My son has a HP Pavilion dv6 2150us Entertainment laptop with an i3-330m cpu on a Socket G/rPGA 989 motherboard and would like to upgrade the CPU if possible.
We upgraded the HDD from the 320gb Hitachi & 4gb RAM it came with to a 750gb WD Scorpio Black & 8gb GSkill 204 pin PC3-10600 RAM and it's running great, but we also wanted to see about upgrading the CPU.
We've disassembled the laptop to take a look at the motherboard and CPU socket assembly and reassembled it to working order, so we can get a better CPU installed if it works on this motherboard.
We'd like to find out if a faster Arrandale i5-560m would work with this HP Pavilion dv6 2150us motherboard & BIOS like the current i3-330m it came with. We've done some Google searches and also looked for other threads on Tom's Hardware and found some information but so far what we've found has been relatively general or unclear.

Does anyone happen to know if an Arrandale i5-560m that works in the Socket G1 rPGA 988A also fit and work correctly in a Socket G/rPGA 989 motherboard with the BIOS for the HP Pavilion dv6 2150us Entertainment laptop?
Thanks for your help,
