FS315E processor upgrade

Hi all. I got this laptop as an insurance replacement and i wanted to know if the processor can be upgraded to a 'proper' pentium 4 M processor, the celeron is soo slow! Is this possible, and if so does anyone know how to disassemble this particular laptop, or have a service manual for it?TIA

If my memory serves me correctly a Celeron is the "same" as a Pentium 4 chip albeit lobotomised.

The P4M chip has different voltages so you cannot just drop a P4M chip into a Pentium 4 socket.

Even if this were possible the thicknesses of the chips are different which could cause problems with the laptop heatsink.
