    Hey there folks, I wanted to swap my stock HP G62-340US's amd motherboard for an intel motherboard so I can put an i5 or i7 inside. Decent IGC like Nvidia would be nice. Just need a part number or ebay link, ect. Thanks!

    Manual for your current laptop. No Intel version listed.

    G62 Intel versions. In the pictures they look same outside but could be their internals are different. I mean that it's possible to have to change chassis too or do some dremeling work on the old one.

    Also note that those iCores are first gen, price for a motherboard and cpu and other necessary parts is probably much more than buying a whole used 2nd gen i5/i7 laptop that's also much more powerful. This project would not save you any money, only good reason would be doing it for the fun and learning :)
