Compaq - Presario Laptop / AMD V-Series Processor / 15.6" Display / Basic Black CQ56-115DX

Can anyone tell me if this lap top has a webcam?
Thank you

You are actuall better off buying a laptop without a built-in webcam. The onew built in are very low quality with generall only a 1 to 3 megapixel sensor. If you spend $50 on an external webcam, you'll gert a much better webcam, with a better sensor, that will yield better results and perform better in low light.

Hello Sky653, thanks for your interest in HP's dv6-6117dx notebook. As one of the experts has advised, the unit may not be available at Best Buy. I was curious and went to Best Buy's site and found the unit at the link below with note "Not Available for Shipping":

However, when I clicked on "Check Shipping & Availability use zip code", using my zip code, the unit was unavailable in all stores except for one. You may want to try doing this for your zip code.
The specific model you reference is not available at HP Home and Home Shopping, but one can customize a unit in the dv6t series at: http://www.shopping.hp.com/series/category/notebooks/dv6t_series/3/computer_store?jumpid=hpr_r1002_u...

Does Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD) Notebook PC support WPA2-PSK?

Hello all,
I know this is an old laptop(Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD) Notebook PC).
Recently, I upgraded my network system and start to use WPA2-PSK.
I have installed the patch from MS http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1974
However, the droplist of my network wireless setting still doesn't show the option
for wpa2 but wpa.
Can someone tell me the reason? Is it beause that my network adapter doesn't support
the new standard wpa2?
Thank you
This question was solved.

I believe this driver will take care of the issue...
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=3688870&sp...
Again, in addition to the above driver you also must be running XP SP3 in order to get WPA2 support if that microsoft SP2 WPA2 patch doesn't work.

Compaq presario laptop dv6109ea audio is not changing to headphone from internal speakers

hai when i installed windows in my compaq v6109ea laptop the audio is coming from internal speakers.when i want to talk to somebody is not changing to headphone speakers.please send me the solution

Hi:
Does your notebook have an Intel or AMD processor?
If it has an AMD processor, follow the instructions I posted at the link below for how to get the XP audio driver to work.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/multimedia-audio-controller-driver-for-wind...
If it has an Intel processor try doing the same thing but with this driver instead...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-44349-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
You would browse to: C:\SWSetup\sp28552\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmATI, and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio device from the list.
There are no Vista or W7 drivers for the card reader (Base System Device), so try the XP driver. I think it will work.

I need the driver mpu-401 for a compaq presario v3417la or v3000 series with windowsxp, any help?

I bought a MIDI-USB cable to connect a keyboard and play some music. Since the driver MPU-401 (the driver that detected it) had problems with it, i uninstalled it and I can't find it anywhere to replace it. I still can't use the keyboard, and I know that that is not the problem because I tried it out in another computer with Win 7. I have a fairly old HP Compaq Presario v3417LA with Windows XP. Please I need much help with this.

I totally understand now, thank you SOOOO VERY MUCH!!! You have been a huge help and very friendly Would you mind if I add you to my friends list or something on here? You seem to really know your stuff and understand everything I have said, I like that and would prefer to just deal with you if I ever have any problems again lol. Also, I have given Kudos to every response you have given me and would like to give you the solution part as well, but not sure which one to select as the actual answer to the problem lol so which would you prefer me to click? Either way it's all yours, I can't thank you enough, you're amazing!! lol Hope you have a great day and fabulous week, take care!

Gateway - Laptop / AMD E-Series NV51B25U

I am looking at this laptop. I don't think 2gb is enough memory. From what I can see it has two memory slots. Can anyone tell me what how the memory comes installed on this laptop? Does it come with one 2gb or two 1gb cards? Lastly what speed is the installed card?

I can't confirm it but i think it is two 1gb sticks. One of the sites lists it as running dual channel which leads me to believe that it has the 2 sticks but again I can't confirm it anywhere.

Thank you for the additional information.
The best thing to do is run HP Update if it is on your computer. I would normal tell you to run Windows Upate, also. However, Microsoft is no longer supporting Win XP. Also, you can go through the drivers in the Software & Drivers section and install any that have a later date than the release date of the computer (13-Aug-2006). Make certain that they match the hardware in your system before installing them.

Compaq Presario 900 no longer powers on

Hi everyone,
Just today I tried to turn on my Compaq Presario 900 notebook, and sadly, not a peep came from it. I can see a light indicating that there is power flowing to the laptop through the AC adapter, and a light is on indicating that the battery is charging. However, the computer offers no response when I press the power button.
I'm a little concerned at all of the topics around the internet concerning this laptop and not turning on, does anyone have any non-invasive techniques for fixing this? I currently don't have access to the tools necesary for taking this apart. I've already tried attempting to power this on without the battery, and then with the batter in and the cord unplugged.
Thanks!

It is like 200 years old in people equivalent terms (like dog years). I would venture to say it has simply gone on to meet its maker. You can buy a replacement on eBay for $20 plus shipping and move your hard drive and RAM and such over to it:

Installation problems in Compaq Presario V2617LA Laptop

Hello,
I am new in all of this Unix-Linux world and I need some help, here's my problem:
I have already partitioned and prepared my HDD to install Solaris, Windows and maybe Fedora (if someone recommends a better Linux it'll be appreciated), all of those three partitions perfectly identified and ready for the OS (it happens that I learn quickly, but I'm still new on this). I perfectly pass all Solaris 10 11/06 installation windows and requirements and Solaris begins installation, BUT when it all looks great, the installation (progress bar) just stops moving having 209.29 MBytes remaining and installing the 'Solstice Enterprise Agents 1.0.3 files for root file system', the wierdest thing is that the little slash-dash at the end is still turning around, the working processor light is on and nothing freezes (except when I navigate through the menu options), I have waited for a whole day and the installation does not finish and even re-downloaded Solaris and burn the image again two times and nothing.
Could it be a hardware compatibility problem? What do you think?

Compaq Presario R 4000 laptop

Please help - My Compaq Presario 4000 laptop won't power on...with or without the battery AC adapter plugged in. When I push power button, all 3 icons (lightning, on/off and circular tower thing) on the front of puter all flash orange/red. What does this mean? How do I isolate the problem? How do I tell if it's the laptop and/or/battery and/or AC adapter?

The motherboard has died. An R4000 is about 5 or 6 years old at least and it has had a good life. Parts are inexpensive. 2 of them on eBay for $120 shipped:

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 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
This question was solved.
View Solution.

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!

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.

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.
