Compaq Notebook SKU glossary needed

Hello everybody
I'm creating a Compaq Notebook database and need to fill in the proper SKUs. The problem is I can't seem to find information about what the 3 digit suffix means. I stumbled upon this problem while browsing the Armada 100 series:
http://tim.id.au/laptops/hp/compaq%20100%20armada%20100s.pdf
I found a list of HP keyboards ending with numbers particularly coresponding to other documents I found (-001 and -004 for US , 034 for France, 054 for Latin America etc). But later I found other models, from a valid HP source (can't seem to find it, will post it as soon as found) with suffixes like -951 -771 etc. I also saw a service guide listing multiple models, Compaq again, with suffixes in the 400-600 range, that showed no consistency whatsoever between both models (example: -434 was Germany and -540 was France for one model, for another -434 was France and Germany was something else). I basically need a list/explanation what the suffixes -XX4 -XX5 -XX6 could stand for. Will edit posts with link to the documents I'm talking about. If you need more information please post. Thanks for your time!

Hi,
As an example, the battery on the following link would be suitable.

Display driver recovery error for Compaq notebook

I have a compaq notebook - CQ60)-211DX , P/N NBO49UA originally with Windows Vista. I've sinced upgraded to Windows 7, 32 bit. I'm needing to find the right Display driver to upload. I'm getting display recovery errors. I've tried windows fix it and I also tried to extend the registry timer but didn't know which registry to open and save.

Hello Ervinredeye50,
I understand you are looking for an updated display driver, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
From what shows currently available on the HP.com, site this driver is the most recent one available. I am not sure which one you currently have installed but this the most recent one that HP has released for your make and model.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Pcmcia ethernet card on compaq notebook

Hi can any one tell which Pcmcia ehrnet card supports for solaris x86 intel on notebook .....
I am using compaq presario1200 notebook and had netgearpc card which is not working with solaris 8
appreciated for the help

I finally got PCMCIA to work. But it was a battle.
My ethernet card DLINK DFE-690 TXD will NOT work with Arch 0.7. (It does work when using the Arch 0.7 Installation CD but after installation, it does not work).
I tried everything. (e.g. disabling almost everything in rc.conf and the config scripts). I even tried manually inserting the modules using modprobe. And then running dhcpcd. But dhcpcd failed since the ethernet PCMCIA card was "BUSY".
I found the BUG! The problem is with the 2.6.10 kernel that the arch 0.7 CD installs. In other words, the stock IDE or SCSI kernels that come with the 0.7 installation CD's are buggy.
I reinstalled arch usng FTP install. (arch 0.7.1 is then installed with a newer kernel 2.6.13). Arch 0.7.1 was able to properly detect and setup my PCMCIA card and get networking going.
I did NOT enable the pcmcia or hotplug daemons in rc.conf. You do NOT need to. They automatically get set up in the loadng modules stage (where some auto detection is being done).
So if anyone else is having problems, just use the FTP installation which installs arch 0.7.1 and a newer kernel 2.6.13.

For a Compaq IJ300 printer I need a 64-bit, Windows-8.1-compatible driver.

Hello. I think I may have adapted my Compaq IJ300 printer for potential use with my new, presently 64-bit, Windows-8.1-operating-system-loaded notebook computer, which has four Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, but no parallel ports, by purchasing a parallel-to-USB cable to connect between that printer and my new notebook computer.
My short question: How may I obtain just a 64-bit, Windows-8.1-compatible driver for the Compaq IJ300 printer? (not a computer program to scan for needed driver updates, a procedure which has unfortunately failed to lead me to the driver I want in so far at least two instances)

