Pls Travelmate 5760 bios mod

[Gioggoc]

Hi. I have just tried to change cpu from i5 2450m to i5 3320m. The socket phisically accept it but the screen was black.
I known that in notebook specifications there isn't 3320m in cpu compatibility list.
There is a chance to make it working with microcode update or bios modification?
Anyhow is possible to unlock advanced bios section?

Thank you in advance

Here the last official bios link:

Hi. I have found microcode for 3320m. The question is: i need to change vbios too?
There are same utilities to try microcode or vbios before flash it on chip?

Your laptop is based on HM65 chipset without support Ivy Bridge.
Adding microcode doesn't add support for new CPU.
