Will a P9600 work with my T400 6475-WL9?

Currently the machine has a P8400 which Intel says supports sockets "BGA479, PGA478". The P9600 supports only PGA478.

I installed a P9600 in one of my T400's.

BGA is a solder-to-the-board package. PGA478 is a package with pins intended for a socket. Generally, surplus CPUs on eBay are PGA. You should see the pins in the pictures.

Is the original P8400 soldered to the board? (I haven't looked).

No, it's plug-in PGA.

Don't EVER look to Intel for socket support. Intel does not actually tell you what sockets it uses. It is garbage. Look on Wikipedia instead.

The P9600 is Socket P and will work 100% fine in your computer.
