Replacing an LCD usually means replacing the companion inverter (usually attached under the LCD itself).
Reason is, the inverter supplies a particular voltage and amperage to the screen, not to mention the compatible wiring.

I upgraded today from a wxga to a wuxga..... you will need a new cable from the LCD to the video card and the wuxga LCD........  The xuxga cable has more connections to the LCD.

Thats it!

Make sure you install the heatsink correctly, and clean off all the old heat sink compound really good.  Make sure you add new heat sink compound and not too much! Just a dot is enough. I have been running a 2ghz Dothan in mine for over a year with no problems!

Yes, it works!  The upgrade went smoothly! I now have an extra 1.4mhz CPU...

Spent more time getting the little plastic bezel that has the power button in it off and on than anything else... I HATE pry marks, and you have to be gentle and yet a little tough here and there on it...

Upgrade time took about 20-25 mins total...

Removed Battery Keyboard, Bezel next to KB with power button, side speaker cover, CPU fan, Heatsink & cpu... Installed reverse.

I'm considering upgrading my 1.4 Banias to a 2.0 Dothan. Is this possible? Also, I'm confused about compatibility. Is SL7EM considered doable for the X1000 series?


Thanks!

X1000 1.4


YES, Just upgraded mine today!

Most batteries are only good for about 2 years.... Mine works but only gives me 30 mins of power... bought new replacement... back to 3 1/2 hours.... Old battery is going on 3 years old about now as well!

There is a RTC battery the size of a large watch battery in the notebook. This keeps the time/date and BIOS settings... Did this give you a BIOS Setup error as well?

There is a small trap door on the bottom that reviles this battery about the size of a nickle.

Tried this b4 with other laptops.... I would try to get one off e-bay... and use an external KB till ya get the replacement.  For this reason, I allways keep liquid far away from my notebook. :)

Just bought a 2ghz Dothan off e-bay, I have an A3 motherboard, I will let you know.

Current Setup
Compaq X1030US / 1GB Ram / 100G-7200 RPM HD / 32MB Video / Bluetooth / Intel 2200BG Wireless

The Bluetooth/HD/Ram/Wireless  all upgrades...  It's been a good laptop for the last 3 years bought new from Best Buy.
