Acer Aspire 5736Z Motherboard and Processor Compatibility

Hi,

My Acer Aspire 5736Z has recently went down and I can't turn it on now (it was unexpectedly shutting down before until I couldn't turn it on one day). So I guess that my processor overheated and needs to be changed. But I have to test that before I buy a new one.
So, I'd like to know what processors are compatible with my motherboard PEW72 LA-6631P (MBRDD02001). I couldn't find the information on the internet or the Acer forums.

I also have an Acer TravelMate 5742ZG which has Intel P6100 processor (My Acer Aspire had Intel T4500). Can I put my P6100 to the motherboard mentioned above to test if the Aspire processor is not working? Or would that damage the working Travelmate processor?

Thanks in advance,
Petras

 

You can not test it with P6100 as they both have different pins, motherboard sockets are different, you can only replace T4500 with another compatible Socket P cpu.
There were others who upgraded their GL40 chipset laptops in this thread, you need to read through and find matching cpu.

Intel Pentium P6100 processor - - CP80617004125AL
Intel Pentium T4500 processor - - AW80577GG0521MA

 

It's not really possible for a CPU to get damaged as a result of overheating so you are looking at a wrong component.
Your CPU is most likely fine, your motherboard is most likely not.

 

Thanks for your answers, this solved a lot!
I will look for a mother board then (will be harder than I thought).
