after may years of honorable service my pavilion dv6 does not boot anymore. i tried already the hard reset but without success. the capslock blinks regulary once so according the table from hp i found should be a failed cpu. i want to replace it but i am not able to find the correct cpu number in order to get the right cpu.
it my model is xd633ea#abx dv6 3156sl. the cpu should be AMD Phenom II Quad Core N930 2,0 GHz.

i found on sale an amd HMN930DCR42GM but i am not sure if it is ok. does anybody if it is correct or how to find the right cpu number? thanks.
 
I did not see any upgrade support page over at hp so that maybe the only chip used in them ??? its hard to think the cpu failed on its own ?? maybe more to that then meets the eye in the end ??
