Upgrading Processor in HP ENVY 6 Sleekbook 1006sa

[Slinkie]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the processor in the above laptop? I have tried googling it but can't find much info. I presume upgrading a laptops CPU will be hard but thought I'd check if anyone knows if it is possible before I look at selling the laptop and getting something faster.

From cpu-world.com:

Q: Can I upgrade my AMD A6-4455M microprocessor?
A: No. BGA processors, like this one, are soldered on a motherboard, as a result, upgrading or replacing them is extremely difficult.

If no info anywhere its time to take it apart and check if its soldered to the MB or not. If not - happy days. Google which of the quickest once are supported by the MB and buy one . In theory should work
