Hi,
I found some contraversial information on this, so could someone confirm if the normal voltage version of x61 has a socketed or soldered CPU?
Thanks

Hi kg216, welcome to the forum,
it would appear, according to the
HMM that the CPU is not listed as a separate item, namely with the MB. I would therefore presume it is soldered.

HMM clearly states:
Following components soldered on the top and bottom sides of the system board are extremely sensitive. When you service the system board, avoid any kind of rough handling.
