I have recently bought a refirbished T9300 (t9300 slayy ) for my laptop to replace my T4200. But T9300 won't fit in the socket. I did not push it at all to prevent damage. T4200 slides like a charm.

Can anyone help? I don't know what is wrong here.

Do you see the Yellow/golden triangle on the cpu ? the socket should also be a triangle. Have you looked the laptop will accept this upgrade?

The T9300 is available for the BGA479 and the PGA478 socket. You obviously got the wrong one. The letter code, like SLAYY tells you exactly what you got.

The triangle was located left bottom and I tried to fit T9300 having the triangle on the same spot. It is not officially supported. But I don't believe that this has anything to do with the socket type. It is more on the bios side.

It's printed on the CPU. Enter "T9300" as the Processor Number here and you get the "S-Spec number" in the first column and the related socket type in the last http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/SSpec_Chart.pl

In that link SLAYY has the same socket (478-pin Micro-FCPGA) as T4200 does.

And yours is a SLAYY? Only other thing I can thing of is a bend pin.

Yes it is SLAYY T9300. It is written on the chipset. Tried to straighten some pins genlty using a credit card but again it does not fit.

So it is compatible but it's pins are bent (they are a bit actually).
