From what I have read, the LS series has the CPU integrated onto the motherboard. That means it is not possible to change it out for a new one.

The only way to confirm this is to open up your LS and find out. Though I'd only recommend opening up a laptop if you know what you are doing.

oh... that'd suck if its intergrated... i'll have to contact the person who I bought it from (I got it refurbished.)

awesome. thanks heaps man.

I don't think this will help you given that you have a BGA processor, but Tom's hardware has a very good article about the older Intel lappy CPUS http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20001107/index.html

Maybe you can use this in the future if you get another laptop. And by the way, I still have those PIII 700 Mhz Mobile CPU's sitting around if you ever need them.
