[SOLVED] Want to upgrade cpu on Toshiba L505-ES5034

[alex.enrique.tovar]

I have a Satellite L505-ES5034 with a i3 330m processor. The chipset is an Intel HM55. Bios is an Inside 1.40. I wanted to know what processor can i upgrade too. I been searching online and can't find a solid answer. Closes answer i came too was to use an i5 540m or an i7 620m. I would appriciate your help.

Most CPUs are soldered onto the board, making them impossible to upgrade. Also, Toshiba does not support the upgrade, and there is a very limited scope to upgrade.

I would not risk the upgrade as it is a very complicated process. Consider buying a new laptop?

Thank you ArchitSahu for your quick response.
I guess I'll just upgrade to an sdd. Didn't need the upgrade but since older cpu's are getting cheaper, i just thought I can upgrade. Oh, by the way my i3 is not soldered onto the board. Thanks again
