I think that your processor is bad...In my case worked
My upgrade (amilo pro v2030):
- RAM from 512Mb (2x256) to 2 Gb (2x1Gb, Kingmax)
- battery from stock (max 1h) to 4400 mAh (2h)
- HDD from Samsung 40Gb to Samsung 160Gb s-ata II
- CPU from Celeron M 1.5 GHz to Pentium M 1.7 GHZ (SL7EP)
With CPU upgrade I had some emotions (stuck at 600 MHZ) but after installing RM CPU Clock Utility I resolved.
My profile in RM Clock is "Performance on demand" using P-state transitions (PST) with 2 positions: 1st at 6x multiplier and 0,988 V and 2st at 17x multiplier at 1,34 V. The average CPU temperature is around 50 degrees.

I have found out that my V2030 version has a so-called embedded processor (Intel® Celeron® M Processor 370):

Does that mean it's integrated into the mainboard and therefore not upgradeable? I'd rather know before I start disassempling my laptop.
Another thing, if I get a processor with Enhanced Intel® Speedstep Technology, will I still need a program to change voltage?
Thanks in advance!

I never heard that some V2030 have the CPU integrated, so I think you should just follow the tutorial and have a look.

Another thing, if I get a processor with Enhanced Intel® Speedstep Technology, will I still need a program to change voltage?

In theory, it should work without a special program, the BIOS just has to support (and use) EIST. If reloading the BIOS defaults doesn't help, then you can try to activate EIST with RM Clock - at least some years ago there was a checkbox for EIST. Then it worked even without RM Clock (after the next reboot). But I don't know if this works always or only sometimes.
In every case it seems to work with special software always running.
