Black screen Presario CQ62-219WM Clear CMOS jumper pins

About 2 years ago I bought my son the laptop for school from Walmart new. 6 months later, he brought it back to me from his Mom's and said it quit working. At that time, to check it out first, it booted to the HP screen only. Tried to get into the BIos with F2 but it was unsuccessful. Did the usual hard rested sequence with battery out,->unplug adapter-> Hold power button down 1 minute -> reboot with battery only and then with adapter plugged in. No change. Removing the RAM modules didn't make a difference. I replaced both Memory card to 2 GB X2 . Still wouldn't boot. Removed the HDD and replaced it with a known working drive from another 64 bit Wndows 7 OS and that didn't work. The original HDD is readable because it worked in the exchange. As a last resort, I built an Ubuntu live USB put that into the USB port on the presario (32 bit Ubuntu) and no success either. Can't reflash the BIOS. I decided that before I do anything more I would just take it back to Walmart as it was less than a year old and was directed to do so by HP (return it to where it was purchased). When I did, I was informed that because I was concerned of a motherboard problem, it was not covered under warranty and I was essentially stuck. I was recently unemployed so that was it. Went home, read some more and looked at the board and the capacitors visually and nothing grossly abnormal. I tried clearing the CMOS only by removing the battery and cold storing it for 24 hrs. Replaced it and still nothing. Read about the jumpers to CLRCMOS but I have looked on both sides of the board And there are no free pins, and nothing that Identifies anything to say clr CMOS or a variation of that. He wants to have his own back even though it has been a valuable learning tool. So .... Do you have a final suggestion other than go on eBay, buy a new board for $90, and quit trying to fix an unrepairable problem? He's going back to school and I still am out of work. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

There are no clear CMOS jumpers on the board. My best suggestion is to use one of the motherboard repair services on eBay. They can identify and repair defective chips on the board using advanced equipment. If you can remove the board and ship them just that, I have seen the service for as little as $70. Obviously you can handle removing the motherboard.

I have no affiliation with this person and there are several other similar ones on eBay. Most of the used motherboards you get on eBay have had a procedure like this done to them anyway.

Can you overclock a compaq presario CQ62-219WM laptop?

Is there a way to overclock my Compaq Presario CQ62-219WM? I really need a few more GHz...

There is no way to overclock in hardware as with a desktop. There may be software overclocking options, visit www.overclock.net but any overclocking of a laptop is ill-advised and darn near impossible, anyway. The cooling system is built to work at stock speeds and canot be improved very much. If you want a faster computer, sell the one you have and buy a new one. If you want to try to game on the system you have it is a lost cause. The problem is not the CPU it is the GPU, which cannot be upgraded in any way as it is soldered to the motherboard.

Clear cmos jumper

P43 neo board (ms-7519)
Could someone confirm which is pin 1 on the clear cmos jumper. From the manual it looks like the pin nearest the heatsink. If this is correct the board was supplied with the link in the clear data position which seems strange to me.
Thanks,
Paul

Jbat1 is the clear cmos jumper, to clear cmos just shift the jumper to 2-3 and remember to switch back to 1-2 after you have clearing cmos, alternatively you can also remove the cmos batt
By default the jumper cap should be at pin 1-2(keep data) if no one has messed with it

[Athlon64] Clear CMOS Jumper orientation ???

I have a new MSI RS480M/RS482M Motherboard and the clear CMOS pin orientation is a little confusing. With the video connectosr and other connectors at the rear you normally count left to right, top to bottom, but the jumper came on the pins on the right side which would be pins 2 & 3 and in that case means "Clear CMOS". Which means of course if I boot that way I'll damage the motherboard. Since the numbers are not printscreened I can't tell which pin is number 1 so I'm not sure how to jumper it for "Keep CMOS Data"? Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Foxbat. Yep .... I understand that. I guess my question is: Which pin is number 1? If you are looking at the pins from the left side of the motherboard the pins would be vertical and top to bottem would be 1,2,3. However, if you are looking at the pins from a position that all the connectors are in the back (video, com, audio) then ... normally (going by all the old rules - left to right, top to bottem) #1 would be different, the pins would be horizontal and #1 would be on the left side and just the opposite. So it depends on how you position the motherboard when you look at it. Looking at pin #s that are printscreened (the ones that happen to be numbered) there is no consistent method of numbering .... and I cannot see any numbering on the CMOS pins. Thus my dilemma.

