Processor change on laptop

[Erki Peet]

Hello! I have a AMD E1-2100 APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics 1.00GHz processor on my laptop.
My question is can I change it to: INTEL® CELERON® G1840 2.8GHZ 2MB LGA1150 BX80646G1840SR1VK

 

[HEXiT]

no.

cannot do as 2 totally different manufacturers as in amd & intel like apples & oranges. only way to upgrade is to replace your motherboard that is compatible in fit to your laptop case.

 

[ffg7]

what is the make & model# of your laptop?

[USAFRet]

Your CPU appears to be a BGA socket. Soldered directly to the motherboard.
You cannot simply change that.

What is the exact make/model of your laptop?

But if I buy another AMD processor will it work? I just want it to run cs:go

 

[ffg7]

what is the make & model# of your laptop to see if can be replaced?

I have no ideas right now, where I can check it?

HP 255 G3 (u meant that?)

yes. http/h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c04314444

The E series are all soldered. Older A series mobile chips are upgradeable but Kaveri/Carrizo is not and most Intel chips aren't including almost all Celerons.

Yea, motherboard would need to be swapped as well. For the time, effort, and cost involved, it would make more sense to buy a different laptop, and sell that one. I have done CPU swaps, and other hardware repairs, on laptops, and it is not something I would recommend to just anyone.

So I can only use these processors here http/h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c04314444

Erki Peet, cpu is soldered to the motherboard as per my above link so cannot upgrade it. AMD Kerala (Kabini SoC APU, BGA)
get a new laptop or even better a desktop pc that is totally upgradeable as long as it is s no-name as in dell & others.

What you seek is possible.
There are 3 ways forward:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard:
1. Obtain bionic eye implants. One or both
2. Obtain robotic arms, capable of 0.20 mm precision
3. Find a new CPU, that is actually more powerful AND includes the graphics subsystem, of that same socket and pin number (769)
4. Swap the APU (this requires #1 & #2)
5. Rewrite the chipset and BIOS firmware to handle that new CPU
6. Create a new cooling system to handle the extra heat of the new, more powerful, CPU. This will involve a CNC machine and probably a 3D printer
7. Modify the power supply to handle the increased load of the new CPU
8. This will require a year or two of trial and error

Medium:
1. Obtain a whole new motherboard, with included more powerful APU already soldered on, that actually fits in that case and works with the screen
2. Swap them out
3. Purchase a new OS and install
4. This will require $$ equal to the below Easy level

Easy and recommended:
1. Sell that thing and buy a system that does what you want it to do
