    HP Elitebook 8560p modding CPU support?

    I have a few HP Elitebooks 8560p with missing CPUs, i have some 2nd gen i3 and i5's, but not enough for all of them, i have a few 3rd gen CPUs, but they don't seem to work with the laptop at all, even on the latest BIOS.

    Is there a way to add CPU support to the BIOS file? If it can even be done since HP and other laptop makers lock down BIOSes.

    I've attached the BIOS dump with the latest version installed. Thanks for the help in advance!

    Ivy Bridge CPUs are not supported. Would require updating ME major version to 8, VBIOS, microcode and other modules, too much work and too difficult to do with little chance of success especially on a laptop.
    All socket G2 Sandy Bridge CPUs should be supported.

      Thank you, thought there was a potential of this already being a thing :P

      Will try to find more Sandy Bridge CPUs then.
