Cpu swap on an Laptop Samsung RF511

[Krock49]

Hi, i have an old laptop with an i5-2410M, the cpu is not soldered, and it can be swapped.

I've done multiple search an i find, according to this http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_i5_Mobile/i5-2410M_(PGA).html,

that a swap can be possible with other processor. I also know that this particular pc, came also with i7 2630QM, that i think not gonna work if i put on because of the more higher TDP,

but i found an i7-2620M that have the same 35 TDP. In other forum i found people that checked the bios of both i5 motherboard and i7 motherboard and saw that , bios side, there is no TDP limitation.

How i can be sure that the things gonna work? They tried with the much higer tdp cpu, and didn't boot it up. With a same TDP, could i have more chance?

thank you in advice

the laptop will likely not boot with a different cpu in it.

Like there is some lock on the bios that prevent to boot if saw that the cpu isn't allowed, also if meet the same specs of tdp?
