I’ll be doing a write up on how to change our your processor on an HP ZD7000 notebook.
Just a quickie, The ZD7000 uses a standard P4 800MHz FSB processor. The chip marking I found here was 3.2, 512, 800. So as long as you find a chip with similar markings, the 512 and the 800 should be the exact same but the 3.2 can be 3.0, etc. you won’t have a problem with doing the upgrade. It’s a rather quick and painless upgrade too. If I had to rate it on a scale of one through ten, I’d give it a two or a three.
how about going with intel 3.4 ghz ? any other mods needed ?
Can you give a tut on how to replace the dreaded power connector? I did some research and read that that is a common problem with the HP 7000 series. Soem people get a flashing screen(light then dark), others charging light doesn’t light up, laptop won’t turn on, etc.. I read that HP used shotty power connectors and that they break easily. I bought the new part, question is now how do I take the laptop apart to get to the connector.