Thanks, Ban Hien, for kindly taking some time to post some information here. I verified that via http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&products=217385 no drivers for the Compaq IJ300 printer newer than for Windows 98 were supplied there. Nevertheless I used that printer in Windows XP Home Edition in an older notebook computer in probably the year 2013 before I no longer could “power up” that computer! Looking at my notes from July 19, 2010, after connecting that printer to my old notebook computer Windows XP reported “Found New Hardware Lexmark Inkjet 4100,” probably for finding the Lexmark 12A1980 color cartridge in the Compaq IJ300 printer at that time, and “Found New Hardware Compaq Inkjet IJ300” for I suppose locating a driver from within Windows XP Home Edition for the Compaq IJ300 printer.
The Web page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293360 indeed shows that the Compaq IJ300 printer is supported by Windows XP. I read that it is on a Windows XP operating system Compact Disc or else can be obtained from http://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=133838&si=bb941f1db37cb35ad6ad9b8e7da36bd8. The resource http://www.driverguide.com/ appears to be a place on the Internet through which one may be able to obtain individual drivers for pieces of hardware. Within that Web site I read that one user found that a Lexmark Z11 driver could used with a Compaq IJ300 printer in probably Windows 2000 with Windows 2000 identifying that Compaq IJ300 printer as a Lexmark Z11 printer. Unfortunately I could not find a 64-bit, Windows-8.1-compatible driver for either the Compaq IJ300 or Lexmark Z11 printers within http://www.driverguide.com/ or http://www.lexmark.com/; the newest Lexmark Z11 probably driver available via the latter Web site was for only Windows 2000 and 32-bit Windows XP. The Web page http://www.hardwaredata.org/index.php?driver=109025 reports a Windows-8 driver for the Compaq IJ300 printer. But using that Web site's computer program DriverDetective.exe to scan my present notebook computer's hardware with the Compaq IJ300 printer connected to the parallel-to-USB cable, which in turn was connected to a USB port of my computer, the Compaq IJ300 printer was not “noticed” by that hardware-scanning program. A pure speculation of mine, not something I know to be a fact, is that because 64-bit, Windows 8.1 did not “notice” the Compaq IJ300 printer, that particular hardware-scanning program might have followed Windows 8.1's lead and also did not “notice” the connected, Compaq IJ300 printer. So if the information at http://www.hardwaredata.org/index.php?driver=109025 is correct, there might actually be a Windows-8 driver for the Compaq IJ300 printer that that scanning program never recommended because it did not “see” the Compaq IJ300 printer.
It seems logical that if one has the source code for a driver in use by one Windows operating system, knows the intimate details of that and a newer version of Windows, and knows how to write computer code in the computer language of the driver, then he might be able to take the source code for the driver that works in Windows XP and modify it to work for 64-bit, Windows 8.1. Then after that I suppose he might have to compile and link that source code to make the driver usable by a Windows-8.1 operating system. In a Linux operating system I have been told that the driver source code for a device can be compiled with I think the kernel source code to make a new version of the Linux kernel which includes the function of that new driver. On this adventurous subject I have here at least sometimes been writing well beyond my experience and/or knowledge. But at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff554644(v=vs.85).aspx there are instructions on how to use the Windows Driver Kit to “build” (probably to compile and link) a new driver using I think a starting version of a driver. More speculation on my part is that because Hewlett Packard has not been supplying a Windows XP driver for the Compaq IJ300 printer, perhaps someone may have used something like the Windows Driver Kit in the making of a driver usable for this printer in Windows XP.

Compaq Notebook CQ-45 137TX fails to boot

Hello,
I own a Compaq CQ-45 137TX (Intel Core 2 Duo P7350, 3 GB RAM, 320GB HDD, nVidia GeForce 9200M GS, Windows 7(upgraded from Vista)) with a broken LCD Screen. Since repairing the screen made no sense for such an old laptop, I started using it as a desktop by attaching an external monitor and input devices. The computer worked fine for the past few months.
Upon restarting the computer after a hiatus of a week or so, the computer failed to boot and display anything on the external monitor. I think it is failing POST.
The laptop gives out multiple beeps continually (not continuous, multiple beeps that don't end).
I thought that the RAM is faulty and tried to reboot the machine by trying one RAM stick at a time (since the laptop has two). It didn't work for either of the two sticks tried in both slots individually.
I think both the RAM sticks may be faulty, however, I am unable to borrow a RAM stick to test on it.
Before buying a new one, I would like someone to clarify or point out other hardware that may faulty in this laptop. I have had people tell me that my Graphic Card may have given up.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello @root123 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to boot up your CQ-45 notebook.
It's unlikely to be RAM if neither card worked in either of the two DIMM slots. It is possible that both cards or slots have failed, but highly unlikely.
The beeping should tell you exactly what the error is. Try looking through this document which should help you identify the error: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
You may also want to try this document as well: Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.
Let me know if you're able to identify the failure with the beep code and we'll go from there.

