My hp dv6 1211 ax laptop is 5 year old and causes overheating. Now my laptop won't boot and I am left with the famous caps and num lock led blink code 4. I tried covering the dents with a thick towel and overheating the laptop and it worked. But it's not possible to do each time. Moreover this method is also fading as now to boot my laptop once I need to do it 2-3 times (overheating method). I tried a repairing centre and they were unable to help. I am tired of this issue and even if they would be able to fix it hp dv6-1211ax has its history in terms of overheating.
Please help me as I am considering a full upgrade of processor and even motherboard if required. Is it possible to upgrade my laptop from amd to intel ? And if upgrading is possible what are the possibilities ? Please help asap.

Too bad about the overheating. Those Turion chips from AMD ran on the warm side when they were new. Your OS, Windows Vista is not helping the stability either.

It will not pay to put a new motherboard into this, and at best it would get you back to an outdated machine.

With a laptop this old, the only real option is to buy a new one. Just about anything you purchase will beat your current processing power.
