4530s Upgrades

[susono]

For the people who already swap the processor, I have a 4530s; Please, look at the picture and tell me if there is something under the red rectangle dots that can be broken (Cables) if a cut it. If I do this the CPU can be easy to swap ?
If I swap the CPU the same way other did(take a part lots of things) I would make this hole in case something goes wrong or decide to replace the CPU for better one in the future.
Do you think is possible ?

Yes, you can cut that piece off with out damaging anything, but it won't do you any good. That copper wire is a heat pipe which if bent will break, and is attached to the fan. So it's not moveable without removing the fan. If you get that far in your disassembly, then it's 2 more steps for hp's recommended swap.

I did it all in under 30m, everything is very straight forword.

Speaking of keyboards, how much different is the HP's the a MacBook's? Could this be a solution

Also, anybody can recommend a good place to buy an SSD Caddy for the optical drive?

What do you mean? To put a keyboard or part of it, of Macbook to 453s? No way!

Ebay

Thanks for the answer. I quickly checked eBay, but couldn't find anything specific to a 4530 and/or 4430 and/or 4730 ... Do I need something specific?

About the keyboard, I thought maybe the keys could be swapped, depending on how much HP copied Apple for the design

That would still leave behind the problem of the actual lighting anyways.

Awesome! I'll bet the celeron models are really cheap, and a great option if you're already planning on upgrading the proc from the i3 to an i5/i7
