    my FS570 is now out of warantee so i want to upgrade the 1.76 cpu for something faster.

    I assume the bios will be able to recognise the faster processor, but what are my options for the upgrade? Could I do it myself or should/can a laptop upgrade specialist do it?

    I already upgraded theh HDD myself and before I stopped being a PC g33k I used to built and overclock machines so am not afraid of hardware, but at the same time don't wanna kill my laptop!

    I know the sony T series and the FE series are user upgradeable so I would assume the FS series would be to.
