was possible

    Always is there to check the compatibility of the chipset
    If the chipset would be compatible with the new processor, you've got a good chance to get it running

    The question is: would the BIOS supports the new processor?
    Answer is not easy because there is no information on the supported processors.

    Here are the details of Intel on the chipset:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/chipsets/35515

    Under compatible products, you can find the processors supported
    It looks like the Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300 (2.53 GHz, front side bus at 1066 MHz, 12 MB Cache) is supported by the chipset

  • Satellite Pro L20-PSL25E - CPU upgrade question

    Hello

    I upgraded the ram last year and im running high-performance for my model, 2.0 GB.

    This really helped for awhile, but after a few heavy programs have been installed this year (only one software, one game) ive noticed it running slow as before, its worth noting that my computer has adopted all the necessary specifications for both outside the game where im working on 1.7 ghz and it needs the least 2.0 ghz processor , and I'm short on speed slowest peformance of the game itself.

    The vehicle has currently a centrino pentium, keeping in mind a new portable computer is not in my budget, is it worth getting a new processor and which would be best?

    Thanks again, Rebecca.

    Hello

    My personal opinion is that Satellite L20 is not designed for heavy operations and is certainly not game machine. If you compare the price of Satellite and Satellite L laptops you'll understand why. I'm sure that this laptop is designed for Internet, office and simple every day activities.

    Upgrading RAM is very good and I'm sure it helps a lot but CPU upgrade is not the solution. Update CPU is not supported. You must also understand that each hardware platform is designed for optimal physical activity. Processor, graphics, cooling system and other hardware components must work without overheating and harmonic. Stronger CPU means more heat.

    In my opinion you should optimize operating system preinstalled software hoping you use will work better and more stable.

  • Satellite A50: Engraver of DVD & CPU upgrade questions

    Hi how far can upgrade my A 50 1.5 ghz centrino and Motherboard can't cos 1.5 dual-core is really not enough for me any more. I know there are a lot of problem on cpu upgrade but I need just to answer far?

    I also change my DVD burner to +/-dvd burner, and how I can do it. I also heard that toshiba recalls batery and I saw my model of laptop also on this list.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, but I don t think that the motherboard will support the new Dual Core CPU.
    It is a technology simply different and you should also know that the CPU upgrade on laptops is not very easy as on the desktop PC.
    AFAIK the A50 was delivered with different processors and must be compatible with the bus of 400 Mhz Intel Pentium M 1.5/1.6/1.7Ghz and bus of 400 Mhz Intel Celeron M 1.2/1.3/1.4Ghz.

    Anyway, as far as I know Toshiba doesn't support updates and you will not find any official information about updates and upgrade problems.
    I think that the biggest problem could be the highest temperature, BIOS and chipset compatibility. Furthermore it possible to some Toshiba tools such as energy saving does not work and the product overheats.

    If you want to upgrade or replace the CD/DVD drive, so I recommend that you first contact the service partner Toshiba for devices compatible and taken in charge.
    This is important because not all readers are supported by the BIOS.
    Portable players are set to master/slave or C - salt that is why it is very important that you will buy a drive to right. Drive with bad settings is not recognized by the BIOS, and there is no chance to change the master/slave or c - salt settings!

    Now something of the battery:
    Well, I read on the page Toshiba that only some laptops which were manufactured between March and May 2006 are affected.
    I recommend to check this site Web from Toshiba of the FAQ for more details:

  • Pavilion DV3-4060es: 4060es Pavilion DV3 CPU upgrade

    I tried to upgrade the laptop (pavilion dv3 4060es) i3 350M to i7 740QM cpu.

    When I plug the processor I get no video.

    I have the latest bios intalled (F.23, March 2016)

    The service manual indicates that the i7 740QM is a compatible processor.

    What is a compatible processor?

    What do I need to configure something in the BIOS before upgrade?

    No, you make a very common mistake. You cannot just look at the list of processors and assume that one of the processors will work in all versions of this series. Look at page 17 of the manual. Different system cards are listed as follows:

    For use only with Intel Quad Core processors 611348-001

    For use only with Dual Intel processors Core and Core2-599414-001

    For use only with Intel Quad Core processors (1 GB) 622627-001

    For use only with Dual Intel processors Core and Core2-622626-001

    So you need a motherboard Quad in order to install a Quad processor. The fan and the heat sink is the same. HP has more boards in stock so you would need to find one on eBay or contact an HP Reseller:

    https://parts.HP.com/hpparts/Search_Results.aspx?mscssid=01C0D3E563094BBDB6A52308534FEC3D & Searchin' = partnumber & SearchPN = 622627-001

    I took a quick glance and came to look empty, but a little harder could turn into something.

  • Re: Tecra M5 PTM51E - CPU upgrade question

    Hi, I have Tecra M5 PTM51E model with processor Yonah T2600 (2.16 ghz, 667fsb) core duo, a few days ago that I just replaced the processor with core 2 duo - Merom T7400 (2.16 ghz, fsb667) and everything works almost well... the processor is correctly recognized, I was able to install win7 64 bit.

    The only problem I have is the fan speed, it goes full speed laptop to stop, I have the latest BIOS 3.70, Toshiba Power Saver - no matter what I put the fan goes 100% speed, temperatures are ok, HWmonitor presents the 28-30 C idle and 60 in stress and fan was cleaned up during the replacement of the central processing unit.

    I guess I need media diagnosis/service of toshiba to set correct values for the speed of the fan on the processor?

    I appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

    > I upgraded the CPU. It works very well outside the CPU fan runs constantly at 100%

    You have installed a stronger CPU that is faster and produces more heat dissipation.
    It s nothing unusual that your fan runs faster.
    The cooling module must run more quickly to make sure that the CPU would be cooled properly.

    Is this possible and can you link me where to buy the right one which suitable to my laptop

    > Is it possible?
    Perhaps, in the case of the new processor would be supported by the BIOS and chipset, you ve got a good chance to upgrade the processor.
    But Toshiba but also other laptop manufacturers don t support these updates and so everything you do is at your own risk!

    First I would recommend you to get information about your chipset. Intel ARK page you might check what processors would be supported by the chipset.
    Fact is that this series of mobile were equipped with the Intel Dual Core CPU Intel Arrandale CPU family. In case you really want to try a new processor, I suggest you to choose one of this family.

    But beware: even if chipset would support the new processor, the BIOS can be one of the parties causing disorders. Unfortunately I haven't found any information which processors can be taken in charge by the BIOS
