How to change the processor and motherboard in my Dell1525?

Need links to instructions or advice on how to do it.

I want to put in a Duo Core 2 2.4ghzHow to change the processor and motherboard in my Dell1525?It is unfortunately likely impossible to change the motherboard, but as mentioned before the chip CAN be replaced. The reason for this is that mobos for laptops are designed specifically for the OEM it is installed into. Most laptop CPUs can be accessed either under the backing or under the ram cover, I would first remove the ram cover first to see if the chip is accessible from here, if not then you have a long night ahead of you, oftenly removing the entire bottom cover from a laptop requires you remove ALL of the underbelly screws as well as the rear screws, the screen bezel screws, the screws underneath the battery and in some cases the keyboard must be removed and a few have to be removed underneath this (immediately following removing the bezel screws). A good start would be a tackle box to organize and label all of the screws as chances are quite a few of them will be of all different lengths. To remove the processor you will need a large (#9) jeweler screwdriver and you will need to rotate the screw counter clockwise. Make sure before you install the new chip that you procure a grounding strip because processors are ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive.How to change the processor and motherboard in my Dell1525?Doesn't Dell offer 24/7 phone assistance? Why not call them? They can probably help you. Good luck.How to change the processor and motherboard in my Dell1525?I assume you mean the inspiron 1525 laptop? laptops CANNOT upgrade motherboards or processors...period sorry but that's one of the advantages of desktops is you can upgrade instead of buying a new one. ( but dell even makes upgrading desktops hard....but that's another story.)
