I took my Dell LS lappy apart and it has an Intel micro-BGA processor, as in Ball Grid Array. Anybody know if this can be pulled and upgraded to a faster one. I kinda tweaked on the package but it didn't seem like it wanted to come loose. I have searched Intel and while they have info on this processor they say nothing about its socket or how it mounts.

Thanks in advance!
 
its basically impossible to upgrade. if it was mpga2 you could just pop it out like any other cpu. but bga is soldered package. isuppose if you were god with a soldering iron you could attempt to like solder back all the pins but there arelik 400+ of them
 
Thanks for the reply! I kinda thought that was the case but the cpu is on a board-like package similar to the Athlon XP processor. Not any sort of surface mount or such.
