Presario not working

i have a "Compaq Presario CQ56-115SO Notebook PC", that fails to start normally,
when starting it it fails to show anything on screen and "capsLock" blinking,
ive tried a another monitor, but nothing shows up on that either, it started when i had the laptop in my knee,
and i was falling in to sleep, when i wake up the computer was very hot, so i turned it off.
i have failed to start it since then.
i have windows 7 home premium x64
sry for my english.

Well you should have indicated that in the first post. A horse of another color, so to speak. It can be either a bad charging port or a bad motherboard. It is difficult to tell which. The only way to be sure is to replace the charging port which is relatively easy and cheap and if that does not work you know it is the motherboard.
This is the part you would need to replace first:

All Ports/Plugins Do not work. Compaq Presario SR5233WM Desktop PC

Hello,I am here today With a problem of Mine that I can't seem to fix on my own.I have the Compaq Presario SR5233WM Desktop PC And I have Not used it In about 10-12 months And I have finnaly turned it on to Try and use it for some stuff and I plugged it in the wall And It starts up normally no beeping sounds or nothing.So After I did that I plugged the Blue video cord into my PC and my monitor And Before this I rememberd My USB ports wouldnt work And I could not test them out again because my video did not seem to work,I had asked around and They said something about my Drivers Need Resseting? I kept on Getting different answers when I ask so I came here. So to sum everything Up. How do I reset my drivers Without Video And/or What is the problem and how to fix it with the ports not working..Thanks for your time.

Hello again ZhayneW,
Thank you for the updated information on your issue. I would like you to try the steps I am providing you below in order until your graphics return:
Step 1. As you have tried different monitors I would like you to try different cables. The cables that go from your monitor to your computer could be the issue as well. According to the Compaq Presario SR5233WM Desktop PC Product Specifications page your computer has the IPILP-LC (Lancaster8) IPILP-LC (Lancaster8) and has following I/O ports with number 2 being a VGA connection and number 7 being the USB ports you state do not work. If you are using a VGA cord to connect your monitor to the computer that is the cord I would like to see replaced or swapped out with if possible. If you have already done this move on to the next step and ensure you let me know in your next post.
Step 2. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord and open it up and place your had on the power supply for about 30 seconds to drain any electrical charge you may be holding. Now on the motherboard on the front (opposite the I/O connection indicated above) left hand side you will see the following jumpers:
These are the jumpers you need to use to clear the CMOS on your computer. Now on the off chance that your USB and Intergrated graphics have been disabled in the BIOS I am going to get you to clear the CMOS settings by moving the jumpers to look like the image below:
Leave the jumpers in this position for about 10 seconds and then return them to their original position. Reassemble the computer and do not plug it in until it is totally back together. If this was successful your computer should boot up and your display should be back.
Step 3. At this point the issue appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options. You could also go to a local computer repair and look to get it repaired as well.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Presario R4000 Laptop Audio Drivers not working

So, I've got this older Laptop, the Compaq Presario R4000.
It was giving me a really hard time with software with the original OS and stuff, so I decided to format it and install my own Windows XP Professional on it, as opposed to the Compaq-ware filled XP Home that was already on it.
So I formatted, installed Windows, and found the driver page for it.
I Flashed the BIOS despite the fact that I don't think it was necessary, but I wasn't sure.
I installed the graphics drivers no problem.
Installed the wireless device drivers, though not sure if these are working, but it's not significant.
What is significant however, is that the Audio Drivers provided on the site do not work at all. I looked for other drivers, looked for other driver versions for the OSs and various other Presario models, but nothing has worked.
I don't know what the problem is. I'm really hoping someone is able to help!
Thanks in advance.
Error Message:
BTW, I should mention what the error message I'm getting is.
A command window pops up running the following command:
c:\swsetup\SP29873>start /min \swsetup\audio\setup.exe /s
I tried fiddling with the batch file that was running these commands to see if that would help, but it doesn't.
Still always get the same error message:
"Windows cannot find '\swsetup\audio\setup.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

I have the same error message, have you figured it out yet? If yes, please tell me what you did <text deleted> Thanks

Sound Card and Wifi device Not working - Compaq Presario CQ60 -109EM AMD Sempron

I need a driver for my new note book Compaq Presario CQ60 109EM for Windows XP sp2 operating system.
It was on Vista Home Basic. I hated it because it made the computer ran very slow, i downgraded to XP Sp2
by myself, but now i am getting issues with all drivers. Everything is not working, the worse one is the sound
card and wifi device are not working event not detected by xp. Please help me.

grr i have the same problem, my laptop is the same model as urs. Go to Nvidia.com for the graphics card driver, the graphics card for our laptops is the nvidia geforce 8200 m card, just search it into the download section (it will ask you to). I cant get the internet working but im usin a usb modem. The webcam can be activated by going to the start menu and right clicking my computer and going to the manage option from here go to the device manager.
Go to the yellow section and it will say other devices it will say hp webcam now download a youcam driver or whatever and right click on the hp webcam
and select update driver click on this time only and select download from a spesific location and select the webcam driver it will hopefully work and be removed from the yellow section. now using a webcam veiwer you can use it. Thats all i know so far but i really would like to get my sound working mainly because on xp on this laptop it is pretty powerful for games as i can run crysis at medium settings at an exeptional level but obviously, NO SOUND GRR.....

