I have hp 530 with a core 2 duo 2400T and a i945GME Rev. 03 Chipset should it support a t7600. The t2400 is a 32bit cpu or is it a motherboard and chipset that suports both architectures?
Hi. Great video very useful. Just bought the same laptop for £4 ($5.20 USD). Very cheap and worked fine. I have a Celeron M 530 1.73ghz (533 mhz bus) currently in the system the bios version is f.07 and chipset is 945gm/e socket 478. I was wondering if I could upgrade the cpu to a core 2 duo t7200 2.00 ghz (667 mhz bus)?
Hi, and thanks for your comment. Sounds like you got a nice deal. The 945GM chipset should support up to a T7600 CPU, so the T7200, T7400 should be okay.
+Hector De la Garza The method I used in the video just involved taking the hinges for the screen off, and leaving the screen loosely in place. Overall it's a better way to go than actually following the HP directions and taking it all apart. If you do want to go the HP route, you'll want to be careful about detaching the wifi cables, which tend to run in a frame around the screen, down to, and through, the motherboard, to the wireless card on the other side. It's a pain, I know.
I know man, and I'm really thankful... but I went thru all the trouble just to find out the socket is not compatible with Pentium 4 processor... a lesson learned the hard way...
Hi! Thank you for the video! It is really nice! Only one question: I have this HP 530 with intel Celeron M 520 processor. Can I replace it with an intel core 2 duo t7600?? Thanks
Hi, and thanks kindly. If you want to be sure about CPU support you should check your chipset with a free tool like CPU-Z or Speccy. If you have the 945GME chipset, the T7600 upgrade should work. Using the most current BIOS before the upgrade also helps.
Yes you're right. The T7400 and 7600 will work in most all situations that accept a T7200. And I only qualify that in the rare event of bios lacking the proper microcodes.
@@ThatWord Cheers, I'm reporting back on my fiddling with this laptop. 😄 A couple of hours ago I put in my new Intel T7600 CPU & sadly it doesn't work. If I press the power button, the laptop turns on & everything, but it automatically shuts off after 5 s or after the yellow LED blinks about 6 times (going green afterwards). 🙁 Am I missing something here ? It has the i945GM chipset (Rev. 03 - according to CPU-Z program), the BIOS version is the last (68MVU v F.07, 03/18/2008) so... 😕 I'm thinking I should rather go for an Intel T2600 or take my chances (still) with the Intel T7400.
Sorry to hear it didn't run. Just to rule things out, you could try it first with just one stick of RAM and then the other, or even BIOS at all default settings. I've done this upgrade with T7200s so will keep this in mind about the T7600.
@@ThatWord Cheers, Well hours ago I finally found the time to give this laptop another try & sadly I have to report that there is no change. 😑 Prior to putting in the new T7600 I resetted the BIOS to factory defaults.

Hi! Thank you for the video! It is great. I have upgraded to 4 gb but not thinking about upgrading the cpu. Should i upgrade the BIOS you thing. Will it provide any improvement? If yes, is it hard to do. I use ubuntu on the laptop now.
Hi Rosp. In general, if you are not thinking about upgrading the cpu, there is little advantage to upgrading the bios. If you are having a specific issue, the latest bios might be something to try, but otherwise, with no cpu upgrade planned, you should be fine. Flashing the bios is not a hard thing to do, and sometimes the latest version will offer things like new microcodes for greater compatibility with newer processors. Cheers.
As a general rule, you can expect it to run a majority of the games from when it was made. In the case of an HP 530, we're talking about 2008. Graphics are something like Intel GMA 950 if I recall (this video was made many years ago). So maybe a very low framerate Minecraft?
I have this same laptop, I just bought 2GB of memory for it by an accident ( I meant to get 4gigs of ram), but I never thought to update the processor. So what is the highest processor I can get for this?
First you'll want to determine what chipset you have. To do this you can use a free program like CPU-Z or Speccy. For example, if you have the Intel GME 945 chipset, you can run dual core CPUs with a 667mhz front side bus. The fastest I would try putting in there is the T7600, but the T7400 or T7200 would be almost as good. As always, make sure you've installed the latest BIOS before doing a CPU upgrade.
