Sorry, but no. Not unless you have a very sophisticated soldering station at which you can remove the old processor and install a new processor directly to the motherboard of the laptop. The only option that a typical technician has is to replace the entire motherboard and the replacement board would have the same processor installed, so if your idea is to gain additional processing power by upgrading, you would have no advantage in doing this. Laptop motherboards are proprietary and each model of laptop has its own design of motherboard. Therefore, they are not interchangeable.

If you have other questions about this or other such related issues, feel free to drop me a line. I'm always glad to help (or, as in this case, at least advise).