Ext SB card on notebook with XP need Computer speakers

?I have a SB0270 external SB card plugged into?my notebook computer's USB running Windows XP and using Audacity. I'd like to get sound from my computer speakers while recording music thru audacity. I do get sound from the earphone jack on the sound card. I've enabled sound output when recording in Audacity. I can see? via the vu meters in audacity, that the sound is being provided to the output, but ?I can't get sound from the speakers within the notebook computer. How do I turn the notebook speakers on. The minute I disconnect the USB cable to the external sound blaster card, the speakers in the computer work fine. I assume that the Sound Blaster software is turning off the speakers in the notebook. How do I turn them on?

And, you can be certain it's not a Li've! 24-bit. They didn't make them back then! It's either a Li've! 5. (probable) or a Li've! 4. (unlikely if the computer was really manufactured in 2000).
You can try removing anything that was possibly added by your using the cd, then letting XP install its nati've driver for it. I would download DriverCleaner from driverheaven.net. If there's nothing in Add/Remove Programs (as there probably isn't if your attempt to install the cd version of the driver (provided by Gateway?) failed before finishing), then go into device manager and remove anything related to the card and reboot to Safe Mode and run DriverCleaner. Delete the Creative Folder in Program Files that your cd probably made. Reboot and let XP install its driver. Reboot again.
That's probably the best your going to get if Gateway didn't update the Creative software for SP2. You could attempt to install the Li've Uni-Pack stuff from the download section here, but it might or might not work on the OEM card you have. If the software on your Gateway/Creative cd had problems then your probably going to just be able to use the nati've Windows XP driver. You will still be able to adjust your settings with the Windows audio controls, but won't be able to use Creative software.
You would need to contact Gateway to see if they really don't have a package for this. Did you check their website for updates for your model?

Can't find model # on my Pavilion notebook...need to find out why battery does not charge

My little touch screen Pavilion is giving me the error that the main battery is no good after only bit more than a year of use. I want to look into recalls, etc, but I don't see any model # on the body of the unit.
The bottom just has the "registered trademark" and "HP Protectsmart" and the keyboard area just say "Pavilion."
Any help on this?
This question was solved.

Hi,
You can often display the Model No, Serial No. etc if you hold down the fn key and press esc.
If that doesn't work, you can also locate this info from the bios menu as follows.
Shut down the notebook.
Tap away at the esc key as soon as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu, then select f10 to enter the Bios Menu. The information you need will be located under the 1st tab

HP 6730b Compaq Notebook "Failing HDD (b8) Please backup" Message

For some times now my computer have been getting this message at startup. I understand my Hard drive is failing and may need to be replaced. Would I be able to get a replacement from HP or would i have to buy a new one?
"Failing HDD (b8) Please backup along the lines of that"
Im pretty sure I've got this computer 4 years ago.
This year my computer kept dying to a freeze up and then when i restart i go "repair" "restore" or "reformmat" whatever it will work but i gotta reinstall windows xp or vista everytime. Works for a week then it freezes and i gotta reformmat all over again if repair/restore doesnt work.
Pretty sure I can solve this with a new one. So my question is if I can get a replacement HDD from HP?
Would someone guide me to a new HDD? My HDD is 111g i think
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
It would be much less expensive for you to get a hard drive from a vendor other than HP.
The hard drive in your notebook is probably 120 GB. 111 GB is the net space available.
If you want a top notch replacement hard drive for your notebook, then I recommend this one...
http://www.amazon.com/Black-250-Mobile-Hard-Drive/dp/B001CO3EKG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1371469363&sr...
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02030223/c02030223.pdf
You can find the list of supported hard drives with HP part numbers in chapter 3, page 30.
If you want to buy one from HP, then order by the part number listed next to the drive you want.

