Upgrading CPUs on Toshiba Laptops can it be done

[audi911]

Hey guys I have 2 questions.

Here is my scenario:

I currently have 2 Toshiba laptops

1) Toshiba Satellite C850 - PSCBWC-0Ek00J
2) Toshiba Satellite C650 - 07J (I don't have the PSC # in front of me)

I have a strategy which I am not sure will function.
On the C650 there is an Intel i3 processor, what I would like to do is take the i3 from this machine and put it into the C850 because it has a very slow Celeron chip. Once that is done I would like to know what the best chip I can get for the C650 would be. To my knowledge it would be the i7 640M.

From what I have read putting an i3 in the C850 seems to give issues. The main issue seems to be that the laptop shuts down after 30 minutes.

Would the C650 have the same issue with upgrading the chip.

I am aware that the power consumption for higher chips is more.

My questions are the following

1) Has anyone ever successfully put an i3 inside a C850
2) Has anyone ever successfully upgraded their C650 Chip and to what?

Usually with laptops, most of them are not upgradable because their processors is soldered(or sticked) into the motherboard. Have you actually check inside to see it does?
No, it's almost rare from anyone upgraded their processor in a laptop successfully. Usually in takes great skill because the designs are very complex.

No this chip is not soldered to the board.

Thats great for you but good luck for your upgrade!

Anyone know if this is a bad idea.
I currently have a toshiba c650.
I was looking through the compatible list of cpus for this motherboard
http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20G2%20(rPGA988B).html
I noticed that the ivy bridge i7-3632qm is compatible.


Anyone know if this will work on this board?
I would be jumping from an i3-2350m (dual core) to an i7-3632qm quad core.
One is a sandy bridge the latter is an ivy bridge.
They both have 35TPD as their power consumption.
Also the i3 runs at 32nm while the ivy runs at 22nm technology.
I'm wondering if the heat on the i7 would be too much for the laptop to handle??
