Compaq Laptop

Hi All,
I have been keeping my eyes open to see the Compaq laptop back in stock at my bestbuy (the Parma OH location, area code 44129). However, these haven't been in stock for a long time. my friend has this laptop and i've been checking since school start at the beginning of the month and they aren't in stock. I am looking in the under $450 range and need a laptop that has Vista Home Premium, and good enough specs to run Photoshop & a few games like Peggle Deluxe (NOT big games)
I would get the new Acer that's displayed, but it is only Single-Core and I hear that it's slow.
The Compaq would be perfect for my uses, and price range. Now the last few days it's showing as an outlet item...
Any details on more coming to the Parma OH store? or something very similar to it in my price range?

Thanks for the help! I know I can trust Best Buy!

If it is showing up as a outlet item them the stores will most likely not get anymore. The website says the BB located at Mayfield Road OH

1417 Golden Gate Blvd,

Mayfield Heights,

OH

44124 has them in stock.

Hi @Qd1 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I gather that you have sound when you connect head phones but not on the internal speakers.
When I checked Compaq Presario C700 CTO Notebook Software and Drivers, I noticed Windows 7 was not a supported Operating System. I am not sure if that is your exact model as you only provided the series.
As Windows 7 has not been tested on your notebook the outcome is unknown, however it may work just fine.

Compaq Laptop as monitor for a Mac Mini

I was wondering if it would be able to use a Compaq laptop as a monitor for a Mac Mini because I want to be able to easily switch between Mac and PC for as cheap as possible I would like to use the laptop as a monitor for the Mini.
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Richard,
Unless the Compaq has a video
i input
this is not possible. However, you can use VNC to control your mini from your Compaq. If this is an option for you depends on the intended use for your mini.

Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. Noise at HardDisk part

Why my sister's Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. huhuhu.. the sound come from HardDisk in that laptop.. its sound like the HDD reader scratched the Disc insde.. how can it be?? my sister scold me already couze she wanna use for her work..

Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX Little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop

Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX white light next to where you plug in the power cable keeps blinking. Never stops Blinking. Computer doesn't power on.
The DC jack is loose, took the laptop apart, pressed down on the dc jack to hold it in place, and stuck the power cable back in. Tried to wiggle the cable around to see if the jack is bad. But it feels pretty solid, it's just the housing holding the dc jack in place that's broken.
But I'm still getting the little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop. No system power.
Question is.
1. Is the DC power jack bad and needs to be replaced or.
2. There is a short in the motherboard and the motherboard needs to be replaced.
I have check all over the internet for what the white light blinking means. I've found no answer.
Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this computer?

I already encouted this problem yesterday and I want to share this information on how I was able to fix this issue where in the dc jack blinking repeatedly and the laptop wont turn on. This issue is resulted due to overheat so laptop automatically shutdown and results to some kind of hibernation.
1. First you need to dissamble your laptop (compaq cq60). To clean the exhaust fan. I cleaned it because it was very dirty. I used my laptop for almost five years. If you dont know how to dissamble your laptop, you can check the tutorial from youtube. Just be very careful.
2. After Removing all the parts you can use a brush to remove all the dust inside your laptop. After cleaning all the dirt inside the laptop you need to let the motherboard cool for 1 to 1.5 hrs.
3. When you put the dc jack dont put the battery. So once you plugged the DC jack you can see if the light beside the jack still blinking or steady.
4. Once the light is steady., you can now power on your laptop. and a message will appear that your laptop overheated.
5. You can use cooling fan to prevent from heating.
6. Clean the parts inside your laptop every half year. to remove dust that cause the exhaust fan not to work properly.
Now I was able to use my laptop again.
Best Regards to All!

I had ITunes on a Dell laptop. I copied it all to a Compaq laptop via external hard drive. The Dell is deauthorized. The Compaq is authorized. My IPod Classic will not Sync on the Compaq. I have transferred purchases, but "Sync" is greyed out.

If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This is the switch to enable automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below.
Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).

My Compaq laptop will not restore back to Vista

So I had a Compaq laptop that I got back in 2008 with Vista preinstalled. In 2012, I decided to try out Windows 8 Consumer Preview to see how well it was compared to Vista. Unofrunately, 8 was less satisfying than Vista, and I recently tried to revert back to Vista using the system restore utility. I backed up all my software, and when I ran the system restore partition, it failed and gave me this error message.
Then when I boot the system, it gives me this message
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Compaq Laptop Clicking Noises

Hello,
I have a compaq laptop I do not know what make. I have had it for three years now and all of a sudden it is making ticking noises.
The noises appear to be coming from the speakers, it continues if i mute it and when i have headphones in the noise comes from the speakers still. The noise is constant, when you position the laptop in a new place it stops temporarily and then starts again.
The laptop often overheats and shuts itself down

Hi,
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
Regards,
DP-K

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
As for transferring your iTunes Library: iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD. Once you have done this take the external drive to your new computer and restore the iTunes data on the new computer.

Previously backed up wife's Compaq Laptop along with my iMac and MacBook Pro to Time Capsule. Replaced wife's Windows Vista Laptop with new Sony Windows 8 Laptop. Now can't access Time Capsule to back-up.

I also need advice on removing old Compaq back-up. That laptop is dead. Hard drive wiped and removed before recycling. Help

Windows 8 seems to still be waiting for bonjour..
Open windows explorer and type in the TC address directly in the address bar.
\\TCIPaddress or TCname
Replace with the actual of course.
If no go, ping the TC ip address .. still no go, then the networking on the windows machine is set wrongly.. never used win8 so no idea.. but turn off the firewall and ensure the laptop is in the home area, not work not public.
You have to get ping response to open the TC.
On the TC setup the guest access to on and full read and write access.

Compaq Laptop Model: CQ56-115DX versus Toshiba Netbook Model: NB505-N500BL

I'm looking to see which one of these is best on performance only since I know the laptop is bigger then the netbook. Both are the same price. It seems like the Compaq would be a no brainer until you read the reviews on each. Toshiba has better reviews by far even though the Compaq looks more powerful from the specs. This would mainly be used for web browsing and facebook gaming. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
Best Buy has brought your posting to my attention as you would like to purchase from Best Buy the HP CQ56-115DX versus a Toshiba netbook. I am pleased to know that you are interested in purchasing an HP notebook. HP is very proud of its line of products which its reps are encouraged to promote without criticizing its competitors. The two products are different. Do want a notebook or a netbook? Redwyv provides a valuable posting of the pros and cons in:
http://www.forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Computers-Home-Networking/Help-What-laptop-is-right-for-me/m-p/2815...
You will see in the above link, the similarly priced HP Mini Netbook, Model 210.
And as Redwyv has stated in this posting, you do have 14 days to return the product to Best Buy.
Based on your posting, I probably shouldn't distract you from your two choices as it appears you have already done your own research and have narrowed down your choice based primarily on price. I am sure you have noticed the significant difference in screen size and memory. You mentioned doing some Facebook gaming. The fact that you specified "Facebook gaming" indicates you are aware of the requirements for more "intensive" (for lack of a better word) gaming.
You do comment that the HP laptop is certainly more powerful, but you have read negative reviews. There are also some very strong reviews for the CQ56-115DX. You can find a summary of reviews at:
http://www.zdnet.com/reviews/product/laptops/compaq-presario-cq56-115dx-v-series-v140-23-ghz-156-tft...
Let me know if you need additional information.
