Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop does not see SD card

I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop (Windows 7 64bit) that has a built in media card reader that has never worked.
When I insert the SD card it makes the "USB Beep Up sound" that says it sees the card - but when I go to MY COMPUTER, there is no device listed for the SD card. How do I read and write to an SD card with this laptop?

I have done that.
In DEVICE MANAGER I can see the SD Card show up under "Disk Drives" when the SD card is inserted, and disappear when it is removed.
Under Storage>Disk Management the SD card shows up as drive 1 (main drive is drive 0) but no drive letter.
When I right-click on the SD card Drive 1 and try to change to a drive letter, I get an error message and it will not let me. It will not let me format either.
The driver is from microsoft and is old - 6/21/2006. I did some google searching and read that a driver update would fix the issue. I uninstalled the card reader driver, got a new driver from HP and installed it, and when I inserted the SD card it loaded up the old driver...ugh.

Hi,
If you laptop works well, don't update it. If not, don't use HP Support Assistant or any other program for updating/downloading the BIOS!! Download it:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55299.exe
manually to a folder, close all running applications (browser, etc..) and then install it by double clicking on it and following the instructions..
Dv6-7000 /Full HD/Core i5-3360M/GF 650M/Corsair 8GB/Intel 7260AC/Samsung Pro 256GB

Upgrading Compaq Presario V2000 laptop

hello everyone,
I am planning on upgrading a Compaq presario V2000 laptop i currently own. I heard that it cna can only run on PC2700 RAM with a max of 1gb per slot. Currently, I have 2 X 256mb sticks installed so i plan to remove one of them and install a 1GB stick and i was wondering whether this is compatible with the laptop:
http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3274_PNY_Sodimm_1GB_DDR333_PC_2700_for_Laptop
I also wanted to upgrade the hard-drive as 40gbs just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know whether the V2000 can hold two hard-drives? Also what hard-drives are supported by the V2000? Will any IDE 2.5" hard-drive fit in or does it only support 5400rpm drives?
Thank you,
Babaquazi

Your max memory is 2 gigs or 2 x 1 gb and yes it uses DDR333 SO-DIMM memory. Here is the Crucial.com page for it:
memory
Here is the Manual:
Manual
Turn to Page 5-6 for hard drive replacement. Don't forget to save the little connector piece that goes over the hard drive pins and place it on the new drive. There is only room for one (1) drive.
You can use any IDE (PATA) 2.5 inch laptop drive of any size and rotation speed. A 7200 rpm drive will boost performace significantly.
Not sure if you have the Intel or AMD version of the V2000 but the processor is also upgradeable if you happen to have one using the Celeron or Sempron processor.

Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop SSD Upgrade

I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop the was brand new in 2003. I have a newer laptop, but an currently trying to upgrade the Presario 2100 as much as possible. It's kind of a project now and I also want to get as much use as possible out of it. I have heard that the SSDs are super fast and would improve performance quite a bit. Has anyone made the upgrade to a SSD for their Persario 2100 series laptop already? All input is appreciated, especially all of the product info that was used for the upgrade. If nobody has done this, then does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the Presario 2100 series laptop to a SSD?
Thanks,
Huck

Believe it or not the Service Manual is still available.

The Presario 2100 uses old school PATA (EIDE) hard drives which are different than the SATA SSDs you mostly see on the market. However, there are PATA SSDs. They cost a bit more per gig, obviously. I have put a PATA SSD in a laptop of about the same vintage as the Presario 2100 and it did improve the boot time and general performance significantly, but talk about the proverbial earrings on a pig!
This is a 64 gig PATA SSD which would be perfect for the Presario 2100 but is $90:

On eBay you will probably find 32 gig versions for a bit less.

Cable code isn't going to help what you need the the cable part number. Without this no one will be able to help you locate the cable. Also you should tells us the P/N that will insure someone can look into what the part is and also what is that cable for as there is no discription what it does or connects to.

