Laptop i3 2330M Upgrade????

[Bornnslippy]

Hi ive got a Samsung RV520 laptop with a i3 2330M cpu

I gave it a fan clean and i noticed that the i3 2330M was a socket not a soldered cpu so i am wondering if it could be upgraded? If so what could i go up too?

Its a Sandy Bridge 35w socket 988b rpga

Many Thxs

Hi guys thanks for the replies

Im wondering would a i5-3230M work in it ????

Thanks

OK thanks

What do u guys think I could go too?

I was looking at the i7-2670QM but it's a 45w not a 35w would that cause a problem?

Or would a i7-2640M be a better choice as that runs at 35w

I've also read it needs to be bios compatible how would I find that out

Thanks