Black screen presario CQ57

When I turn my Presario CQ57 laptop on the screen remains black. The power is emitting blue light and the F12 is emitting orange but the caps lock button will flash blue two times, pause, then repeat the cycle. I have tried to hard reset the laptop several times yet I can not figure out the problem. I have searched everywhere on this site but can't seem to find an answer anywhere, please help.

Hi,
Two time blink on the caps locks issue is related to BIOS corruption. Check the below link for more information

Clear CMOS jumper position

I have a P55A-GD65 motherboard.
I'm wondering which position of the JBAT1 jumper corresponds to 1-2 and which to 2-3, as I cannot see any labeling on the motherboard, nor is the manual clear on this topic.

If you never touched the jumper before, and the board has been working fine, then the jumper is currently in the 'KEEP DATA' position, which is pins 1-2.

Turning off HotKeys on Compaq Presario CQ62-219WM

In my opinion, HotKeys are the most useless and annoying "feature" that has ever been implimented on a computer. I have had this one for over 3 months now, but still have not figured out how to turn off these pesky keys.
Please help,
Thanks in advance!

Clear CMOS - without moving jumper/pins

Thinking about trying to OC my 3000+(W)@Neo2.
My case and eq. in genreall makes it hard to clear CMOS the "old way", and I remember someone telling of a keystroke one could do under reboot to clear CMOS.
How can I do this on the Neo2 and what are the dissadvantages?

Quote
Syar2003
If "Ins" Key is held down when powering up , system starts with reduced fsb and other safe settings . Making that clear cmos jumper uneccesary when OC has gone bad.
Note ! It must be powered off and powered on with the key pressed (just restart key + "ins" wont work).

Black screen on boot /w four red LEDs on D-Bracket

Whenever I go switch the power off on my PSU and turn it back on, and after pressing the power button on the front of the computer it doesn't post it acts as if I kept pressing the reset button.
The D-braket shows 4 red leds (which means damaged/not installed processor).
But if I hold the power button to turn if off, then I turn it back on it works flawlessly!
Am I doing something wrong? I didn't have this problem before.
Specs are below....
BioHaz

I did a Google search and found this below...
This happens to be my exact same problem, it happens when you turn on the PSU switch then turn on the computer immediately after that. It seems like you just have to wait.
Is this a common problem?
Should I worry about this?
Quote
The old black screen on boot up with four red LEDs on the D-Bracket
is a fairly common problem.
So far I've only seen four fixes for the problem.
1. Defective motherboard (Although this is seldom the problem)
2. Power supply is defective, or you forgot to connect the four
wire auxiliary power connecter to the motherboard. The auxiliary power
connecter must be connected for this motherboard to work.
3. Your reset switch is stuck. Disconnect the reset switch from the
motherboard, then try to boot up.
4. This one is weird. It fixed my problem, however, based on the
troubleshooting you've done, I don't hold out hope it will fix yours.
For some strange reason, some MSI motherboards will not boot
if you've just plugged them in. Plug in the computer, make sure
the power strip and the switch on the power supply are all in the
"ON" position, then go grab a beer. After waiting a couple of minutes,
turn on the computer.
I know it sounds weird. But I have the same motherboard and CPU.
If I turn on the power strip and attempt to boot my computer immediately,
I get a black screen and four red LEDs. If I turn on the power strip and
wait a minute or two, the computer boots up every time and works
perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Clear CMOS did not reset BIOS Password

