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.

Solaris 8 on Compaq laptop

Hello,
could you share your experience with Solaris 8 on Compaq laptops.
I am going to buy Armada M700 - is there any problems with Solaris on it ?
What network card do you recommend to use ?
Thanks,

Take a look at the HCL...this one is valid for S9 also.

Can we install a PCI-GPIB card on a laptop

or do we need to install PCMCIA GPIB card for that. We will have windows 2000 installed on the laptop. I want to use LabVIEW 6.0 on my laptop.

Hello Kunal,
Generally speaking you will need to have a PCMCIA GPIB card as there is not way to connect a PCI card to a laptop computer. Depending on your application however there are a few alternatives. We also have a USB based GPIB card which will work in any laptop that has USB connectivity. In addition, you may be able to take advantage of a GPIB ENET device that can be connected to any Ethernet network. This will allow your laptop to connect to your GPIB devices from anywhere.

Does my Satellite M100 has Ethernet LAN card?

hi guys, im just new here. i would just like to ask how will i know if i have an ethernet LAN card? please do help...
thanks guys fr helping

Hi dude!
I believe there is a Portege M100 and a Satelitte M100... Which of this do you have?
As most of the laptop on our days, both this come with a LAN port as well.
If the one you have is the Satelitte M100 you can see the LAN Port in this picture I found.
( http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/11048.jpg )
The LAN port is the 2nd port from the right side. I believe this is in the back of the laptop.

Can I upgrade my (Graphics Card) on my laptop?

Hello can my (Graphics Card) on my laptop be upgraded
this is mine http://gyazo.com/e10f4147557ec792856f20c0e215e553

Hi:
There are no graphics 'cards' in your notebook. The graphics is part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced without replacing the entire motherboard with a supported one listed in the service manual for your model--assuming one has better graphics.
Replacing the motherboard would cost you about as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.

Can I upgrade graphics card of my Laptop?

Hi folks,
I want to know whether I can upgrade graphics card of my laptop.
Now a days most of the high end games are not
working in my laptop and I'm pretty disappointed.
Please let me know whether I can do that. My laptop model is
HP Pavillion DV5 1106AX.
This question was solved.

Hi:
Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

PCMCIA firewire card for G4 laptop (follow-up to excessive timecode breaks)

1.) It was recommended that I get a new firewire bus to resolve excessive timecode breaks when importing from a Canon camcorder to an external hard drive. I've been reading through posts on this topic...and saw getting a new firewire port mentioned a few times... How come when I called Apple to check on the cost of a new firewire card for my laptop Powerbook G4, I was told that nothing could be added without replacing the entire logic board? Am I missing something? I didn't say "PCMCIA firewire drive" - is that something special? Any idea of the cost to purchase and install?
2.) Apple recommended just capturing to my internal hard drive, and transfering the projects. Apart from this being cumbersome... I need a little verification: if I transfer PROJECT X to my external hard drive, then do I also need to transfer my Audio Render, Autosave,Capture Scratch, Render, Thumbnail, and Waveform folders? [I realize this is basic, but I'm wary of losing the information the project needs and getting it all messed up]

pcmcia is an card slot. If you have a 12" PB you may not have one.
If you have a pcmcia slot, buy the card. Slide the card into your computer and start up. Put the camcorder on the card and your fw drive on the port built-in to your computer. Even if this does not solve the timecode issues, it will save you other headaches in the future.
Question. Does capturing to your internal drive solve the timecode issues you are having?
I disagree with the advice of capturing to your internal drive and transfering the project after the fact. There are a bunch of reasons why, and all of them are qualified, so I hesitate to go further until I know whether or not capturing to the internal drive is making your timecode headaches go away.
I suspect capturing to the internal drive will not help the timecode issues which will make the whole point moot. But hopefully I'm wrong :>

ps
When you talk to representatives from Apple, you have to be conscious that if they are not specialists in the area you are focused on their advice may be based on general recommendations from an IT or home user perspective. There is a difference between talking to a sales person on the floor of the Apple Store and someone from the Genius Bar. And the person at the Genius Bar may have a tremendous background in network installations, but never have opened FCP. Or you might get lucky and get a FCP savvy genius, who would be a bit weak when talking about some other area.
This is not a knock, just a reality. It is difficult to be deeply conversant with even one area. It is not realistic for the generalists you usually deal with to know the best answers to very specific questions.
I'm working toward becoming a certified trainer with FCP and it is not easy or cheap to become an expert at this one application, never mind all the possible applications and hardware combinations for wildly different needs and budgets.

