Question CPU Upgrade Presario CQ61-217TU

Hello

Laptop model: CQ61-217TU

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&LC=en&product=4004988

Laptop REPAIR:
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01740724.PDF

P/N:
VJ994PA #ABG

BIOS:

F.23 Latest (available)

Old central processing unit:

Celeron 900 @ 2.2GHz/1MB/800MHz

http://www.CPU-world.com/sSpec/SL/SLGLQ.html

New processors:

Core2Duo P8700 @ 2.53GHz/3MB/1066MHz

http://www.CPU-world.com/sSpec/SL/SLGFE.html

OPERATING SYSTEM:

Win7 Pro SP1 x 64

-----------------------------------------------------

Here goes...

After reading page 1 of the above maintenance manual, it seems that I could improve my laptop for the P8700 (SLGFE) CPU.
After trying 3 processors from eBay - no work!  All were sold as work - surely they can't all be losers!

Laptop updated from the BIOS F.8 F.23 before the first attempt to upgrade and confirmed in Windows.

3 x P8700 inserted and reassembled, powers mobile place very well but don't post.

PC starts and works very well with old CPU then reinserted.

During the inspection of the old CPU - Celeron - 900 (SLGLQ), it seems that it is not in the maintenance manual either.
I can't find the motherboard jumpers or dip switches, so that rules out...

What I'm missing here?

Should I try to acquire the T6600 CPU because I know as work processors 800 MHz bus or establishing a hypothesis too?

I found this thread:

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/CQ61-217TU-processor-upgrade/TD-p/415158...
But when I navigate to the forums, I'm back to the page of the United States?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-Mike

p.s. I think that my dog knows also how drop-down a CQ61 now ;-)

If you want it to run with a processor upgrade can use only the HP part with a guarantee. They are currently quite inexpensive. The followin link shows one I found.

    Apparently, all of the aforementioned processors are compatible with my system, but some are only compatible with some models (model i.e. 1.1 and 1.2).  How can I determine which model I have and what processor will give me the best output for my money?

    As always, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It may "work", but as I said the GL40 simply has no circuits to take full advantage of the advanced features of the high range processors. Also no he don't mention not all i-series processors in the list. They are all Core 2 Duo T4200 except. Your Celeron 900 is one heart. Even a Pentium dual as say the T4200 will be much better and will be fully compatible with the GL40 chipset and very cheap to start.

  • Satellite A10: Question CPU Upgrade

    I want to improve my laptop with a new processor.
    (Material) socket ist a 479. But when I ask about my current CPU Intel, he said my it's a 478.
    The Chipset is an Intel 852/855 GM/GME, Intel ChipsetUtility.

    I'm a bit confused on the different data on the socket.
    With processors will fit?

    Hello

    I m not sure about the CPU socket in the Satellite A10 but I use the tool called Everest home edition and this tool provides all the necessary information on the type of socket and other important information from the CPU.

    But as far as I know the Satellite A10 and Pro A10 has been bundled with hardware specifications different and different CPU's.
    It seems the Pentium 4-M Intel and the Intel Mobile Celeron CPUS are compatible:

    Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M model
    Basic operation a processor 1.80/1.90/2.00/2.20GHz Pentium 4 with clock internally 1.80/1.90/2.00/2.20/1.20GHz, 400 MHz bus, and 1.30/1.20V
    Mobile Intel Celeron model
    Basic operation of bus 400 MHz, a 1.80/2.00/2.20GHz with a clock Celeron processor internal 1.80/2.00/2.20GHz and 1.30V

    But I put really recommend t the upgrade of the CPU.
    As far as I know the firmware must be updated after the replacement of the processor and motherboard. If you n updated microcode t the CPU will run only at 600 Mhz.

    Be careful!

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

    See: http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SLGJN.html

    The options available in the link of the CQ60 User Guide: point 13 down:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02985882.PDF

    relate only to the:

    CPU T3200 http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/QB/QBNT.html

    and CPU T3400 http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/QG/QGFM.html

    processors respectively both with a 667 Mhz front bus and 1 MB of L2 cache

    The question is what the CPU can be used as a possible substitute for a performance on the T4200 gain?

    The following text appears to be very similar to the T4200, but roll up a gear clock spec. None of them would be viable and of course even wouldn't she do on such an older machine now? The BIOS would support a higher clocked CPU speed?

    T4300 (2.1 GHz), T4400 (2.2 Ghz), T4500 (2.3 Ghz), - all ran 800 Mhz bus speed and 1 MB of L2 cache

    CPU is not mentioned on any other ideas that could also work with the specified above mother card would also be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Yes, there is a point in going more slowly so that your pc supports dual channel.
    You have 800 MHz if you hace two-channel memory will clock at 533 Mhz and then multiplied twice which is 1066 Mhz
    It is a parameter which allocates memory of your cpu (long story)
    and as I can see, your PCH supports 1066 Mhz which will make it intresting.

