    This is to anyone who performed or is going to perform a teardown for CPU replacement or will have the board exposed.

    The PLL is needed to get FSB overclocking, and will benefit everyone with any non-extreme chip (920xm).

    Method 4 here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=429383&highlight=PLL

    If you've taken it apart and you can't find the clock generator or the crystal. High-res shots of the board might enable us to find it. For FSB overclocking!

    I thought Core ix CPUs don't use PLLs.

    Or FSB, for that matter.

    yeah it's actually a BCLK, but they do have PLLs.

    Edit: he just got FSB overclocking working! more to come.

    PLL would still nice for his naming
