Abstract:
1. A changeable central processing unit (CPU) module apparatus for a notebook computer, comprising: a system control module board, including a keyboard controller, an input/output controller, a power controller, a video/audio controller, a universal serial bus (USB) and a first bus connector, the first bus connector being connected to the keyboard controller, the input/output controller, the power controller, the video/audio controller, and the USB; and a CPU module board, including a power connector, a south/north bridging device, a CPU, a dynamic memory, a basic input/output system (BIOS) and a second bus connector, the south/north bridging device being connected to the CPU, the dynamic memory and the second bus connector, the power connector being connected to an external power source to provide power to the south/north bridging device, the CPU, the dynamic memory and basic input/output system (BIOS); wherein the first bus connector matches the second bus connector and the first bus connector is connected to the second bus connector, wherein the system control module board includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the keyboard controller, the input/output controller, the power controller, the video/audio controller and the USB are provided on the first surface of the system control module board, and the first bus connector is provided on the second surface of the system control module board; and wherein the CPU module board includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the south/north bridging device, the CPU, the dynamic memory and the basic input/output system (BIOS) are provided on the first surface of the CPU module board, the second bus connector extends from the CPU module board, such that when the first bus connector is connected to the second bus connector, the second surface of the CPU module board faces the second surface of the system control module board and overlaps thereon.
