Help on Updating Microcode for Latitude E5500 BIOS

Hello everyone,

-I currently have a Dell Latitude E5500 laptop with me, and I'm intending to change its processor to a Pentium Dual-Core T2330.

-Unfortunately, according to official Dell documentations, it seems that Dell only allowed Core 2 Duo or Celeron (socket P) to be installed into this laptop.

-The laptop has already been updated to the latest A19 BIOS, but it wouldn't boot with this T2330 installed (blinking Caps Lock LED).

-I've never tried updating/adding microcode into the BIOS (just done minor BIOS mods before), so I hope some experts could help me on this.

-1066MHz FSB support is mentioned in official Dell documentations, and it uses Intel GE45 chipset, so this model should support both 65nm Meroms and 45nm Penryns (but artificially/intentionally limited to Core 2 Duo and Celeron brands/range only).
