Toshiba C55-B5200 Upgrades

[fgoguen]

I have upgraded or updated many a laptop, I have found that this laptop can be upgraded to 16gb ram 2x8gb ddr3L 1600 memory, my question is that it currently has the i3 4005u cpu (haswell) can this be upgraded to possibly the 3-4000M or i3-4030U , being that this laptop is out of warranty maybe a low end i5 a possibility?

Hi, your CPU is using the socket FCBGA1168, so, it's soldered on the motherboard, you can't change it.

Thank You for the fast response, not really a big issue with it being soldered to the board just means enhancing the lap top in a different way, will now upgrade the hard drive to a ssd for better access times.