Compaq Presario F767NR caps lock,scroll,touch pad blue light not working

Hi,
I have a Compaq Presario F767NR. It downgrade it to xp. All my drivers are ok. But caps lock,scroll,touch pad blue light not working though its function is ok.
I think led is ok. I find that for the scroll lock when i press fn+num lk then the blue light works fine.

I have the same problem and I think it started when I downloaded the SP2 for the Windows Vista. So probably it is not a problem of the laptop. I have an HP Pavilion dv9500 notebook PC.

HDMI output not working on Compaq Presario CQ60-430sa

Install the driver below....
http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/25059-v18644-windows-7vista-64bit-nvidia/
Any driver beyond this does not work with HMDI output.
Worked for me after 3 months of trying anyway!

When you press FN+F5 key combination while notebook is not connected with HDMI cable, you will see one option (LCD) only. When you connect HDMI cable can you see other additional options like LCD, LCD+HDMI, HDMI and so on?
Please be also sure that right HDMI port on your TV is enabled.
By the way: which OS do you use?

Please is an emergenci!!! I put my iPhone 5 to charge and the cable is not working I tried in other pluggers in the house but nothing I don't know what's wrong and I don't have any more battery

Hey I plug my iPhone 5 and the charger is not working and I'm freaking out!!! It never hasn't happened and I just have in this moment 4% I all ready tried on pther pluggers on the house and is the charges that doesn't work. What should I do?

@whimsei,
Hello and thank you for posting back. What it sounds like is the cable that connects to the screen from the motherboard has either come loose or has a issue after the fall.
To fix this it would have to be opened up and the connections checked. If there is an issue with the cable then it would have to be replaced. This will require either you opening up the system yourself and checking the connections and tha cable or sending it in for repair.
Here is the link to the maintenance and service guide. If you feel comfortable doing the work it will help you.

Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

Hello!
I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

Hi there,,,,,
I have Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 installed and Intel wifi 5100 card installed on my laptop. Wireless card does not work in Linux it works fine with Vista, I have dual boot. I have downloaded and installed the microcode for the wireless card for Linux,,,it is now active but it does not take ip address from dhcp and nor does it connect when i supply manual ip. it does not even scan for any wireless network. I have WEP enabled on my wireless network. It just says disconnected.....
Please help me.....i have been trying to get this thing work for 3 weeks.
thanks.

Power on button not working on Compaq CQ57-229 WM Notebook after shut down

My Compaq Presario CQ57-229WM Notebook PC power on/off button is not working properly. When I shut down computer, the power light stays on. I have to remove the battery to get the power light to turn off, then it turns back on and i can restart computer. If i have the battery removed, and just plugged into power strip, i have to remove the power cord to get the light to turn off then to turn back on to restart computer. the operating system iw Windows Hoem 7-64 bit.

So you are turning it off with the hardware on-off switch? Go into power options in the control panel and click "choose what the power button does"...what does it say? Generally you want to turn it off with software and by that I mean the Windows key on the keyboard then choose shut down from the popup menu. You may have it set to sleep or hibernate when you hit the power button.

Hard drive and usb not working

Greetings,
My notebook is cq60-214dx compaq presario with a windows vista basic operating system. I have pentium dual core inside.
Recently, My usb stop working, there is nothing else hooked up to it for the past year. It is not detecting my flash drive. I did the shut down and unplug thing. I also did the F10 bios test and the hard drive test failed at 61%. I went into the usb root hub and it shows each one is fine and is at 0 mA. The only thing that I see is the microsoft Isatap adapter code 31. A toredo tunneling pseudo interface -code 10 with a caution sign. I 've tried the hp down load and all kind of suggestions that is not working. Is there something I can try to fix the hard drive. I'd like to eventually go to windows 8 operatiing system but I am not fearful.

Hi newbie-515,
Unfortunately, the failure code for the hard drive is fortelling you of what is to come. In my opinion I would address the solution by the following specific actions:
1: Back up any data that can be accessed from the original drive, onto an external hard drive. To minimize the risk of losing any information.
2: Replace the failing hard drive, before it gets to the point of complete failure. This may also prevent loss of personal data.
and 3: Decide whether you want to upgrade/restore Microsoft Windows 7 onto the pc. That particular pc has current drivers available online at HP Support for the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
Once this has been completed, then you can recover any personal data that was backed up to the external hard drive, onto the newly installed hard drive.
***In this forum support is available for HP hardware/software assistance. I will provide best-effort support with your HP hardware/software. If you need assistance with software that is from any other vendor, then I may re-direct you to the appropriate reference at that time.

DVD's not working

Hi ... I am having a compaq presario v3425au notebook. From yesterday onwards I have observed a peculiar issue in my lappie. Cd's are working fine but DVD's are not getting detected.. I tried with a new sony DVD also but of no use.... I tried different CD's also.. no problenm with CD's but with DVD's only... the DVD's are working fine in other PC's and notebooks..i googled and searched here also for some answers and i have already done the registry fix for removing uppoer and lower filters.. not working .. need to try the microsoft fixit.. can anybody suggest something else?
Also in my lappie the speaker has stopped functioning after a long time.. i am able to hear the sounds through a headphone or an external speaker.. I have tried reinstalling the drivers... no use.. any suggestions?
regards,
sairam.s

Maybe time for a new laptop...on combo optical drives there is a dvd laser and a cd laser and one can go bad. The fixit is not going to work if the drive shows up in Windows Explorer at all, with dvds or cds. As far as the speakers yes they can go bad, too. Both parts can be replaced fairly easily and cheaply but what is going to go out next?