Super shitty design yes... but it's a very low end series laptop. HP went on to design the EliteBook series laptops that are superb! Take a look at the gen 3 EliteBooks and how the whole bottom base pulls out with just one screw and gives you access to everything.
I think the T7200 would make a very nice upgrade from a T2050, but since the T2050 runs at 533fsb and the T7200 at 667fsb, you should run a free utility like CPU-Z or Speccy to see what chipset you have. If it says you have the 945 chipset, the T7200 should work fine. You may want to make sure you are running the latest available BIOS before doing the upgrade.
Hi,so i have the HP 530 laptop Windows 7 and the battery isn’t really working well,Its my old laptop from 2013 i think or 2012,whenever i turn on the laptop its working good but then 5 seconds later it just magically turns off by itself,its okay If you dont know what to do about it,i can also buy a new one but i dont know
If it's turning off after a short time when on AC power, there are several possibilities. It could be that your AC jack is old and no longer able to give it the level and consistency of power it needs. Seems a good candidate since your battery also isn't charging well. If it took minutes and not seconds to turn off, I'd say maybe the vents were clogged and it was overheating, but if it turns off quicker than that, probably not. It could also be something not easily fixable, like the capacitors have swollen or blown. If that's the case, a replacement laptop seems the way to go. Good luck with it man.
Please help ! I upgraded my HP 530 with an Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz, and CPU-Z indicates that the CPU runs in 997.40 MXz.... What should I do to fix this problem?
It's likely just Intel SpeedStep technology reducing the CPU because it is not under load. But if you want a second opinion you could use a program like Speccy. Does your system information indicate the proper CPU mhz?
Does your bios have the option of disabling SpeedStep technology? And are you using the latest available bios? That would be the next thing I would look at.

hi my hp 530 notebook there is a processor celeron m ben sketketed t7200 processor ı bought ı got ht black screen then stay on black screen ı have installed the latest version bios update from hp site ı am waiting for the same help
It is possible that even though your model is an HP 530, the motherboard may not support the T7200. Your Celeron M processor likely runs at 533mhz front side bus, and the T7200 is 667mhz fsb. Not all 530 models can be upgraded to a T7200. Seems like your motherboard won't support it.
Hi ThatWord. I enjoyed watching your video, thanks. My question if you could: I have a 530 with the following reported by CPUZ: Intel 530 Celeron M processor @1.73Ghz (single core) Motherboard Model HP 30D5 Chipset Intel i945GME Can I fit a dual core like a T5300 or better to this MB. Will it work? Thanks Colin
Hi Colin, Provided that you really do have the 945 chipset (and not the 940) I think you should be able to run a dual core @ 667fsb, even though your current cpu is 533. So you should be to do something like a T7200, although the fastest the model came with at the time was a T5200. Here is the source of this info: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-530-CPU-upgrade/m-p/1251835 Best of luck with your project.
Hello again, I wanted to let you know that I upgraded my laptop. Yes its true! The T7200 arrived by mail first ($5 only) and all went well. I made a video and will link as soon as edited. Thanks again for your video and response. Regards Colin
is it possible to upgrade Intel Celeron m 430 to Core Duo T2700 or Core Duo T2600 ? knowing they utilize Socket M and all of them based on Yonah core. also considering that Intel Celeron m 430 has one core with one thread but the others have two cores and two threads.
If the chipset is Intel 945GM then you should be able to go all the way up to a T7600, T7400, T7200. However, if your 530 has the 945GML chipset you likely won't be able to do this. The 530 came out with models that used both of these chipsets. You can use a free tool like Speccy or CPU-Z to determine your chipset. Good luck!
I changed my laptop cpu recently just few days agp using this video tutorial however my laptop still only recognizes my old cpu under System settings when I boot up my laptop. As I have programme called CPU- Z installed I know my new CPU which I put in correctly is working and not broken. my laptop is a Toshiba satellite pro L850 which I bought pre- built. my old cpu I still have with me just in case. As I am quite new to computer building I do not know much. I do know however my laptop has latest bios. I was therefore wondering what I need to do so my laptop changes and detects my new cpu right now it reads under system settings the old intel core i3 3120M cpu not the new intel core i7 3540M processor one thing is for certain I correctly installed the cpu and thermal compound also the cpu sockets both match so no problem there. Is there anyone out there who could kindly help me out about this.
