Power Problem w/ Compaq Presario C700!!

The other night I was working on my friends compaq presario c700. I was using the battery power. I was running a pre-bios .iso file program, due to password complications. In the middle of running the program to reset the admin. password, it turned off. So I plugged in the A/C cable. After pressing the power button, the led that is represented by a little Lightning Bolt flashed 5 or 6 times and then stopped. The laptop did not turn on. Even when I have the A/C plugged in, I see no led light showing that it is charging. I don't think my software that I was running could of caused this, or could it of? What steps should I take in fixing this problem? Have these models been known to have issues like this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Based on you saying the LED flashed 5 or 6 times, this generally means the battery is fully discharged. Do you have access to a volt meter or multimeter?

Audio Driver for Compaq Presario C700 Notebook

I assume i need to install audio driver for the same.
Please tell me from where i can download the driver?
Also tell me the location to download bluetooth driver download.
Thanks in advance,

Please make sure MS-UAA has been installed properly
How?
Go to Device Manager under System Devices to see if MS UAA installed properly.
There should be a listing for Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio.
If not, you should have a PCI with yellow!
Right click it and Update Driver,
No to Connect, No to Search and last Install Automatically.
Use driver below and if it fail try to force install it

Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
No to connect, Install from a list or specific location,
Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".

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

I noticed this is your first post, a comprehensive post just for asking XP drivers.
Please read XP downgrade guide, part 2, here

Read the guide so that you knew the advantages/disadvantages installing XP for your model.

DVD drive problems : should I buy the new iMac ?

Hello, being new to these discussions, I don't know if this question was answered before.
My last iMac's DVD drive stopped working after 3 years use. And from reading the discussions, this problem seemed quite common.
But 3 years is not bad, considering the posts talking about the DVD drive not working on NEW iMacs.
Does anybody know if Apple is going to do something about this soon ? My computer is a working tool, and I cannot spend time or money on repairs all the time.
Thank you.
A Mac user since 1985

+"Well, since nobody has an answer, I suppose I will wait until I no longer see the DVD drive problems on the discussions."+
That might be a while. I bought my iMac Oct. 15 and the DVD drive is already not responding. Backing up files, I had burned 2 DVDs from the same package, Toast says this one is a CD-RW and unwritable, and makes a noise like it's trying to eject it but nothing happens. Disk utility says the DVD drive is empty and nothing shows up in the Finder. Using Terminal (drutil eject) and starting up with the mouse button held down makes the same noise as trying to eject it in Toast, with the same results - nothing.
Still trying to find the receipt to take it back & get it repaired. I sure miss the hole for the paper clip.

Compaq Presario C700 Question

I just recently bought a new charger for my Presario C700, due to the last one breaking. Now, I should note that I have not used my notebook in about 7 months or so because it was out of power and I had no means of charging. I bought the charger from atbatt.com (http://www.atbatt.com/product/23318.asp). This was my first time purchasing anything off their website. So, as soon as the charger arrived, which was March 9 (yesterday), I plugged it in, and the light on it indicates that it is receiving power, but the laptop is not charging. I need to know if I have purchased the wrong charger and should return it or whether or not there is something wrong with my notebook.
Thanks for your time.

What country do you live in, Your Highness? That is going to make a difference in where I suggest you buy the battery.
This is an extremely old laptop, right?
If you live in the U.S. this one will work:

It is not genuine HP but for the price it will be fine for an older laptop. If you must have genuine HP they cost at least $50 and have to be shipped from China.

HP would be happy to sell you a new laptop. But the C700 really has no trade-in value.
Here is a replacement battery on eBay:

Compaq Presario C700 needs boot disk

Just replaced the hard drive in a Presario C700 and do not have a boot disk for it. How/where can I get one?

Hi
Easiest way is to contact HP in your local region and explain to the agent you need recovery media for your model machine , there will be a cost involved for the recovery media HP will supply . Once you receive the recovery media then change the BIOS setup to boot from CD/DVD and then the machine will boot from the disks and re-install Windows and drivers for your product .
Hope This Helps

Compaq Presario C700 series notebook - C757EA Issues

Hi, I'm currently having a problem with my laptop, it's a compaq presario c757ea (it says c700 on the laptop itself) it will not receive any power or charge the battery. I don't want to get a new laptop because it will be too much money.
I had problems with it previously involving the hard drive failing 3 times and when i had got it back when the hard drive was replaced the third time it worked and charge but an hour after that it stopped charging and only would run off the battery.
I phoned up HP in the past and they've just told me to take it to PC world, but PC world are garbage because they say you might as well get a new laptop, they will not listen to me, all i want is a courier out to come and collect the laptop.
I've tried entering my Serial and product number on the HP website but it gives me this:
"We were unable to find any results that match the information you entered. You can either try a new search, or get further assistance from an HP Support agent. For a new search, please click the “Check again” button below, and then make sure to enter the correct product and serial number. Please see the “How Do I Find My Product Number and Serial Number?” information on the right side of the Warranty Status Check page, if necessary"
I've entered them correctly and i still get the same message.
Is there any other way in which i can get a courier sent out to collect my laptop? i would really appreciate it.
If it helps i had the charging problem since around August 2009.

Is there anyone out there at HP in which is able to give me information in getting a courier out to come and collect my laptop?

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!
