Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop - Headphone input broken?

Sound still plays from the speakers even when I have headphones plugged in. What do I do?

If your Headphone jack is physically broken, then it needs to be repaired at the HP Service Center. Please call HP (800-474-6836) and if your NB is in warranty, then you can have your NB repaired.

  • Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX Problems

    Hello,
    I have a Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX Laptop. It is still under warranty. Within the last week the power of the laptop has been messed up. When I have the laptop unplugged, which I don't very often, the laptop shuts down after an hour without any warning. So I plug back in the laptop and it still shows anywhere for 40-70 percent battery left. Why is it doing this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the PC on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the PC again.  Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the issue at all.
    If the above has not helped, download and run the stand-alone battery test utility available on the page below and see if this reports any problems with your battery.
    http://h20239.www2.hp.com/techcenter/battery/battery_ts.htm
    If this reports a problem with the battery ( or even if it doesn't, but the problem is still occuring ), contact HP and arrange to have the battery replaced/notebook repaired under warranty.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

  • Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop SSD Upgrade

    I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop the was brand new in 2003. I have a newer laptop, but an currently trying to upgrade the Presario 2100 as much as possible. It's kind of a project now and I also want to get as much use as possible out of it. I have heard that the SSDs are super fast and would improve performance quite a bit. Has anyone made the upgrade to a SSD for their Persario 2100 series laptop already? All input is appreciated, especially all of the product info that was used for the upgrade. If nobody has done this, then does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the Presario 2100 series laptop to a SSD?
    Thanks,
    Huck
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Believe it or not the Service Manual is still available. 
    Manual
    The Presario 2100 uses old school PATA (EIDE) hard drives which are different than the SATA SSDs you mostly see on the market. However, there are PATA SSDs. They cost a bit more per gig, obviously. I have put a PATA SSD in a laptop of about the same vintage as the Presario 2100 and it did improve the boot time and general performance significantly, but talk about the proverbial earrings on a pig! 
    This is a 64 gig PATA SSD which would be perfect for the Presario 2100 but is $90:

    On eBay you will probably find 32 gig versions for a bit less.

  • Compaq Presario CQ56 beep while working and working temperature

    Hi,
    I Have a Compaq Presario CQ56 with Windows 7 Ultimate (32Bit), ADM V140 CPU, 2GB of DDR3 RAM and an AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4250, and a SAMSUNG 250GB HDD.
    While i am playing some random games like Need for Speed Carbon, Need for Speed World on Low-Medium graphics, i hear a long beep and then a click from the laptop, somewhere from the DVD-RW Drive. It only occured twice do far. The laptop works normal tho after the beeps.
    Also, the temerature is worrying me, it goes up to 75C while playing, but goes down to 60-65 while internet and around 54 while idle (lid closed).
    Sorry for my grammar i am Serbian.
    Thanks in advance!

    Those temperatures are a bit high, but still well within normal range. We see a lot of people reporting temperatures in the 90C ranges. The beep is a mystery to me.  

  • Compaq presario cq56 115dx will not power on blinking lights, not a disk drive problem

    I own two identical Compaq Presario CQ56 115-DX, and the one I use every day stopped powering on.  Shows blinking caps lock light and orange WIFI light does not turn blue to turn on.  The fan powers on, but the screen doesn't come on at all.  I tried hard resetting several times and it didn't work.  I swapped the hard drive of the malfunctioning CQ56 to the other one that was working normally, and it works OK normally.  No hard disk corruption or problems.  
    Any idea how to fix this problem laptop?

    Hey @rajpodn ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're looking for info on swapping out the CPU in your notebook. 
    You will find everything you need here: Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide. The instructions you need start on page 75. Keep in mind that the CPU itself may not be the issue, it could be the socket on the motherboard preventing the notebook from reading the CPU, so even replacing the CPU may not work, as you may need a replacement motherboard. I do not suggest replacing the motherboard as doing so requires HP Proprietary software to reinstall the Service-ID necessary for reinstalling Windows.
    *Caution - If you do install the new CPU be careful with the thermal paste. A small pea sized amount should be more than enough. Put the paste in the exact center and carefully spread so there is a fine layer almost to the edge of the CPU. Remember that the heatsink will press very firmly onto the CPU and spread the paste more and you don't want any squishing out as this can cause electrical shorts if the paste has a high metal content.
    The part you will want is: AMD V140 processor (2.3 GHz, 512-MB, L2 cache, 1066 MHz, 3.2 GT/s)—singlecore 25 W. The part number for this is: 616333-001.
    You can order the CPU directly from HP here: HP Part Surfer, but you may be able to find it cheaper on sites like eBay, Amazon, or Newegg.
    Hopefully this covers everything you're after!

