Hi,
I have a Asus A52JE-EX187V with i3 330M socket 989 rPGA (CPUz said but I think is a Socket G1 or PGA988) and Intel HM55 chipset.
Can I upgrade cpu with i7 740QM or another quad core processor?
Thanks in advance for any help !

What do you need to know? Attached socket photo but if you need show a specific serial or text let me know
Disassemble your laptop and make new photo of its motherboard near a socket.

Here they are
The board model is K52JR Rev2.2 E89382 HannStar 94V-0 and PN:60-NXMDC1000-E01
This laptop has switchable graphics. It's can be the reason of problems with support of Clarksfield.

Switchable on production line because GPU is soldered, not on socket like the CPU.
So, any quad core proccessor compatible for this board?
Anyway thanks for your answers and your time
I think it can't boot with Clarksfield.

You are right. The 740QM not works with this board. It's possible because the graphics.
Thanks for your comments. Without quad core CPU compatible I will keep with my i3 330M