  • Questions about upgrading a Compaq Presario CQ5205Y desktop computer system

    Good evening

    I'm about to embark on my first serious upgrade of my computer, and I thought it would be a good idea to arrive before I get too far down the rabbit hole (and knocked out my Internet access).  What motivates the need to upgrade, it's that the system tends to lag when I programs using a lot of memory running and I think I can give him a decent boost on reasonably low budget.

    I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5205Y Win7-64 bit without modification until running.  I'm lookin to upgrade the CPU and the RAM of the machine.  For ease of reference, here is the page describing the system:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01859812&lang=en&cc=us&Conte...

    For the CPU, I found a good price on an AMD Phenom X 4 9750 2.4 GHz Quad-Core CPU (HD9750WCJ4BGH).  What I read, it meets the necessary criteria (socket AM2 + 95W, etc.).  I still need to determine if it needs a fan or non - language marketing indicates that it is not), but assuming that it works, here are my questions for this update:

    1 should I update the BIOS on the card, or change one of its parameters to recognize the new chip?

    2. with regard to the installation, I think that it's pretty simple - unlock/remove the Semprom LE-1300 that is there now, carefully align the new processor Phenom X 4 (Golden to golden triangle triangle) and tighten in place. Then, if necessary, install the fan/radiator.  Is this correct, or am I missing something important and potentially catastrophic?

    For the RAM, I have not bought, but I think I need barrettes 2x2gb DDR2 memory unbuffered, non - ECC memory.  I'm showing my ignorance here, but I imagine that rain is better in this case and is much better than the PC2-5300 memory PC2-6400.  If Yes, then maybe something like (or more affordable if I can find it):

    http://www.TigerDirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6252562&CSID=_61

    Once again, a couple of very similar questions:

    1. do I need to change BIOS settings after I installed memory or if the automatic detection system?

    2. I swapped memory on other computers before so I guess that this motherboard is always the same - unclip/dethrone the existing memory, slide into the new and snap it in place.  Does this sound right?

    In my view, which covers everything I know, but if anyone has any other advice or warning indication, they would certainly be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for help a beginner brave new waters.

    Processor:

    (1) no updated BIOS available for this model

    (2) more or less correct... you will need a HSF (heatsink & fan) for the new processor and a thermal paste. After the installation of the CPU, you apply the thermal is dedicated to the then install the HSF. The stock will be Sempron HSF to adapt and work but can not dissipate the extra heat

    (3) it is one of these models that will accept AM3 Athlon II and Phenom II CPU (see CPU upgrade in specs), but if it is supported depends on the revision of the motherboard and the BIOS version. Your choice of Phenom 9750 is a sure way to go

    Memory:

    (1) once again, no BIOS update available for this model

    (2) sounds right

    (3) you can look at Newegg.com best prices

  • 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

    How do you know that the CPU no longer works? It's much, much more likely to be the motherboard.

    You will need this anyway:

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA: upgrade the Compaq CQ61 wireless card

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA, running 64-bit Windows 7 application. The current wireless card only works on the 2.4 Ghz band and I want to upgrade to a dual band to get the best speed etc. to 5 GHz. I have an Intel Centrino N6230 of replacement card, but the phone will not accept anything other than the default map. At the start, it stops with an error message saying that it will not continue unless the "unauthorized device" is deleted. If I re - install the original wireless card, it starts and works very well, but this is not the point, I would like to update.

    I guess that the default is to lock the part of the BIOS of the laptop to prevent alteration unauthorized with laptop computers under warranty, but mine is well outside the guarantee.

    I know that the card works because I installed it in my laptop previous and I have been in electronics for 30 years and spent about 5 years of this repair of computers laptops, desktops, servers, etc so I'm sure that I am able to connect a card and the driver installation!

    There does anyone know a way around the block? I won't to be able to upgrade the laptop without it.

    Anyone?

    Do not completely blame HP, but it was little 1984 involving your federal Government. HP and Lenovo read a few Federal Communications Comm regs on the recording of radio portable wireless (including the computer wifi cards) to require that alternative cards are blocked. Other laptop makers has not agreed and now the 'white list' is history, but there is no effort to go back and make new BIOS for older models.

    HP wireless card versions have specific identification in the firmware looking for the HP whitelist before clearing the map to use if you use the version of HP. I looked pretty hard for a version of HP of the card and the one I linked is everything I could find. Google around and you can do better.

  • 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.

    Hello.

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-529 and I want to change my Celeron M 380 for something better, but I don't know what the CPU can insert to this computer.

    When I was looking for similar templates I got same CPU with the same chipset. I don't know how to take apart my Toshiba CPU and change, I also have the latest BIOS.

    Technical details are in links with screenshots.
    What the best processor I can use on this computer?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    As Akuma already written, you can choose a CPU of the other models. Look on the lower side to identify your model number.

    But don t forget that the CPU upgrade is risky. No one has tested this before CPU in your laptop and my cause overheating or something else. This upgrade is official not supported: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • 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:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=FAQ_BATTERY_EN

    I hope I could help
