    Not sure why it's not turning on. But it seems that the processor may not be compatible with the motherboard. I was looking at our support site and actually shows you can put a 720qm with no problems.

    I have read on multiple forums that it is compatible sice it uses the same chipset, socket and wattage as the 720qm, and some claim to have done it succefully, maybe i just received a faulty processor form the ebay seller. Im extremely pissed. any one else have any ideas about what the problem might be?
