Clinton help? Compaq Presario 2500 and HTT?

Hi, Yes I know its an old comp but this forum has the most helpfull answers pertaining to it.
I noticed Clinton seems to have a fair bit of experience re the 2500.
My question is: can the 2500 utilise HTT?
Motherboard: 31KT9MB0056.......CF3J
418IQAMBQTF85442.
S/N [text removed for privacy]
P/N DY720PA#ABG.
I have just this week pulled it down and cleaned out the fluff etc. Administered a drop of Artic paste to the lid,( didn't appear to have any whatsoever originally?) and lowered the idle temp from a noisy 61c+ to 41c silent.(no fans).
I wish to change the CPU to an SL725 or the HTT version if the MB will take it.
All help and tips appreciated.
regards,
Eddie.

For using Xorg on an Ati IGP345m, you have to compile the old driver (6.7.195) using makepkg.
Here is the PKGBUILD with all you need to compile it, then install the package with pacman -Uf, and that's it.

HP Compaq Presario 2500 circuit diagram or some constructive help

Hello,
i have a Compaq Presario 2500 that has no power. The laptop is totally dead. Everything happened after disassembling
and thermal paste changing. Previously the laptop had some heating issues, since this laptop is pretty old and was never
opened and cleaned. I decided to disassemble it and perform a cleaning and thermal paste changement. The CPU was pulled out and sticking on the heatsink since the old compound was totally dried out and it literally glued it onto the heatsink. After reasembling laptop totally dead. After 10 minutes the battery charge led starts to lightning, but laptop will not turn on. I measured several points on the motherboard, and i was able to measure some voltage presence. Has somebody a circuit diagram ?
It is a rare motherboard that has no fuse near the DC Jack. I noticed only 2 fuses on the entire board.
F1 has a sign p10 and is near the switch board port located, the other one is placed more near the DC Jack and is white colored and has a sign 2, which is standing for 2A ? Or am i wrong ?
I don`t know further, has someone a suggestion or a circuit diagram ?
The laptop has no real value, and i will not invest into a new motherboard, so i hope i will get some advices from you guys in order to get this laptop to work. Btw i tried another CPU too, but the laptop has the same condition with no changements.
Here is the motherboard model : DAKT9DMB6F1 KT9D
Thanks in advance

Compaq Presario 2500 DP663AV

I put a wifi card into this computer and while I did that I put a little switch with a blue light into it, also. The light stays on all the time and the switch does not work. It is supposed to turn the WiFi on/off but doesn't do anything . I know it is a driver that I cannot find that will fix the problem. HELP! Please?

I accidently cracked the screen of my laptop. How much will it cost to fix it.

Most likely a couple hundred, depending on the size of the screen. Do you have any sort of service plan on it?

I called tech support but no one there speaks understandable english...what do I do?

Are you following these instructions in the Notes in the article above?
Notes:
Avoid connecting AirPrint-capable printers to the USB port of Apple AirPort Base Stations or Time Capsules. Doing so can enable traditional AirPort printing from a Mac, but it will not enable AirPrint functions for iOS devices. If you cannot use Wi-Fi networking to connect the AirPrint-capable printer, use an Ethernet connection from the AirPrint-capable printer to the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
Wi-Fi printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

Compaq Presario 2586US laptop - hard drive upgrade

I recently took a chance and bought 2 "parts only" Compaq Presario 2500 series laptops off Ebay and was able to make a single working PC with the motherboard from the 2586US being the motherboard I used. I did not have a hard disk, so I bought a Samsung 160gb ATA drive. Turns out I didn't need the little adapter on the bus end because it just plugged right into the socket on the motherboard. The drive is supposed to be either ATA133 or ATA100 at the top end (I don't remember which). I put the drive in and installed Windows. I noticed that it seemed slow but Windows showed the disk at full size. Then I went to dual-boot with a Linux distribution and encountered errors. Through a lot of searching on the web I found out the BIOS and apparently the IDE interface itself (?) doesn't allow a disk larger than 137gb. I checked the BIOS and indeed it says maximum usable size 137gb. It also shows the transfer rate at DMA2 which, if I understand things correctly means it is only transferring at 33mb instead of 100mb or 133mb. The service manual says ATA100, so it should support a DMA5 transfer rate.
I don't claim to understand all of this at all. So, I'm looking for help.
(1) Is there anyway to go beyond 137gb on a hard drive in this laptop?
(2) If not, is the fact that my drive is actually 160gb when the PC only supports 137gb causing more problems?
(3) What do I have to do to get a transfer rate beyond DMA2? The BIOS setup won't let me tab to that field to change it.
Thank you for any help and explanations that I can understand. Keep in mind I'm just your average Joe and not some sort of expert at all. I found a lot of this on the web but not sure what it all means.
Thanks in advance!
Dave

