Hi I was wondering if is possible to replace the CPU of a E1-572 laptop. This originally came withth a i3-4010U. I have an old computer where it was possible to take out the cpu and put a new one but for the E1-572 there is no a specific section on the back of the computer to get access to the cpu; Will this mean that the CPU is welded to the motherboard?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, it's soldered to the MB as it has socket support only for BGA.

Hi, from the link you send the socket name is FCBGA1168; Is this always welded?
Hi,
Yes, any CPU supports BGA(Ball Grid Array) sockets is soldered to the motherboard, all the CPUs ending with the letter U are all BGA supported CPUs.
