ThinkPad R40■ CPU Upgrade Celeron to Pentium 4-M

[BodyBuilder454]

The Pentium "M" series is underpowered. It was a good expiriment, but you.were probably better off with its original CPU. You could have tried overclock the celeron if it allows you to in bios.

I have an R40, runs like a dream. I have so called better and more powerful laptops, but this one is my favorite for screen quality and the feel of the keyboard, and It has performed flawlessly for every task I have thrown at it!

@chigong980 i bet you can't play world of warcraft on that...

[chigong980]

@D3adUMP No, you're quite right about that! lol! It's a really good laptop for it's particular level, but of course it has it's limits. I only run Ubuntu on mine so it's not getting it's resources swallowed up.

Where is the thermal compund? Use without thermal compound can destroy your laptop!

Nice tutorial, unfortunately after changing the processor, the notebook doesn't start. I've changed an 1.4 ghz processor to a 1.86/2M/533 Intel M.

Texts on the proc:

RH80536 750

7549A969 SL7S9

1.86/2M/533

INTEL M (c) '04

Do you have any idea?

[AphamX]

@errorkahun Why in gods name would you change a notebook processor?! Did you even reapply the thermal paste?! My god did you force the cpu into its socket?! Did you even know it would fit?! Do you even know if the cpu is compatible with the motherboard. God this is one of the most stupidest things I have ever seen?!

[errorkahun]

@AphamX: I did everything perfectly. (The tutorial and minimum of 20 IQ is needed :) With the old proc it works again.

"Why in gods name" rotfl. Have you ever heard there are difference in speeds between 1.4 and 1.86 ghz processors? :) The most stupid comment I've ever seen :P

[AphamX]

@errorkahun why not just trash that laptop.

Thank you for the video!

Does anyone know what is the fastest processor that I could install in a Thinkpad R40?

According to a page on the Lenovo website, it's a Pentium 4, running at 2.4 gigahertz.

It also read: Types 2681, 2682, 2683, 2896. But I'm not familiar with those numbers.

Does anyone know if that's true? Beuhler, Beuhler, anyone?

Unfortunately, the chipset in this laptop doesn't support a Dual Core Pentium. Even though the earlier ones are available in the same socket format, they aren't compatible.

@linuxrobotdude

the pentium 4 m is not a dual cor cpu

I have a Thinkpad R40 that is not holding the charge. It only works if I plug the power. What is wrong with it? Need a new battery?

[chrischoy9]

Yes the battery die after 400-500 charges

[Thanatos1978]

[nerdyfred07]

what FSB upgrade did you jump from? i got a dell c400 and looking to upgrade from a 133mhz fsb to 400mhz fsb. is it possbile?

[GlycerinZ]

no the new CPU has to be the same FSB that the motherboard supports.
