Compaq Presario M2202AP Turion ML cpu upgrade

[Eagle]

In your BIOS I see only microcodes for CPUID: F48, F4A, F50. It's for old Mobile Athlon 64 only. So I think that no microcodes are needed.
And you can use any AMD Mobile Turion 64 for Socket 754. I advise to use ones with 1 MB of L2 cache. ML-42 has only 512 KB.

For safe, can you help to add micro code for AMD CPUID 20F42 (for the Turion ML-42) in F.52 bios.
I will try existing Bios if it doesn't work then I can use your mod version.

Your help is highly appreciated.

I'm sorry but I'm not a specialist for modding BIOS for AMD's motherboard.

Flash native BIOS for your laptop.
Look at this: http://valid.x86.fr/ekfqvh
ML-40 in your laptop with BIOS F.26
Please check your memory. Did your remove laptop's battery when CPU was replaced?