Hi Tom, I must admit I am a bit surprised to hear that you used a tutorial for an older Compaq to change the cpu in a newer Toshiba. But all the more congrats to you for doing it successfully! My first inclination when I hear that CPU-Z correctly identifies the cpu (and from what I gather the laptop seems to work fine) is that the microcode for that particular cpu may not be in the bios. After doing a search it seems that the L850 can be upgraded with a i7-3610QM as a "best" option (according to some users). Your 35430M seems like it should work, and from your description all seems to be working except proper cpu identification. Odder still that it would continue to identify the old cpu when the new one is in there. You say it reads that way under System, and I am curious if it also reads that way in the BIOS itself. If the correct cpu is identified in BIOS, I would be less inclined to worry. Something you could try would be to run a live version of Linux (like Mint, run live off installation media but without installing it) and see how the cpu is identified under that OS.
Without knowing further specifics, I would say yes, you can. If you already have a core 2 duo in there, something like a T7200 should work well. It should also be able to run a T7400 or T7600.
i have an old 550 and am looking to upgrade the cpu and i found this video by accident.. does anyone know if this trick would also work on the 550? i have replaced the hdd recently and the back looked very similar to the 530-back so im wondering.. probably also gonna use the t7200 and 533mhz ram
I think the fastest CPU that the Compaq 550 (with the GME965 chipset) came with was the Intel T5670, 1.8ghz, 800MHz front side bus. For RAM it used DDR2 667MHz. It would be a gamble to try the higher end of the mobile 800MHz fsb CPUs in this, like the T9500. It makes sense on paper, but sometimes the BIOS just doesn't have the microcode for it.
@@ThatWord well mine has the gl960 chipset, socket m. if the ram is 533mhz, the t7200 should work.. with "trick" i meant the disassembly trick, upgrading the cpu without removing the keyboard and display first...
@@obiwankenobi661 The gl960 chipset is a socket "Р"- so the T7200 does not fit. Optimally install Core 2 Duo T9300. RAM: slot#1 => 1GB (DDR2-533), slot#2 ==> 2GB or 4GB (DDR2-533, DDR2-667)
@@slavafedotov5742 sorry i somehow missed your reply. yes youre right. i finally have some time to play around with the laptop and checking it again i see now its a socket p so yea, the t7200 wont work. do you have an hp550?
Yes, the 945 chipset should be able to run a T7600, T7400 or T7200 (or other dual cores with a 667mhz front side bus). Just make sure you are running the most current BIOS before doing the upgrade.
I have a HP 530 with the Intel Core duo t2400 and i945GME express chipset, I bougth a Intel Core 2 duo t7200 (I think) but un Ebay i Saw an Intel Core 2 quad Q9900 with the PGA479, the HP 530 can run with the Intel Core 2 quad Q9900?
I'm not familiar with the Q9900 processor, but I have to say no. You can have the right socket size, but the cpu cannot exceed the maximum front size bus speed of the laptop (in this case 667mhz if I recall). And yes, 4gb of RAM should work fine (DDR2 5300 or 6400, which will clock down automatically). Cheers.
If you have the 945gme motherboard and you were already running a core duo, your model should handle 4gb of ram. Some models had Celeron cpus with a different chipset, hence the confusion about maximum ram for the 530. As always make sure to upgrade to the latest BIOS before upgrading the ram or cpu.
+muzictherpy Yes, unfortunately. Also, if that wasn't bad enough, it's common for HP models from this era to have a bios whitelist for internal wifi cards, so if you try to upgrade, you can only get a card from their short approved list.
+muzictherpy Haven't worked on this model in about 8 months so I'm not sure which two screws you mean. Sorry. It is possible to save a whole lot of time versus following the manual for getting the back opened up.
+Anupam Datta I'm pretty sure this model won't take a cpu with an 800mhz fsb. The chipset is either the 945 or the 940 (from their specs here: www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/getpdf.aspx/c04142132.pdf?ver=14).

