Hi, I have a HP Laptop Pavilion dv7-6113cl. My HDD failed recently and I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to replace the cpu as well? However I do not know which cpus will even work. Is it even worth it? Or will an upgrade show little to no speed change?

The current processor is the AMD A6-3400M. Could I replace that with an AMD A8-3500M?

Cool!

On Page 1 of the user manual is a list of CPUs

As long as you have the current version of the BIOS flashed I imagine it should work fine.
