CPU upgrade on a Dell Latitude E6400 results in in a dead system
I have recently bought a Core 2 Duo T9900 for my Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, after having read the following Dell community thread.
Unfortunately, I obtain a blank screen after pressing the power button (no BIOS screen at all). I exclude possible assemblage mistakes, indeed re-installing the previous CPU (P8400) made my laptop live as before.
I also tried updating the BIOS, but the problems persists. Could I kindly ask for an opinion?
It is possible that the CPU is not really supported? Or damaged? In such a case, could a T9600 represent a possible reasonable alternative?
