Thread Starter 
Hello, atm I have a broken E627 laptop.
but i was going to tweak it up a bit, when i get the paycheck.
i was going to replace the hdd (160gb 5,400rpm 8mb cache) with a 120gb SSD
the ram from 2gb 800mhz, with 4gb 800mhz CL5
the onboard GPU is an AMD Radeon HD 3200 with hypermemory ram allocation, was wondering if i could replace it? i know how to do it, i was just wondering if it'd work, like say soder on a 4250 to replace the 3200
ofcourse im replacing the wifi card with a newer one that supports N 300mbps
any ideas here guys?

The 3200 is an integrated gpu isn't it? If it's possible to replace it, it would be very difficult and require soldering. Personally I wouldn't even attempt to desolder and resolder a major component to a motherboard...I think it's more trouble than it's worth.

All the other upgrades sound nice, and you can probably upgrade the CPU as well.

Integrated chips are nothing but trouble to swap out, Unless you're extremely experienced and extremely precise with a soldering iron i wouldn't try it. And even then it would take too long, combining the time required due to having to use the iron at such a low temperature to prevent damage to the GPU/Motherboard, and the sheer amount of pins.

Of course not. The only you could mechanically pull it off is if the pins on the new socket were exactly the same as the old, so they would line up with the pads on the PCB. Which would make it... exactly the same socket!

They changed the socket design for a reason... If your motherboard doesn't support a CPU, you can't hack it so it will.
