    upgrading laptop CPu from 35tdp to 55.

    I have a 3210m inside a fairly good samsung lappy, I want to have a look at fitting a decent cpu, I am thinking about a 55tdp (i,e, socket G2 I7-3940QM). the laptop has a removable cpu (its a budget gaming machine from a few years ago).

    Please could somebody help me understand what would need to be done to get this to run safely.

    I understand the heat output will increase, though I don't expect it to be too much difference following some research.

    I am wondering what issues I may encounter other than the heat increase.

    many thanks
    Dan

      MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX (MS-16R6) LAPTOP WON'T TURN ON AFTER RESTARTING
      by RdeveLabs
      To all the members here...

      Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.

      So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off. But...

      Strange! Acer laptop not powering on but charging the battery (orange light on when charger and battery plugged in).
      by serious_electron
      Hello Everyone!

      I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.

      Laptop mouse & KB NOT available on power option restart but available only when laptop is cold booted using power button
      by Sanjit Keskar
      I have this inexplicable problem from yesterday

      Each time i start my laptop by pushing the physical power button in, the laptop keyboard and touchpad are available to me for use when the system has booted to the desktop (I can enter the bios by pressing on F10 too) irrespective of whether the laptop is powered by the AC adapter or the battery. This is normal behaviour

      BUT NOW FOR THE ABNORMAL PART

      However, when using the laptop normally, if i choose restart from the power options, the touchpad and mouse are non-functional when the system has booted to the...

      Hello all,

      I am a computer tech but very new to electronics repair iow, a total noob but in the process of learning, hence posting here. The laptop was donated to me by a client.
      It is a couple of years old 15" HP Laptop, Model:15-dy5058cl, Prod ID: 8L5X9UA.

      The issue: Charger is detected but doesn't charge the battery.

      Asus laptop won't boot (no power) - possible bad caps?
      by jrodefeld
      I would like to see if anyone could help me salvage a very expensive laptop that is no longer working.






      The model:
      Asus Zenbook Pro Duo UX582L

      I have used this laptop lightly since I purchased it new in 2022. I have always taken precautions to take care of it the best I could, and have never done anything that would risk causing damage to it or shorten it's life.

      However, around six months ago, the laptop stopped working on battery power. It continued to work fine when plugged in, but as soon as power was disconnected,...
