you can use any SOCKET P core 2 duo from the T5250, T5450, or higher,,, i'm using a T5450... but you should be able to use a T7250 and possibily a T7300 or higher (but it might not use the 800 mzh FSB) i've not heard much about people putting in the T7XXX processors, but any T5XXX series should work fine just make sure you use a SOCKET P... if you need more help PM me and i'll get back to you..


as far as opening the laptop, to replace the ram should be a VERY EASY procedure, just remove the large cover on the bottom of the laptop., usually involves about 4 screws...

Before we dissamble,, unhook the POWER CABLE, REMOVE THE BATTERY,, then PRESS THE POWER BUTTON to drain any residual power from the MB's capicitors..... (NOW THE FUN BEGINS)

1. remove screws 1 at a time.... turn laptop right side up and shake lightly till the screw falls out, repete for each screw one at a time ( prevents lost screws)...

2. with screws removed, use fingernail or small screwdriver to prise the large cover up slightly (raise (bow) plastic in center) this will help moving plastic catches out of thier mounting holes with out damaging them.

3. with cover removed you should see the RAM (DIMMS). to remove the installed DIMMS there are catches on each end of the DIMM cards, softly press the catches away from the dimms, and then the first dim should be easy to remove by softly raising the dimm up about 30 degrees. then pull the DIMM out of the slot....

4. repeat step 3 for the other dimm which should have been under the first (the one you just removed.

5. replace a NEW dimm in the slot up just emptied,,, make sure it is pushed all the way in to the socket, then push down until it locks back in place.

6. now replace the new memory in the the TOP/FIRST dimm socket you emptied. follow steps in #5.

7. After making sure that all ram is seated properly, it is time to replace the bottom cover/access pannel. no need to replace the 4 screws until the unit has been tested and boots properly.

8. plug up AC power cord... turn on unit press f2 to enter BIOS... check that the RAM reported matches the ammount installed.

9. if so then shut down the laptop,,, and re install all the screws into the the bottom access pannel., then replace the battery.


that should do it
