Upgrading a laptop CPU

[jpwp1]

I want to upgrade my CPU from a Intel Celeron 1000M with an Intel i5 3380M, can anyone help with this, i'm not doing it myself but I want to know if it is possible and any risk.

thanks for any help

You probably can't do this because the Celeron 1000M would fit in a different CPU socket than the i5-3380M. You need to find out the socket your CPU fits in and purchase a CPU that also fits in the same motherboard socket.

It has the same socket and TDP and the same TJunction

BTW it is a Toshiba C850-1G2

Without a cpu support list, it's anyone's guess. Contact toshiba asking if it accepts the cpu or ask for a cpu support list.

Is it a ball grid array or pin grid array socket?

That's info you can just google.

Sure you can, but it is the original posters job to supply these details if he wants an answer not the forum participants.

The job of the op is to supply sufficient details so that we may give a solution. The info he gave was sufficient for me to give a solution so he did his job. Him stating they have the same tjunction tells me that he might not even know what bga and pga is so I won't even ask. Not unless they want to learn will I make them do any extra searching. I'll keep it simple and just give a solution.

It's PGA, guys.

As far as I know, PGA is removable, while BGA is soldered but it might be the other way around.
