Switching processors

[lucarai]

Can I switch the processor of a Toshiba Satellite A205 to a Toshiba Satellite L305?

The socket is supported. But I don't know if your motherboard will. You will need to check that the BIOS has an updated recent enough that surpasses the release of the L305 processor.

Now how will I take the two apart?

Agreed. You should know that there are risks to attempting a CPU upgrade on laptops.

Well I got the A205's motherboard out and I can't figure out how to take out the cpu

 

[lucarai]

And I do know theres risks but these laptops I don't even need to use anymore so this is just a sideproject.