It originally had a 256mb and a 512mb SODIMM, but they were unmatched. I just went ahead and bought 2 Samsung 512mb matched SODIMM's, so I have 1 gig of memory.
I installed Windows XP Professional SP2, then the Compaq drivers, then SP3, then all the Windows updates, then I installed ubuntu Linux 10.04 - 1 small partition for swap, 1 larger partition for everything else.
I did re-do my disk: I shrank the Windows partition again, deleted the Linux partitions so I had 1 huge empty space, then created a 30gig partition at the end of the drive, then installed Linux. Windows still seems to work fine, and Linux at least boots now. So I guess the first thing I'm going to do is waste 30gb of space for being dumb when I bought the drive. The DMA2 thing has me bothered - the Service Manual lists the 2500 series as all ATA100. Is it possible that as one web site said, the BIOS is detecting too large of drive and therefore thinks an error and slows the drive down? I would have thought since the Service Manual (page 1-23, Mass Storage ) says it supports ATA100 (ultraDMA5?) that it would either say DMA5 in the transfer field or at least let me change it.
This is getting quite a bit above my knowledge base as far as why it's running the transfer at DMA2. On the Internal Hard Disk BIOS set up page it says "Auto" for the type. When I change that to "User Defined", I can tab to the transfer field, but the selections are all PIO or up to DMA2 - nothing above that. That seems like some kind of BIOS error or else the Service Manual is in error.
Thanks for your help so far! Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Compaq Presario cq50, power.

A while ago, I had a problem with my laptop, caused by several updates. Suddenly, it stopped working, (battery was ruined), and I thought the power cord was the problem. So I bought a new one (according to the specifications of the previous one). And effectively, it worked. Nevertheless, after a few minutes, it shut down, and the light located next to the power cord entrance was blinking. I tried to turn it on again, but it was no use. The next day, I turned it on again, worked, and after a while shut down.
I opened it, the fan was relatively clean, and everything looked normal.
What do I do?
I could work without the battery before, so I do not think that's the problem.

Hi @FermiEffect ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Compaq Presario 50 and issues with your AC adapter. What are the specs of the adapter you installed?
Yours is 65-W AC adapter and should not be a travel adapter.
Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
Here is a link to troubleshoot the Ac adapter.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

My Compaq Presario C700 shuts down at randomly and there is no noise coming from the machine at all

My laptop will only turn on for about ten minutes before dying, it doesn't even go through the usual shut down process, it just turns off. Also, there is no sound of a fan or any humming coming from the computer. Before this problem of the random shutting down started, there was always a humming sound coming out. This happened to the computer about a year ago, and I gave it into PC World (Ireland) and they wiped the system and it worked again. So, the minute I saw the same thing happening I backed everything up and wiped it myself, I set up my user in vista again, but the computer was the same and was turning off randomly.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?? Thanks for your help.
PS: It's A HP Compaq Presario C700 Series Notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium.

There may be a real hardware issue (like spanning above mentioned.) When I lose sound on my phone, here are the things I try, in no particular order:
If you use Apple TV, open a movie file (you tube, music video, anything you can play over Apple TV.) Switch to Apple TV playout and then switch back to your phone. If you left the phone going out to Apple TV, it may have kept the sound routing there -- switching back and forth again should reset it back to playing to your iPhone speakers.
If you use headphones, stick the headphones in and out again. Same kind of idea, the headphone detection may have been incorrect, and the toggle in & out will help it reset back to your speakers.
If you play games, go into a game with sound and adjust the volume there. There are actually three different volume settings (as far as I have experimented with) ringer, "normal" volume, and game volume... it's a little buggy figuring out which one your phone should be using
