You'd probably have better luck getting some advice on the Laptop forums.

Sometimes Bioses need to be updated before installing a new CPU, Sometimes they don't need to be updated at all and support most cpus in their chipset. What CPU are you planning on installing?

As noted previously, there is unlikely to be a new BIOS for this decade old laptop.
