How difficult is it to upgrade your CPU?

Check out BigO's guide its for 5315 but its almost the same.
I upgraded my T2370 with T7500, it took me 10 minutes to remove the panel, the heatsink, clean it all, put the new cpu, put the thermal paste and collect all the pieces together

[hoggie]

so far most 90% of all upgrades have worked.
but could those posters who have tried and had problems.
please post here as well.
Thanks All for the help

can anybody tell me where I can buy better CPU than mine? I`ve T5450 at Acer Aspire 5920G.. and I can`t find any place to buy it..

[ATG]

Try Ebay, even if you find a place to buy new CPU the price is HUGE. For example the price for new T7500 in Spain is around 240 Euros, I got my T7500 from Ebay for 89 Euros.
