what cpu upgrade is available for Toshiba L555-S7001?

UPDATE:

I know that some laptops have soldered CPU's. I just finished upgrading my L505 from an i3 to i7. Both are dual cores but gained a higher frequency and is much faster. I also upgraded two HP's from i5 dual cores to i7 quad cores and a Lenovo T520 i5 dual core to i7 dual core. Some boards will allow to go to more cores but not many. This Toshiba has a T4400 Pentium with a socket P. The only processor I could find is p-8800 which is not much faster. What I was wanting is to install an "i" series. Hopefully an i5 or maybe i3.

I just picked up this used Toshiba L555 and it looks like brand new which would be a big plus when I complete refurbishing and upgrading it

You just may be correct but I saw it listed as "Desktop/Mobile Quad Core

Another source: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-2-Quad-Q9000-Notebook-Processor.24827.0.html

The Intel Q9000 is definitely a mobile processor. Still I've found it will not work in a Toshiba L555. With the latest BIOS update then installation, confirming both are socket P's the processor does not work with this Toshiba's board.