OK please read my whole post before telling me to try something I already tried.
I have a somewhat unique problem.
My system:
MSI 870A-G54
AMD Phenom II x6 1055T
Windows 7
I have a system password setup through BIOS. Every time I reboot I enter the password. I have not forgotten my password.
I was having an issue getting into the BIOS, I would push Delete and on the POST screen it would say "Preparing to enter Setup" then the system password would prompt. I would enter it and then Windows would boot, no BIOS setup.
This happened over and over. I got fed up and decided to nuke the problem. I powered down, unplugged and set the clear CMOS jumper, waited about 20 seconds, reset the jumper, plugged in and powered up.
Then I pushed delete again, POST returned an error "CMOS not set, date and time wrong, press F1 for setup F2 to load defaults and boot.
I Press F1 and there is the password prompt. Only now my password doesn't work. Enter (blank) doesn't work.
So a clear CMOS again, only this time I pull the battery out too.
Same result.
So I pull out the battery and set the clear jumper and wait 1 hour.
Same result.
So I set the CMOS clear jumper and boot the system (yes I know the manual says not to do this) Obviously no post, 1 minute later I reset the jumper and reboot.
Same result.
So I download the MSI HQ BIOS tool and flashed the most recent BIOS, clear CMOS.
Same result.
My system works fine and I no longer have to enter a password to boot to Windows, but I am locked out of BIOS.
Please tell me there is a solution.
Thank You

Got it! Was doing it wrong way leaving all spaces blank but it doesn't work because it always prompts you to enter your current password; so that's Current Password > "your current password" hit enterNew Password > "leave blank" hit enterConfirm New Password> "leave blank" hit enter and it prompts you to "CONTINUE with save changes?" > hit enter and Password changes from <SET> to <CLEAR>; SAVE & Exit and it's done. Thank you!

I do not think that this peticular one you've chosen will work I have the same laptop I upgraded to a T6400. It was very easy. I know you can put a T8100 in it for sure, but I'm pretty sure you can go all the way to a T9500. I am currently about to try a T9300.

Pavilion p6-2133w - Wont post/boot without clearing cmos first

I really need some advice guys. My dad just recemtly bought this computer from a friend (friend says it had no problems) which could be true.
I did a fresh format after downloading all drivers from HP, installed them all incuding the bios update (which i think is my problem) and now i have to clear cmos every single time before it will boot or even post, if i dont clear cmos the computer does turn on (fans have power) but the monitor stays black. When i do clear cmos the pc boots fine and the only thing i notice wrong is some files wont download thru IE (like adobe flash, says no internet connection when the adobe installer trys to download) and im getting constant sec.certificate display blocked errors thru IE other then that it runs fine.
So im assuming something went wrong installing the bios update, im praying somebody has or even knows what the original bios is supposed to be ? or someway i can fix it. I have since done another format and tried reinstalling the bios update and all other drivers but nothing changes
Any advice, opinions, or idea's would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Your notebook specifications, according to the Mainetnence & Service guide:
Supports all 9.5-mm,6.35-cm(2.50-in) SATA hard drives
SSD drives will work in your notebook and you will find that the performance increase is incredible. SSD capacity is a matter of how much you are willing to spend.
My own preferences are OCZ Technology, Intel, Corsair and Crucial SSD drives.
The current generation of SSD drives is SATA3, but your notebook will never see that kind of bandwidth because of its own SATA controller limitations.
I highly recommend that you take a read of this Tom's Hardware article before making the decision on which one to buy.
Consider an SSD upgrade kit instead of just an SSD by itself.
Otherwise, upgrading to an SSD can be for some people, a bit daunting because of the technical nature of the utility (specifically Diskpart) required to prepare the SSD for use. The upgrade kits are delivered with a usb cable that enables connection of the new SSD to one of your notebook's usb ports. With the USB connnected SSD and the included cloning software an upgrade is a pretty straightforward process. Clone the current drive and the remove the old one and replace it with the new high bandwidth SSD. That is all it takes.

COMPAQ CQ62-219WM CPU UPGRADE

Compaq Presario CQ62-219WM, GL40 chipset. After upgrading BIOS, I mounted an Intel T9300 SLAYY CPU. Everything went well and this is a markedly better laptop now. It sure beats the old single core Celeron that the laptop came with. All in all, not a bad $65 investment.

Hi,
You can see the list of processors on Page 91 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
I would always double check with HP when you have made your choice to ensure it's compatable.