System BIOS update failed

Hello,
I need your help. I ran HP System Diagnostics following recent BSOD incidents (about 3) on my Pavilion dv6. I ran all the tests successfully except Memory Test as it takes 6 hours (approximately).
Interestingly the BIOS test came up with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file". I tried running BIOS driver update from th HP website for my dv6 notebook but I am not sure it worked. During the update the computer would shut down - is that normal?
What can I do to check that my BIOS from 25 January 2013 is the current version? More importantly prevent future BSOD appearing. I have plenty of memory, so rather intrigued. Ran Norton and Microsoft Security and no viruses etc.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks,
Barbs

Hi,
So the system shut down is normal for BIOS update and if I can restart the computer, therefore assuming the update worked.
I checked HP System Diagnostics the BIOS test still returns with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Barbs

Compaq presario cq60 210-us bios update failed

I tried to update the BIOS of my Compaq Presario CQ60-210US notebook using the driver downloaded from the HP Support website. The update failed, the computer locked up and would not take any input from the keyboard or the mousepad. I did a hard reset and now the notebook won't boot at all.
I tried following the steps to restore a corrupted BIOS (windows key + B + power for 3 seconds) several times but the notebook still will not boot.
There are instructions for using an HP_TOOLS USB drive to restore the BIOS, but I can't figure out how to create that USB drive. There are no links and no instructions to create it. When I search HP.com it takes me right back to the same page.
Help!

See if someone will reprogram your bios here:

Compaq Presario CQ57 Laptop System Bios recovery problem

A customer of mine has a Compaq Presario CQ57 that has developed a BIOS problem.
I am unsure if it had had a BIOS update through HP Support Assistant or if it just decided to start for no reason but it now intermittently decides to recover the System BIOS at start up.
It is all very random. It may not do it for a while - working fine every time it is switched on - but then just decides to go into this recovery. Sometimes the recovery sorts it first time, sometimes it has to go through the recovery mode several times before it sorts it out. Once sorted, Windows and the laptop work fine.
I have tried to remedy it by installing BIOS updates. There are 4 available on the HP website. I have installed all four at various points - sometimes they install, sometimes they fail. Sometimes the recovery mode kicks in straight after - usually after a fail which makes sense. Other times it will work OK for many start ups and then just go back to it's old tricks.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hello rmaiden,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Compaq Presario CQ57-212NR gives you an error after running the system recovery.
Can you tell me if this error loads within Windows or if it prevents you from starting up.
I would suggest you acquire an ISO image of Windows 7 and burn it to a DVD. Use this to install Windows and then run the recovery after. This should remedy the problem.
Let me know if this works for you!

HP Compaq 8510w BIOS Update failed, stuck in bootloop.

Let me begin with how this happened. I wanted to create a Hackintosh and decided to use my HP Compaq 8510w for that purpose. But since HP whitelists what WiFi cards you can use (OS X is not compatible with Intel), I had to flash a custom BIOS that removed the restrictions. This flashing worked though it would say it failed and should be flashed again. But it would still work and load everything correctly. I finally decided to restore the BIOS but the installation failed and the laptop is now stuck in a boot loop. I want to know is there any way I can recover the BIOS (WITHOUT SENDING THE UNIT IN FOR REPAIRS) or if I need to purchase a new Motherboard for it. I have tried using the Win+B recovery method though I might have done something wrong because the laptop takes no notice. Do I have to use a USB Floppy or can a Flashdrive be used?
Thanks,
Mark

try it without naming the file. there is only one file that is a ROM filetype. That is the EUR5.14 file in the F5.14 BIOS update. There is also a F.5.11 available under XP. The OS does not matter as this is cross platform code that is loaded before the operating system.
If the preceding does not work then you wil have to go online and find a BIOS recovery company that is relatively local to you. Their websites cover what you need to do for them (provide a valid ROM file. (perhaps a eeprom chip matching the one in your PC)
Going to this level is sometimes a bit too much for non techies as it requires acquiring and properly using a special tool to remove and install the CMOS eeprom chip. I have no idea what level of expertise you have.
Best regards,
erico