hi my hp 530 notebook there is a processor celeron m ben sketketed t7200 processor ı bought ı got ht black screen then stay on black screen ı have installed the latest version bios update from hp site ı am waiting for the same help
It is possible that even though your model is an HP 530, the motherboard may not support the T7200. Your Celeron M processor likely runs at 533mhz front side bus, and the T7200 is 667mhz fsb. Not all 530 models can be upgraded to a T7200. Seems like your motherboard won't support it.
Hi ThatWord. I enjoyed watching your video, thanks. My question if you could: I have a 530 with the following reported by CPUZ:
Intel 530 Celeron M processor @1.73Ghz (single core)
Motherboard Model HP 30D5
Chipset Intel i945GME
Can I fit a dual core like a T5300 or better to this MB. Will it work?
Thanks
Colin
Hi Colin, Provided that you really do have the 945 chipset (and not the 940) I think you should be able to run a dual core @ 667fsb, even though your current cpu is 533. So you should be to do something like a T7200, although the fastest the model came with at the time was a T5200. Here is the source of this info: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-530-CPU-upgrade/m-p/1251835
Best of luck with your project.
Hello again, I wanted to let you know that I upgraded my laptop. Yes its true! The T7200 arrived by mail first ($5 only) and all went well. I made a video and will link as soon as edited. Thanks again for your video and response.
Regards
Colin
Perfect! i have the very same HP530 (i945GME 30D5) but with a celeron 440 cpu, but i guess i can upgrade my cpu as well??
Yes you sure can upgrade that Celeron. :)
is it possible to upgrade Intel Celeron m 430 to Core Duo T2700 or Core Duo T2600 ?
knowing they utilize Socket M and all of them based on Yonah core.
also considering that Intel Celeron m 430 has one core with one thread but the others have two cores and two threads.
If the chipset is Intel 945GM then you should be able to go all the way up to a T7600, T7400, T7200. However, if your 530 has the 945GML chipset you likely won't be able to do this. The 530 came out with models that used both of these chipsets. You can use a free tool like Speccy or CPU-Z to determine your chipset. Good luck!
thank you bro , I'll check it out !
I changed my laptop cpu recently just few days agp using this video tutorial however my laptop still only recognizes my old cpu under System settings when I boot up my laptop. As I have programme called CPU- Z installed I know my new CPU which I put in correctly is working and not broken. my laptop is a Toshiba satellite pro L850 which I bought pre- built. my old cpu I still have with me just in case. As I am quite new to computer building I do not know much. I do know however my laptop has latest bios. I was therefore wondering what I need to do so my laptop changes and detects my new cpu right now it reads under system settings the old intel core i3 3120M cpu not the new intel core i7 3540M processor one thing is for certain I correctly installed the cpu and thermal compound also the cpu sockets both match so no problem there. Is there anyone out there who could kindly help me out about this.
Hi Tom, I must admit I am a bit surprised to hear that you used a tutorial for an older Compaq to change the cpu in a newer Toshiba. But all the more congrats to you for doing it successfully! My first inclination when I hear that CPU-Z correctly identifies the cpu (and from what I gather the laptop seems to work fine) is that the microcode for that particular cpu may not be in the bios. After doing a search it seems that the L850 can be upgraded with a i7-3610QM as a "best" option (according to some users). Your 35430M seems like it should work, and from your description all seems to be working except proper cpu identification. Odder still that it would continue to identify the old cpu when the new one is in there. You say it reads that way under System, and I am curious if it also reads that way in the BIOS itself. If the correct cpu is identified in BIOS, I would be less inclined to worry. Something you could try would be to run a live version of Linux (like Mint, run live off installation media but without installing it) and see how the cpu is identified under that OS.
Can i change my intel core 2 duo 1.60 ghz with intel core 2 duo 2ghz in my hp 530 laptop .please tell me
Without knowing further specifics, I would say yes, you can. If you already have a core 2 duo in there, something like a T7200 should work well. It should also be able to run a T7400 or T7600.
@@ThatWord I can report that the T7600 doesn't work on mine. 😔
Intel t2600 it's works on this laptop?