The model of graphics card on my laptop and on the product specs on hp website are different

i have an HP Pavilion 15-e001AX laptop, the model numbers of the graphics card on my laptop and the specifications given on hp site are slightly different.
AMD Radeon HD 8650M/8670M is specification given on web and AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8600M Dual Graphics is given on my laptop.
are these 2 the same? if so why is it displayed differently on my laptop?...
This question was solved.

Hi:
The HD 8650M is a typo on the HP specs. The correct name of the graphics adapter is the HD 8650G.
That is the onboard graphics adapter.
The 8670M is the discrete video adapter which is supposed to kick in when the graphics demand is too much for the 8650G.
Now for some odd reason, the device manager lists the 8670M graphics adapter as an 8600M because that is how the driver file description for the 8670M graphics adapter hardware ID is labeled.
But your notebook has an 8670M discrete graphics adapter. There is no such adapter as an 8600M.
The 8600M is the series name.
Below are the graphics adapters in the 8500M and 8600M series

Sound in My HP Compaq Laptop

My compaq Laptop plays sound through the microphone jack i.e when I plug in my earpiece, brings sound, but when i remove the ear piece, no sound.
Please How can I rectify this problem, thanks.

Hi @Qd1 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
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
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I gather that you have sound when you connect head phones but not on the internal speakers.
When I checked Compaq Presario C700 CTO Notebook Software and Drivers, I noticed Windows 7 was not a supported Operating System. I am not sure if that is your exact model as you only provided the series.
As Windows 7 has not been tested on your notebook the outcome is unknown, however it may work just fine.

Compaq Laptop as monitor for a Mac Mini

I was wondering if it would be able to use a Compaq laptop as a monitor for a Mac Mini because I want to be able to easily switch between Mac and PC for as cheap as possible I would like to use the laptop as a monitor for the Mini.
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Richard,
Unless the Compaq has a video

this is not possible. However, you can use VNC to control your mini from your Compaq. If this is an option for you depends on the intended use for your mini.

Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. Noise at HardDisk part

Why my sister's Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. huhuhu.. the sound come from HardDisk in that laptop.. its sound like the HDD reader scratched the Disc insde.. how can it be?? my sister scold me already couze she wanna use for her work..

Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX Little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop

Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX white light next to where you plug in the power cable keeps blinking. Never stops Blinking. Computer doesn't power on.
The DC jack is loose, took the laptop apart, pressed down on the dc jack to hold it in place, and stuck the power cable back in. Tried to wiggle the cable around to see if the jack is bad. But it feels pretty solid, it's just the housing holding the dc jack in place that's broken.
But I'm still getting the little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop. No system power.
Question is.
1. Is the DC power jack bad and needs to be replaced or.
2. There is a short in the motherboard and the motherboard needs to be replaced.
I have check all over the internet for what the white light blinking means. I've found no answer.
Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this computer?

I already encouted this problem yesterday and I want to share this information on how I was able to fix this issue where in the dc jack blinking repeatedly and the laptop wont turn on. This issue is resulted due to overheat so laptop automatically shutdown and results to some kind of hibernation.
1. First you need to dissamble your laptop (compaq cq60). To clean the exhaust fan. I cleaned it because it was very dirty. I used my laptop for almost five years. If you dont know how to dissamble your laptop, you can check the tutorial from youtube. Just be very careful.
2. After Removing all the parts you can use a brush to remove all the dust inside your laptop. After cleaning all the dirt inside the laptop you need to let the motherboard cool for 1 to 1.5 hrs.
3. When you put the dc jack dont put the battery. So once you plugged the DC jack you can see if the light beside the jack still blinking or steady.
4. Once the light is steady., you can now power on your laptop. and a message will appear that your laptop overheated.
5. You can use cooling fan to prevent from heating.
6. Clean the parts inside your laptop every half year. to remove dust that cause the exhaust fan not to work properly.
Now I was able to use my laptop again.
Best Regards to All!
