Laptop screen wont turn on after replacing proccessor
Last response: in CPUs
Hello,
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5534-5950 with a AMD Athlon 1.6 GHz processor. Oh wait! No, it's a AMD Phenom 2 duel core 2.8 GHz processor now! Only one problem with it, the screen doesn't turn on when I press the power button. I switched back to the other processor and it worked fine, so I don't understand why my system doesn't turn on. Any ideas?

Well just because the CPU fits in the socket does not mean it is guaranteed to work.
If the BIOS does not recognize the new CPU, then it will not book. Your only hope is if Acer released a new BIOS for your laptop that will allow it to recognize the new CPU. Doubtful, but you got nothing else to loose by checking.

So, I can't update the BIOS yet, as I'm going to a New Years dinner, but I'm going to leave this link while I'm gone because I think it may have the update I'm looking for. If I'm wasting my time in downloading these though, I'd like to know. http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=17...

This easy. The board doesn't support the processor. Don't know where you got the idea that would work. That is a socket s1 board.
