Hi All,

i have a laptop (am a newbee here, so i cant give more detail other than below link )

https://www.snapdeal.com/product/hp-15r014tx-notebook-j2c54pa-4th/1719790535

while trying to upgrade my ram from 4 to 16 GB, my board got short circuited.

now i have to buy a new processor for this. my repair guy says he find only i3 processor in market. my lap originally had i5.

Please tell me what to do now. can i go for i7 processor, or i5 or i3.

if you give me the right link for purchasing the same from amazon or flipkart or snapdeal or watever. i will be so great full to you..

As with 99% other notebooks, your cpu is soldered directly to board, so unless you have bga soldering machine at home you are out of luck. Only way how to make it work again is buying new board. Buying new cpu cost nearly as much as new board without risk of bad cpu replacement.
Here are manual with partnumbers for boards, cpu and new board
