My old Satellite L675D-S7052 S1 Socket AMD Phenom II HMN640DCR23GM Chip on NALAE LA-6053P Rev:1A board shut down 6 months ago and put it in the closet since I had another laptop to work with. Now its time for me to check it out again. It won't start. Makes no response now. I know the power supply is good since it works with my other Toshiba laptop. Before I tried getting it back up, I cleaned a thick paper like dirt clod off the fins of the heat displacement coil of the cooling system. I assume the CPU fried since it was shutting down from overheating before it quit for good last time it was running. Now the is no response. My question(s) is/are, 1) is it possible its just a fried CPU and thus can just replace it and all is well, and 2) should/can I upgrade to a better CPU since it was a fairly robust laptop for my Wife?
Any assistance is appreciated.