I have a notebook that I need to print from to my printer at home. What options do I have?

You may have purchased a new ePrint capable printer and find yourself wanting to print to it without having to create an email.
Well, there is a way to simulate a traditional printing experience with ePrint from a notebook (or other mobile computer).
HP has the ePrint Mobile Driver which installs and behaves similar to a traditional printer, but it uses ePrint over the Internet to print. In other words, you could be at the office and print to your home printer with relative ease without occupying email space to be sending it.
To get the ePrint Mobile Driver, simply sign in to your www.eprintcenter.com account and click on the download link on the right side towards the bottom of the news column. Once there, click on your operating system to get the correct version.
A manual for the ePrint can be found here. This will detail how to install the mobile driver and register the printer to it.

Glossary Needed

Hi there - I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I didn't
know where else to go with it. Today is my first day working in
Dreamweaver, I started doing one of the tutorials becuase it looked
basic, and I actually understood the hows pretty well, but the
what's sort of confused me. Is there someplace where I can get a
simple glossary that would explain what divs, wrappers, id's ect.
are? They are all jumbled together in my head right now. Thanks,
Linda

Get a book on HTML and CSS (or go to
http://www.w3schools.com) and
study
that before touching DW. A good base understanding will make
DW seem like a
walk in the park.

Notebook Cam always needs to be restarted

When I boot my Dell Inspiron 9300 the Webcam for Notebook (latest driver and software), the cam is never recognized, neither by Creative or thirdparty software, I always have to plug the USB connection out and in again, then everything works fine. How can I manage to leave the USB port connected and have my cam ready without unplugging it always?

Changed it and it's still doing it.
Don't know if this will help but-
When I perform airport network diagnostics on my mac when this happens, this is what I get:
airport-green
airport settings-green
network settings-yellow
isp-failed/red
internet-failed/red
server-failed/red
This will happen just all of a sudden for no reason (and the router shows as a perfect signal)
Just as before, once the router is unplugged then plugged back in it works normal for awhile again.
Oh and firmware is v1.0.04

What Type of Memory to use inCQ 60 Compaq Notebook PC

Is the memory DDR2 or DDR3?

The dv6500 will use 4 gigs of RAM (2 x 2 gb modules) in hardware but with 32 bit Windows you can only effectively work with 3 gb. Installing 64 bit Windows will allow use of all 4 gigs.

Compaq/HP Notebook not supported for upgrade to Windows 7?

I have an older Compaq notebook (DA533AV), which due to the recent announcement by Microsoft, appears to meet the minimum specifications for running Windows 7. It has an AMD 1.7Ghz processor (3400+), 1GB of memory, and a DirectX 9.0-capable video card (NVIDIA 440 GO with 64MB of memory). However, it appears as though NVIDIA's stance on it is that the video component of the laptop is being considered a 'legacy' product, and therefore not worth their attention for creating Windows 7 drivers for it.
Is HP/Compaq committed to supporting their products as long as those products meet the minimum standards for next-generation operating systems? This notebook was an expensive purchase, and it is otherwise quite capable, but I fear that it is going to be left behind, and will only be able to run Windows XP until it finally dies (or applications I want to run are no longer supported on windows XP).
A recent posting of updated Windows 7 drivers for NVIDIA products does NOT include the NVIDIA video card imbedded in my laptop. Without a Windows 7 DirectX 9.0-style driver, my laptop is only capable of bringing up Windows 7 in VESA mode, which is quite limited, and doesn't support the native screen size of the LCD panel of the laptop.
The only way NVIDIA will deliver Windows 7 drivers for my laptop is if HP requests them. How can I convince HP that my laptop is worthy of such attention?
Frustrated,
Paul (High_Tech_Prof)
