On my toshiba laptop there is a litte metal switch (tunable by screwdriver flat-head) on the the plastic square thing that has the amd cpu mounted on it, it can be turned to open(with an unlock symbol by it) and close (with a lock symbol by it) or anywhere in between.

what is this? and what does it do? (other than stop the laptop working... as I have discovered earlier.
thanks

It'll be the release for your cpu - to remove it.

That button thingy locks your CPU into the socket in order to make the connections between the pins and the socket permanent. There is no need to take out the CPU, unles you want to change it with a more powerful one.

Because it is an old model. Your current CPU is compatible with socket S1G2, and the best one that can fit is an Athlon X2 QL-67 2,2Ghz. Only 100mhz boost from your current CPU...insignificant difference.
