5. CPU Upgrade

So much for the outside of the notebook. Let's get inside and change the CPU. After my first article about mobile CPUs several readers contacted me about changing the processor. The L8400B notebook uses an uPGA2 processor that can be replaced quite easily.

Let's Start with the most obvious, the removal of the DC power and the battery.


unlock the latch over in the direction of the arrow slide over the other latch in the direction of the arrow remove the battery just to finish the complete description of the notebook, this is the reset switch

The L8400B uses a 3300mAh Li-Ion battery pack


This part of the notebook adds ~400g (about 13.5 ounces) to the total weight of the system. Big batteries add to the system weight, but provide a longer time without the need of a connection to AC power.

This Site is Fantastic, but is there really no 3V system battery inside the ASUS L8400B ?
If Yes, where is it located?

Thanks !
Rudy
