    I'm looking into upgrading my processor in my 6920G from a T5800 to an T8300. I was wondering if anyone would be as kind to help me with a guide of how to do it (since i don't have much of clue of how to change the processor beyond needing thermal paste and a screwdriver).

    Any help is appreciated :)

    Welcome to the forums, Kaiby9!
    You're in luck - I did the exact same upgrade myself.
    Check the thread over here for help.

    The service guide does exist, but it can't be shared over NBR. Sorry!

    BUY it?
    I'm sorry, no one should be selling those things to you unless Acer themselves gave the OK (which I highly doubt).
