Laptop help please

Got an acer 3613 with Celeron M 370 processor. The chipset is a 910GML. I wanted to add a bit of horsepower and bought a Pentium M 715. The recommended chipset for this processor is the 855. As far as I know they are the same pin config, but I cannot seem to get the 715 to work. Am I missing something

Does the 910 chipset say that it supports the PM 715? You might need a bios flash to enable compatibility and that assumes such a flash was even released. I'm afraid that it might not work at all though, just because the pin format is the same is no guarantee that it will work.

I checked on 910GML upgrade compatibility and it looks like s478 chips should work ok. I was just wondering if anyone has upgraded thier 910GML laptop. I got the latest bios, but it won't flash. Will try again and if successful try the 715 again. Mabye the chip is borked. No way to test it.
