I'm upgrading the processor on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop and can't get it to power on.
Original processor was a Core 2 Duo T5270 (1.4 GHz)
I purchased and installed a Core 2 Duo T9400 SLB46 2.53GHz 1066MHz and it won't boot.
I've tried it with one stick of RAM, battery/no battery, resetting the CMOS battery... nothing. I don't even get a power LED when I turn it on.
BIOS is the most recent.
I've seen several threads where people said they used a T9400, T9500, or T9600 to upgrade this computer.
This is the 2nd T9400 I bought.... the first one I returned to the seller saying it was DOA... well it seems like it really wasn't or it's a big coincidence that both T9400s from different sellers are DOA.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
