Upgrades HP Compaq Presario CQ57 Notebook, CPU Replacement, dust cleaning, thermal paste replacement 

thank you so much for this kind of tutorial, it is really helpful for me in cleaning my compaq laptop

What is the power input voltage This laptop 19V or???

I have this exact same laptop. I use it for my online classes (and play some games) it's pretty slow though, obviously because it's ten years old

Thanks for the info, just bought an ssd and cpu off of Ebay! Can't wait for the ba-ba-ba-blazin' speeds!

Hello, when you replaced the cpu is there a problem? Like overheating or any kind of problem

Does it supports 2nd caddy in place of dvd drive

A friend of mine is buying a device hp cq57-439wm price 4500 dollar since three years Is it worth it or not I think no

How much ram is it ?

I recently upgraded to 8 gb (2x4) of ram, but I was wondering, can it support more?

Sir i have same laptop hp presario cq57 and i have i5-2450m processor can I upgrade to i7

Bro i have same this laptop compac cq 57 motherbord but socket amd cpu e300 i want change upgrade motherbord to intal i5 or i7 who ?

I have a Compaq Presario CQ-57 202ES. Can I upgrade its Processor? And what's the limit?

That's strange, CPU in that mother can be replaced. I have same Presario CQ57 but CPU in mine is soldered into the motherboard!!!

FYI : If you're looking to upgrade the CPU of the compaq presario series. You need to have an updated bios or the motherboard won't support the cpu.I had never updated my bios so when I installed a new i5 CPU, my laptop never booted up. I thought maybe i forgot to plug some cable or something but none of the cable were unplugged it was just the motherboard not supporting the new processor. Also to update your BIOS you need to have x64 bit Windows 7 (everything expect for 7 home- new bios update doesn't support 7 home) so if you're using 10 or some other OS then be ready to go back to window 7. Then with the new updated bios, motherboard will take the new processor.

Where is the audio?

Some advice for people who want to upgrade cpu in their Presario cq57: 1. It can only be done on Intel models 2. As far as I know there are 2 generations of Intel cpu's that are supported. Check the chipset with cpu-z on your motherboard HM65 is 2nd gen, HM55 is 1st. (Also check if the cpu socket has rPGA in it's name - if it doesn't than you can't upgrade) 3. The supported CPU models are detailed in HP manual (you can find it on the internet). 4. For the technically unsupported CPUs that I was able to get working without BIOS mods are (for the 1st gen): I3-380m I7-620m Those are things I had trouble to research for myself so I hope it will help.

Is an amd athlon 64 bit 2005 better than an amd e2

Which processor did you wear?

Doesn't it overheat after the upgrade?
