Hi,
I have a lenovo z510, with core i5 4200m, i wanted to upgrade to a core i7 cpu, so i bought a core i7-4700mq, unfortunately when the new cpu is installed the laptop won't boot at all, the power led turns on for 1 second, the fan spins for a second, then all off. Switching to stock cpu solves the issue. I reinstalled the new cpu several times, i cleaned all pins thoroughly, i tried without battery, the power led lights up a bit longer, but screen is always off, no signs of life. I searched internet all night yesterday, i found very few posts with the same problem and most were lenovo ideapad. My laptop is called "ideapad z510".
In the manual the core i7 4700mq is listed, but as a 37 watts cpu, so it it must had beed a typo maybe?. Since the same laptop was sold with a core i7 4702mq config. I am still confused since some websites listed this laptop with a 4700mq cpu.
please help me troubleshoot the problem.
