    Hi I have a Acer Travelmate 2200 , it has a Celeron D processor code on the processor is SL7DL it runs at 2.6ghz at 533FSB with 256MB of Ram. However the Big brother of the 2200 (Basically same MOBO but with full P4 ) is the 2700 what Pentium 4 chip should i buy to upgrade. I have one P4 chip when i put it in it boots on external mains, however when on battery I can enter Bios after the bios screen there is a Bios error flashed on screen about wrong processor and the system will be shut down because the power is wrong... Anyone help? The Laptop works fine with the p4 in on mains.

    Yeah are you using a desktop p4? if so, it's a very demanding processor, requiring lots of power - thats why it runs on mains, but not on battery. The celeron D is a low power processor so it runs fine. I'm not quite up to date on this, but won't a pentium M work instead of a celeron D?? if so - try that one.