  • Fan issue - Compaq Presario CQ56-106SA

    Product : Compaq Presario CQ56-106SA
    OS : Windows 7 Home Premium
    Issue: Fan error (90b)
    Greetings all ,
    First off I am very familiar with computer systems and component as I work on them fairly regularly however I am currently unsure to what I should do from this point.
    I got the notebook laptop as a present a few years ago and its seen better days however I recenty decided to use it again however when I started the laptop I got the fan error (90b) so I took a look at the fan and it wasnt spining hense the error , so I checked the  HP support site and looked at the error and also did a google search to see if anyone else had fixed it.
    So I opened the laptop up (since it was out of warranty anyways) and I got to the fan and removed the heatsink and fan component and I opened that up and there was a buildup of dust obviously needless to say i cleaned it up and put the component back together and placed it back in and ensured everything was connected correctly and started up the computer however the fan still isnt spining and I still keep the getting the error.
    So my question is , If I took out the component is there a way of testing to see if there is any fault with the fan itself? (eg. putting a small amount of power through it to see if the fan spins?)
    Or should I just replace the fan and heatsink component completely and hope that the issue doesnt persist?
    Any help would be appreciated , just to have someone elses opinion?

    Hi
    As you have mentioned that the Fan is not spinning the issue is with Fan & also replacing the heatsink apply terminal paste and that should take care of the issue. I have also seen sometimes issue might be with the Systemboard connector which is bad might cause this issue. 
    This is very difficult to guess
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Compaq Presario CQ56 219-wm CPU compatible upgrade

    Hi I am a performance pc enthusast and I wanna upgrade the stock cpu celeron single core 900 cpu of my Compaq Presario CQ56 219-wm laptop.  
    Can u tell me what following  cpu will work with your current F.15 bios? 
    Intel Core Duo Mobile T9300
    Intel Core Duo Mobile T9500
    If not those what would be the highest cpu supported?
    Thanks

    Pretty sure the GL40 chipset is used only for Celeron/Pentium Dual processors. Notice that no Core2Duo was offered on the CQ56-200 Intel line. Just Celeron and the T4500. The GL40 was a special chipset for "value-oriented applications".
    Service Manual
    This is anecdotal but you have some folks who claim to have successfully installed Core2Duo processors on GL40 laptop motherboards, including at least one HP. However, note the "official" compatibility list and take other claims with a grain of salt:
    http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_%28chipsets%29/GL40_Express.html
    In other words, it might work even likely will work but it is a gamble.

  • Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM keyboard frequently misses letters when I am typing

    When I am typing on my Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM I frequently miss letters and spaces.  I have a USB keyboard plugged in, but the missing letters happens on both the laptop's keyboard and the USB keyboard.  I did not notice this issue happening before I installed a Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station.  However, I am a bit baffled since this problem happens even when the docking station is not connected and I am just using the integrated notebook keyboard.   
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium. 
    Would someone be able to tell me what to do, if anything, to resolve this issue?  It's really frustrating to have to constantly spell check to try and catch the errors!

    Hi MrsJP. Try updating the BIOS in your notebook. Go to this link http://goo.gl/rk8CV and select which version of Windows 7 you are using and click next. It will display all downloads available for your notebook, including the BIOS update.
    Here http://goo.gl/wTZr6 is a document that will hopefully answer any questions about finding and updating/installing your BIOS.
    Please let me know if this fixes your issue or if you need anything else.

  • Upgrading Compaq Presario V2000 laptop

    hello everyone,
    I am planning on upgrading a Compaq presario V2000 laptop i currently own. I heard that it cna can only run on PC2700 RAM with a max of 1gb per slot. Currently, I have 2 X 256mb sticks installed so i plan to remove one of them and install a 1GB stick and i was wondering whether this is compatible with the laptop:
    http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3274_PNY_Sodimm_1GB_DDR333_PC_2700_for_Laptop
    I also wanted to upgrade the hard-drive as 40gbs just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know whether the V2000 can hold two hard-drives? Also what hard-drives are supported by the V2000? Will any IDE 2.5" hard-drive fit in or does it only support 5400rpm drives?
    Thank you,
    Babaquazi

    Your max memory is 2 gigs or 2 x 1 gb and yes it uses DDR333 SO-DIMM memory. Here is the Crucial.com page for it:
    memory
    Here is the Manual:
    Manual
    Turn to Page 5-6 for hard drive replacement. Don't forget to save the little connector piece that goes over the hard drive pins and place it on the new drive. There is only room for one (1) drive.
    You can use any IDE (PATA) 2.5 inch laptop drive of any size and rotation speed. A 7200 rpm drive will boost performace significantly.
    Not sure if you have the Intel or AMD version of the V2000 but the processor is also upgradeable if you happen to have one using the Celeron or Sempron processor.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop does not see SD card

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop (Windows 7 64bit) that has a built in media card reader that has never worked.
    When I insert the SD card it makes the "USB Beep Up sound" that says it sees the card - but when I go to MY COMPUTER, there is no device listed for the SD card.  How do I read and write to an SD card with this laptop?

    I have done that.
    In DEVICE MANAGER I can see the SD Card show up under "Disk Drives" when the SD card is inserted, and disappear when it is removed.
    Under Storage>Disk Management the SD card shows up as drive 1 (main drive is drive 0) but no drive letter. 
    When I right-click on the SD card Drive 1 and try to change to a drive letter, I get an error message and it will not let me.  It will not let me format either. 
    The driver is from microsoft and is old - 6/21/2006. I did some google searching and read that a driver update would fix the issue. I uninstalled the card reader driver, got a new driver from HP and installed it, and when I inserted the SD card it loaded up the old driver...ugh.
