I have a Intel® Core™ i5-2410M Processor in a HP Pavilion DV7 laptop, productnr LX262EA.

How do I find out whether its solderer or not? PGA or BGA. The processor supports both but I find a bit hard to find out without opening the machine.

Typically, and usually, laptop CPU's (m processors) are soldered. Usually the manual will tell you. If not, pop that sucker off and see for yourself. But I'm pretty sure it's soldered on.
