Hi all,
my laptop doesn't start anymore and the problem should be the CPU (AMD Turion X2 Dual Core RM-70).
How can I be sure that the cpu is dead?
If it is really dead, can I replace the cpu with another model? If yes, which other models could be good for me?
Alessio
P.S.
My laptop is HP DV5 1007el
It is more likely that a power problem or motherboard problem will happen before CPU fails.
You can test CPU to be sure by either replacing the existing RM-70 with another working CPU, or else by placing the existing RM-70 into another known working laptop.
It should be possible to replace RM-70 with other models. Turion X2 RM-70 is from 2008 and uses socket S1g2. Any other socket S1g2 CPU should also work:
Athlon X2 QL-60, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67
Turion X2 RM-70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77
Turion X2 Ultra ZM-80, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88
