Aspire 5315 CPU Step-by-Step Upgrade Guide

[bigozone]

Thats the idea, trying to find a good deal at ebay and take advantage (for the first time since I get paid in USD) of the low USD vs EURO

What about the cold-boot issues?

Also with the stock cpu, how long does the battery last?

plan from the start to BUY a CORE 2 DUO off EBAY,, and upgrade the CPU..
i've noticed an extra hour of battery life due to the power saving fearutres of the core2duos

BigO has made sure he as worked every upgrade possible for this laptop (with guides) that you can/could do.
he's your man on this one, by a long way

oh,,, hoggie... i'm not done..... i'm just taking a break and saving my money for my little mini vacation less than 3 weeks away!!!

bigozone -what would you recommend (cpu wise and taking in consideration I dont need a ubber machine and the idea is a good price/performance relationship)?

If you got any good reliable source please PM with it (taking in consideration i'm in Europe).

Cheers

PS - What are the temps on the Celeron and can I expect quite operation = no ubber loud fans?

with a celeron the fan is going to run more than it is OFF... and the temps will be higher than you'd like...

i buy all my CPUs thru EBAY.... i always use the BUY IT NOW option...
try the US ebay site.... and pay w/ paypal (buy from a seller with a long history and a great feedback rating)... just friday i was searching ad saw T5450s going for $60us plus shipping... and many sellers will ship world wide when using the BUY IT NOW option...

you might check the BUY SELL TRADE forum here... post a thread looking to buy a T5250, T5450 or higher SOCKETP cpu... see if anyone here has one for sale.. alot of people here are upgrading to T8300's and selling thier old chips

i have bought 1 cpu and 2 digital cameras thru NBR with no problems

but as for EURO sources for CPUs,,, hoggie may be a better source of info.
but i'd not buy a retail CPU due to the HIGH COSTS,, and don't buy an ENGERRING SAMPLE CPU (they have usually been tortured)

Hi all, just want to say great thread, very informative. I have at the moment a fairly stock 5315, only mod so far is 2gb ram. Have just ordered a T8100 from ebay, $160aud incl postage which isn't too bad. should be here late this week - mid next week. i will post up details of socket colour when I change it...

just thought I'd add, has anyone else had issues with the wireless card becoming unavailable after resuming from hibernation? I updated bios to ver 1.43 last night, then when trying to resume after hibernating and pressing the wireless button I get a message saying no wireless cards...went back to 1.42, same issue...now back at 1.34 and have no problems...., any ideas?

[hoggie]

what wifi card do you have ?
I had this problem with my laptop. it was a conflict between windows zero configuration and the Broadcom software i was using.
is windows zero configuration set to manual or automatic in services

but i only had this trouble when using hibernation

the standard atheros one, is that how it's spelt...? it says the device is active and working, but won't show any networks, and when i press the button it says no device available or something similar

no device available or device disabled ?
have you tried re-installing the drivers?

[bodes-sh]

no device available, it's enabled and working in system properties...no i haven't, but after a restart it works fine

strange one.......when the wife gets of her 5315 i will have a play when she's not looking

she has hers set to go into hibernation when you push the power button down.
and is still running vista basic with the bios ver 1.43.
will get back soon

lol, ok then, i'll have a bit more of a play and see if i can figure anything out

hmmm strange....i just forced a hibernation then and now it's working properly...? in ver 1.43 now...i'll let it sleep and hibernate overnight and see how it goes

i'll post an update in the morning when i check it...hopefully all is ok now
