    Just a guess from looking at the specs I'd say your laptop does not support the much newer Turion Ultra II. Just because a chip is the same socket doesn't mean the board can support it because many OEMs don't update bios information on older boards to support the new chips.

    AMD Turion™ 64 X2 dual-core TL-50/TL-52/TL-56/TL-
    60/TL-62 processor or higher with 1 MB L2 cache,
    supporting AMD PowerNow!™ Technology and AMD
    HyperTransport™ Technology
    • Mobile AMD Sempron™ 3200+/3400+/3500+ or
    higher with 512 KB L2 cache, supporting AMD
    PowerNow!™ Technology and AMD
    Specs from Acer
