Here's the rest of my comment~ smersh69, Maybe this has some stuff you can use... Now you will have to remember this is a simple mechanical thing, meaning that the "Pins" {I place in quotes because these are not actual PINS, they are a much more advanced system that simply applies mechanical pressure onto the gold contact, rather than the traditional socket/pin used in so many other models, both before & after.} will line up properly & make good contact unless they are disturbed or tarnished. This being said, the next issue you should encounter {at least with the CPU}, will be the power. Since greater processing power, requires a greater amount of power to ensure a properly functioning state. Most CPUs will simply fail to operate. Here's a "Short List" that includes voltages & L2 caching limitations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_In... Since this is NOT the only issue you will encounter, I'll let you digest the list first. However, you WILL also need to understand that the original power supply in tha...

Seems like we have a "Trend". I just received a Sony VAIO Pro SVP series, for repair. Primary complaint, cannot "Make Screen Brighter". This is not the first Sony (or other laptop for that matter) with display brightness issue. Here's what's happening so far with this machine: -Virus scanning (with external drive cradle) | Nothing even close to significant, and nothing that would indicate a Trojan or MBR attaching to machine level brightness control (My recommendation: as a "Cover-All" basic proceedure). -During the use of (USB boot) diagnostic tools, for hardware check-up: Oddly enough, nothing??? -While stepping through the GAMMA test (Adobe Suite tool), I inadvertently grabbed onto the screen, by the bezel ring. An odd thing happened, intermittent, changes in the Primary color spectrum. (this step was because the client is a photographer, and uses Adobe Suite gamma correction software to get the best view of his photos). I would normally, never even considered checking the display issue from that angle. -A...
