Compaq mini cq10-600 keyboard not typing function keys

My function keys are lockd into the mode where when I push any of them they are already hot keys. They are not operating as F1, F2 etc.
I need the F1, F2, etc because I am operating a dos program.
If I press the Function key beside the ctrl key then press F1 it works properly otherwise it is full time as hot keys.
How can I get it to be as a F1, F2 F3 key???
Thank you for your help.

Hi there @joy2015,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your function keys are not working properly. I am happy to help with this.
I would recommend screening your system for malware, viruses, and other malicious software as a starting point. Then if you find nothing you can try doing a system restore, to a point before you first noticed the issue.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
If that does not help, then try working through this page, and let me know what happens.

Restoration for Compaq mini CQ10-112nr

My HP Compaq mini CQ10+12nr has crashed I was trying to restore it to factory default and now it will not let me even go to the safe mode screen it will not even sign on, It will go to the screen that will give you the option of safe mode and etc. then it will stroll down and it said that my WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vgaoem.fon is corrupt or missing and I should get a windows set disk. My compaq runs windows 7. How can I get the disk which has to be a flash drive or how can I restore it to factory default. Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Hapless,
I'm sorry you're running into this issue with the recovery.
Here's how to put Windows 7 onto a USB flash drive and reinstall Windows.
1. Turn your computer over and look for the Windows Product Key label. Write down the Product Key so you can use it to install Windows.
2. Download the Windows 7 ISO (MAKE SURE TO GET THE 32-BIT VERSION) using another computer. Save it to the Desktop, not the USB yet.
3. Download Rufus from here and follow the instructions to make a USB drive bootable.
4. Insert the USB drive into the mini.
5. Press the Power button on your mini to turn it on. Immediately start tapping the F9 key to enter Boot Options. Select USB from the Boot Options menu.
6. Use your Product Key to install Windows. You'll have to go to your HP Driver Page once Windows has installed and download all of your drivers and software.
Let me know if you have any questions about those steps and please let me know the results when you get a chance

Compaq Mini CQ10 start failure

Hi I have a Compaq Mini CQ10 when I press the start up key it, it comes up with the black Q screen and an option to press F9 or F10 key. I have tried rebooting while pressing one or the other of these keys and it will not open in either BIOS or change boot screen.
Please can you help with a solution.

Try to start the system with the battery out and just the power adaptor plugged in.

I have a Compaq Mini CQ10-400CA and I want to upgrade the RAM - which can I use?

I want to upgrade the RAM from 1 gig to 2gig on my Compaq Mini CQ10-400CA - the question is which ram can I use? I was told my HP the ram was DDR2 800mhz. Now I have seen this :
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148162
At Newegg in Canada. This looks like it fits the bill, but I don't want to buy it and have it shipped and find out differently. Anyone know if this is a good route to go? It is cheap and it is Crucial, so at least it is reliable.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is the correct information you have...You will need DDR2 800 MHz PC2-6400 Memory...I have never used or heard about Crucial, I would suggest going for kingstron or corair and I am kind of 50/50 when it comes to A-DATA...This based on listed on newegg.ca

I have attached the XP sata drivers you need below under Attachments.
If you are not going to sliptream them, and you plan to select the specific driver you need using a USB FDD, after you hit the F6 key then you need to use your up/down arrow keys to scroll up or down to select the Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller from the list.

Compaq Mini CQ10-101SA Windows XP - Unable to view entire software or webpages in a window

Hi all!
We have a Compaq Mini CQ10-101SA which is running Windows XP. We have an issue with the display on certain webpages and software whereby you cannot see the entire page in the window. While this has been somewhat "inconvenient" when viewing webpages, it has now become a problem as we cannot use an important software package that we have installed.
Attached is a screen shot of the software in question - Hogia Smart Kassa (a point of sale till system). The bottom third of the page is missing, and you cannot scroll down to see it. This is a problem as it is where the "pay now" button is!
I have tried different screen resolution settings, DPI settings, and screen appearance settings in the "Display" area of the control pannel but nothing stops this from happening. Is there a "shrink to fit" button that will show the entire page on the screen in a smaller size? Can anyone help?!
Many thanks,
Ashley

Good Morning @AshleyElliott ,
It is a fantastic place to find answers and information!
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
I grasp that your retail software displays to large on the screen. If there is a way to set a screen setting for a particular program you would need to check with the manufacture for that setting.
In the meantime you can try this as a work around. Once you have the pay window launched if you press and hold the CTRL and press the minus sign it will make the screen smaller. To enlarge it you would press and hold CTRL and press the + sign.
I hope this helps.

Compaq mini cq10 bios password reset

Hello I have a compaq mini cq10 and I have removed the cmos battery but it still asks for a bios password on startup .
sn# cnu0024tvr
I have seen in other posts that it has been solved.. but the passwords issued there have so far been unsuccessful.
So I assumed they may be sn# specific.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer is to reinstall the audio driver, and see if that remedies the situation.

Updated 4s to 6.1 now keyboard not showing number keys

updated 4s to 6.1 now keyboard not showing number keys was working fine before

Apologies for the typos. In a hurry...thanks.

Keyboard letter/number keys not working; Function keys OK

The function keys on my Bluetooth AND USB keyboard work, but none of the letters or numbers work, so I can't log-in in the appropriate field. I can move the icon with the mouse, (Bluetooth or USB) I've tried 2 keyboards, one USB the other Bluetooth, but I can't get past the log-in screen cos the letters & numbers don't respond. I can adjust the brightness using F1 & F2, and I can adjust the volume with F11 & F12.
Luckily I have this MacBook Air!
It started off as a hardware issue where I couldn't even start up. Also I can't get a hardware test to run to completion (you know, switch on whilst pressing D). Strange that the D key works for this! Also it seems Option/Command/R/P sometimes works for a reset paramter RAM (PRAM); (sounds like a baby should be in there! ;-)). So the R & P work at Startup; therefore plus D key, but beyond, nothing. My log-in includes lower case r or d.
Beyond that letters/numbers do not work.
I have since tried a Safe Boot where you press the Shift key as soon as the start-up sound is heard. And since then I've not even got to the log-in screen! What's going on? It's like there's a 2013 phenomenon.
Any ideas anyone?
Jonathan

Do 2-3 SMC resets, doing just one does not always work. If the resets fail then try another keyboard and if those keys work then you know the original keyboard needs to be replaced. Follow the directions in:
