Toshiba Satellite (Pro) L500 (with Socket P) & T7x00: Microcode Update

[William.Hunting]

GM45 doesn't support any i3/i5/i7
Some Toshiba Satellite L500 & L505 are based on HM55.

Ok, Apprec... !!
That puts an end to that "hot in the loins" wet dream.. 

So back to the the more realistic upgrade, how would you determine which of the listed Core Duo's will work with mobo, bios... etc? 

I'm not beyond the actual repair/swap(put myself through college fixing/upgrading desktops/laptops back in the PC100/133 Pentium-II days) and "could" write the bios if somebody would hold my hand... I'm just very far detached from familiarity of what is happening in today's world, all the specifics of each tech/jargon...etc and honestly not looking at spending weeks/months to research everything to be competent in this arena again. 

Could you point in a logical direction... ie any known problems/conflict (a) with bus speed increase? (b) with freq increase? © with increase in l2 cache? 

Have any of those listed in OP been ruled out? 

And the 10million dollar question for a $10-25 part, where is this white list, the holy grail for what I'm doing right this min...

T9400, T9550, T9600, T9800, T9900 and X9100 are recommended for upgrade laptops with GM45 chipset.

Yeah, that's what I've gathered.. but nowhere can I find that it's a clean swap(simple hardware swap with no extra software/firmware mods...ie blacklisted) or I'm not fully understanding the insinuation.. recommended = clean swap. 

Just noticed this was placed in the P-socket thread vs G1, which I believed my T6570 intel was..

Describe in details your problem.

Laptop BIOS version appears to be V1.70. But after V1.50, an official version has never been released for this model laptop. Probably an incorrect installation of V1.70 currently installed on it. The pc often crashes and does not open without heating the north bridge. Therefore I want to install a suitable BIOS version. I tried to upload the file given by Genius239, previously the battery gave 10% error and now it gives an 'unsupported method' error. I am inexperienced with BIOS, maybe I can't. CPU-Z images are attached.

Make a screenshot of regedit with expanded key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0

BTW: The official BIOS for your laptop - http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-file...135948.zip

I downloaded the exe file, I removed it on the table, I said run as administrator, it still did not work. My computer has no battery, it's broken. Is there any solution to get around this problem? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ HARDWARE \ DESCRIPTION \ System \ CentralProcessor \ 0 mean take screenshot, I don't understand it?

Current BIOS already has suitable microcode T6600. You don't need any modded BIOS.