Yes, I believe it certainly should.
@@ThatWord Thanks!
i have an old 550 and am looking to upgrade the cpu and i found this video by accident.. does anyone know if this trick would also work on the 550? i have replaced the hdd recently and the back looked very similar to the 530-back so im wondering.. probably also gonna use the t7200 and 533mhz ram
I think the fastest CPU that the Compaq 550 (with the GME965 chipset) came with was the Intel T5670, 1.8ghz, 800MHz front side bus. For RAM it used DDR2 667MHz. It would be a gamble to try the higher end of the mobile 800MHz fsb CPUs in this, like the T9500. It makes sense on paper, but sometimes the BIOS just doesn't have the microcode for it.
@@ThatWord well mine has the gl960 chipset, socket m. if the ram is 533mhz, the t7200 should work.. with "trick" i meant the disassembly trick, upgrading the cpu without removing the keyboard and display first...
@@obiwankenobi661 The gl960 chipset is a socket "Р"- so the T7200 does not fit. Optimally install Core 2 Duo T9300.
RAM: slot#1 => 1GB (DDR2-533), slot#2 ==> 2GB or 4GB (DDR2-533, DDR2-667)
@@slavafedotov5742 sorry i somehow missed your reply. yes youre right. i finally have some time to play around with the laptop and checking it again i see now its a socket p so yea, the t7200 wont work. do you have an hp550?
it's possible to upgrade a GM45/GM47 chipset? thx
Yes, the 945 chipset should be able to run a T7600, T7400 or T7200 (or other dual cores with a 667mhz front side bus). Just make sure you are running the most current BIOS before doing the upgrade.
I have a HP 530 with the Intel Core duo t2400 and i945GME express chipset, I bougth a Intel Core 2 duo t7200 (I think) but un Ebay i Saw an Intel Core 2 quad Q9900 with the PGA479, the HP 530 can run with the Intel Core 2 quad Q9900?
And this laptop can be upgraded to 4 Gb of ram? Thanks foto the video and sorry for my bad English (i'm from México)
I'm not familiar with the Q9900 processor, but I have to say no. You can have the right socket size, but the cpu cannot exceed the maximum front size bus speed of the laptop (in this case 667mhz if I recall). And yes, 4gb of RAM should work fine (DDR2 5300 or 6400, which will clock down automatically). Cheers.
ThatWord ok my sister said me that the maximum of ram was 2 of ram
If you have the 945gme motherboard and you were already running a core duo, your model should handle 4gb of ram. Some models had Celeron cpus with a different chipset, hence the confusion about maximum ram for the 530. As always make sure to upgrade to the latest BIOS before upgrading the ram or cpu.
ThatWord ok thanks bro :)
So if I need to replace only the cooler fan even then the procedure would gonna be so complicated..? wow..
+muzictherpy Yes, unfortunately. Also, if that wasn't bad enough, it's common for HP models from this era to have a bios whitelist for internal wifi cards, so if you try to upgrade, you can only get a card from their short approved list.
+ThatWord is it necessary to remove two front screws to open back cover or it can be removed without removing them..?
+muzictherpy Haven't worked on this model in about 8 months so I'm not sure which two screws you mean. Sorry. It is possible to save a whole lot of time versus following the manual for getting the back opened up.
Is it possible to upgrade it upto T7800?
+Anupam Datta I'm pretty sure this model won't take a cpu with an 800mhz fsb. The chipset is either the 945 or the 940 (from their specs here: www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/getpdf.aspx/c04142132.pdf?ver=14). And here's an interesting discussion about maxing the cpu: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/HP-530-Max-Processor/td-p/80391
+ThatWord oh, yes. I got a link of discussion which says t7600 is supported: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/HP-530-Max-Processor/td-p/80391/page/2
I am stuck between 7200 and 7600

What is your suggestion for this? t7200 or t7600 ? Consider, the laptop's age ( 7 years ) and price of processor. But with proper maintenance and cleaning It is working well. Also if 7200 then can you suggest me what price range will be good for buying? Because in Ali express It is hard to determine which one is new and original. Thanks for the links
Love your rant ...... HP sucks.
