    Hi, I have the HP Envy 14 BE 1195eo and i would like to know if it is possible to upgrade my laptop to Sandy Bridge with a motherboard and prosessor upgrade (upgrading nothing else in the computer). Frem what i have seen the motherboards are pretty much identical except from the CPU socket, chipset, color and graphics card. Here are the pictures i have looked at to compare; this is the Sandy Bridge motherboard named 654173-001: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/HP-ENVY-14-654173-001-OEM-Intel-I-Core-Series-Laptop-Motherboard-w-HDMI-Port-/00/s/MTQ2NlgxNjAw/$(KGrHqFHJBkE+NnFop-6BP010YyJP!~~60_57.JPG . This is the motherboard i have now, its name is 608365-001: http://www.cpainc.ca/images/parts/xlarge/CPQ-608365-001-U-2.jpg

    I'm just wondering if there is anything that won't work here? I have looked up all the parts in the manual for the 1100 series and the 2000 series, and almost every part inside the computers have different part numbers. But from the looks of the motherboard, they all have the same connections, so they will work, right? If the picture for the Sandy Bridge motherboard is Wrong, can anyone help me fint another one (a better angle would be nice too)? Anything else i have missed?

    Anyone thet can help finding a good place to get the parts from? I have looked at Ebay and found all the parts (planning on an i7 2620M or 2630QM) But i'm still open for better places t get them (the HP spare part store is way to expensive). They also have to ship to Norway.

    No. That will not work.
