I have a Dell Latitude D630 with 4gb of memory, an Intel T7500 processor and some other unimportant things in it. I updated the BIOS to revision A19 from A13 and it booted correctly. I installed a new battery which caused no errors(as expected).I then installed a new processor, a Intel T9600 which fits the socket and works with the BIOS I have, but it didn't post or anything. The only thing that happened was the hard drive spinning up and then stopping and shutting down. I also know that the motherboard is not dead because when I put Intel T7500 back in the laptop it works fine. Essentially what I'm asking is is weather or not the CPU is dead.
Thanks to whoever responds, helpful or not.
