changing cpu of dell inspiron 7567

[chungsae123]

i purchased a 7567 with a i5, but its pretty bad. i was thinking about buying a mobile processor i7 off ebay and replacing it myself. would this be possible on this laptop? i've never done anything like this before. thanks for the help.

The cpu is soldered to the motherboard so you'd have to replace the entire motherboard for one that has the i7 on it.

Is this for the 7567? i watched a youtube vid where the guy just takes the cpu out easily and replaces it with another. i thought it was just compatibility issues.

Dells specs show the i5 7300HQ and the i7 7700HQ as the options for the 7567. Both cpus are BGA which means they are soldered to the motherboard.
