Help! Need info, Please...

Happy New Year!!!!
HP Pavilion DV5 AMD Motherboard 482324-001. Can this work with a TL60 cpu and does the memory have to be 800Mhz. I got a broken dv5-1008 bad motherboard. I got a replacement board 482324-001, and installed 1Gig of 5300 ram and the AMD TL60-2GHz x2 that was on the old motherboard the new board will not boot. The lights blink 2 times, I think thats bios, if I try to reset the bios sometimes it will blink 3 times. The laptop will not boot just blinks. The board was tested before it was shipped. Is it because of the cpu and memory that I am using? My old board would work sometimes, but was very iffy and it would cut off at random times. Thanks for any info...

 

The dv5 motherboard uses socket S1g2 while the Turion TL series require a socket S1g1 motherboard. For the dv5 motherboard you'll require a RM or ZM series Turion or the Athlon QL series processors.

Memory wise you can use either DDR2 667 or DDR2 800 with the dv5 motherboard.

 

Thank you very much Miner, I just cannot understand why the TL-60 was in my dv5-1008 laptop. Since I have to buy a CPU which series would you recommend, RM, ZM or QL and does anyone know the max speed the DV5 AMD Motherboard 482324-001 will support. Well here goes, more reading week...

 

The HP spec sheet for the dv5-1008 lists it as shipping with a 1.9GHz Athlon X2 QL-60 which is different from the older generation Turion X2 TL-60 which ran at 2.0GHz. Are you sure its a TL 60 and not a QL 60 cpu?

The dv5 series was sold with cpu's up to the Turion Ultra ZM-86. So any of the cpu's from the Athlon QL or Turion RM and ZM series should work. The RM or the ZM series would be better than the Athlon QL series. I would suggest a RM series since they wont cost too much and performance wise they are going to be very similar to the top of the line ZM series.

 

You are very knowledgeable with your info I got this laptop used and the owner took out the memory. He had a tech look at it when he started having problems but I do not think he went inside it, no signs but not certain. I know the HP site list this model with the QL60 but I was not certain if the TL60 could work as it was in it. Anyway I will try and get a CPU so I can figure out if this new motherboard is good or not. I already got 1gig of 6400 memory today.
Thank you again Miner for your advice.

 

I installed a ZM-84 and 1x2Gig PC6400 ram. I got everything going on this board now for a week or so and I am satisfied that it is working OK. My problem now is since this was a new motherboard (from China), when I boot up the laptop it says no serial number. How do I add my serial number? I have been able to install Windows Vista and now I'm trying Windows 7 on this laptop. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
