Inspiron mini 1018 CPU replace

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the Dell Community @heavysci

They may have the same socket but they are not compatible.

One question, how did you replace the CPU???

I thought it was soldered to the system board???

Best regards,

I think the CPU's are soldered on to the motherboard so you would need a new motherboard and that board would have support for the CPU that is soldered on to it.

Re-soldering is not a problem.

I checked pinout configuration of n2800 and n455. A lot of pins have some different functionality.

What about N570 bios support?
