All right, what did I do? CPU Upgrade.
All right, what did I do? CPU Upgrade.
So I got a new to me t30 today and had a few minutes to fool around with it. I decided I would upgrade to the 2.0 P4 CPU. The numbers on the chip are 3314A681 SL6FK RH80532 2000/512. The FRU is 91P7203.
Anyway, being the hack that I am, I went ahead and installed it. When I got it put back together, it will power up but the screen is totally blank. So, I went back and put in the original chip and the same thing happens. The computer powers up, but the screen is totally blank.
It worked fine before I started toying with it.
The machine has XP on it.
Also, if I take out the ram and try and start up the machine there are no beeps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Did you properly reseat the video cable? However, you removed the ram and it doesn't beep...hmmm
Re: All right, what did I do? CPU Upgrade.
By the way the only two lights on are the battery and the little "z" with the circle around it.
Which is the video cable?
Thanks

Re: All right, what did I do? CPU Upgrade.
Well, I think I figured it out. When I was swapping the cpu chips I didn't get the screw that holds down the cpu chip all the way over to the lock position.
However, the new chip that I got doesn't work (2.0 ghz). Can anyone confirm that I got the right chip for the upgrade. Here's the auction I won. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... _740wt_831
I appreciate it.

That CPU should work just fine, assuming it is not defective.arizona wrote: Can anyone confirm that I got the right chip for the upgrade. Here's the auction I won. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... _740wt_831

R40 and the T30 use different CPUs, appears to be the wrong chip.

Re: All right, what did I do? CPU Upgrade.
The SL6FK should work, but it runs hotter and uses more power than the 'proper' T30 2.00GHz CPU, which is the SL6CL.

Re: All right, what did I do? CPU Upgrade.
I don't see how that is possible. They both run at 1.3V, 32W Max TDP per Intel. In fact I've never heard of any mobile processor in the same family running at the same speed operating hotter (or cooler) than any other CPU in that family based on the fact that the Intel part numbers are different. Intel doesn't specify different stepping for those two parts either.RealBlackStuff wrote:The SL6FK should work, but it runs hotter and uses more power than the 'proper' T30 2.00GHz CPU, which is the SL6CL.

Re: All right, what did I do? CPU Upgrade.
I'll give it another shot, but I think either I got a defective chip, or it just doesn't work in the T30. Should the chip be plug and play or is there other steps I need to take to make it work?
