Guide to take apart an HP Compaq cq60-220EO

Hi. I have a huge problem with an cq60-220EO computer. It has over time taken in a lot of dust and that is traped in the cooler grill. I have softly tryed to take apart the computer in order to get rid of the dust, but in vain. I don't know if I shall approch the cooler and the fan from above or belov.
Does anyone know where to find a good guide who describes as to how to take the "Compaq Presario CQ60-220EO" apart??
The problem is that dust has gathered at the cooler grill and that prevents air from being blown out and like a blanket it traps the same air on the inside and prevent fresh air from the outside to enter the cooling system. As a result the temperature of the traped air increase rapidly. In order to protect itself the CPU lowers the clock frequency untill the temperature reach a point where the Mother Board simply cuts the power in order to save what can be saved. No "Windows is shutting down" messages of any kind, just a few thousand RPMs of the fan and then it cuts power.

Here is the Manual you need:

Be careful in there. Take your time and establish a method to identify and keep track of the screws.

  • Take Apart Guide for PM G5 2.0 Dual (Late 2005)

    Hello
    It has been determined that my PM G5 has a blown power supply. Unfortunately I do not qualify for the repair program as I purchased my PM G5 in late December '05. So, now I'm going to have to try & replace the power supply myself.
    I've been searching the web now for about 2 days & did manage to find some guides, the best of which is from '03, but I can't seem to find clear consice instructions for my particular G5. I'm stuck at the point where I need to remove the large plate (the on with G5 printed on it) that covers the CPU's. After that everything I've read/seen seems pretty straight forward.
    So, anyone know where I can get a take apart guide for the Power Mac G5 Dual (Late 2005).
    Thanks
    Tim

    Steve, looks like you have exactly what I need. Is there any chance you could send me the information, or a link to where I could obtain it? I have two G5's that need repair and I am under a deadline. Thanks in advance. (Hope someone is still watching this thread!)

  • Service Manual or Take-apart Guide for Motherboard...

    Does anyone have the Nokia Service Manual for the Booklet? Or a take-apart guide which covers replacing the motherboard? Thanks.

    You will have to try elsewhere for that.
    It's against the rules of this forum to pass on Nokia's internal service manuals or discuss warranty voiding self repairs.
    With it being a computer you may have more luck on a general computer hardware forum.

  • IMac G3 Take Apart

    I have been considering taking apart my iMac G3 600 Mghz "snow". The screen is very bad and i think it will die very soon. I plan to put it in a new case and use it as a server, but i had a few quesitons. If I take it apart what precautions should i take and is it even worth it at all? Would there be any danger involved in it? I plan on taking out the Logic board, Power Supply, CD Drive, HardDrive, down-converter someting and any other parts that are necessary to run.
    What are you thoughts on this?

    You could try to locate the service and repair manual for your iMac on the Internet. I think the name is
    imac_summer01.pdf. AppleRescue has this manual for sale. See: http://applerescue.com/
    Check out this site:

    iMac HDD Upgrade Guide (Slot-Loading)
    Warning:
    The power supply is just a logic board and it isn't separately enclosed like a pc power supply. And the power supply is next to the crt and crt contains dangerous/fatal voltages even after powering off your machine!

  • Compaq CQ60-111EM CPU

    Hi All,
    I have the Compaq CQ60-111EM and I am extremely happy with it apart from the CPU. The Celeron 575 is just too slow. Is it possible to upgrade this CPU? I notice it is a PPGA 478 socket and there are dual core processors available with this socket but I am not sure if the motherboard / bios etc will support a processor of this speed. I have tried to find the motherboard specifications but too no avail.
    Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. 

    The Celeron 575 is used in the Acer 5330-2339 that I recently acquired.  It is a Socket P / micro FCPGA ( see http://processorfinder.intel.com/Details.aspx?sSpec=slb6m for specifications).
    After researching, a Pentium T3400 ( http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLB3P ) seemed to offer a good upgrade path ( dual core 2.16GHz ).
    The T3400 is typically available on eBay for less than $40 including shipping; the T3200 at 2.00GHz is also another dual core alternative.
    Having just made this upgrade, it seems to have boosted the CPU experience index by over 30%.
    What I did not do was check the temperatures before the upgrade.  If anyone could run the Hardware Monitor from CPUID ( http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php ) on the Celeron 575 and report the results, it would be appreciated.
    The post-upgrade temperature being reported is about 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Also, the CPUID CPU-Z system utility ( http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php ) offers much information about your motherboard, memory, and graphics hardware.

  • Can i take apart the imac power cord to put it through a hole in my desk.  I'm able to get the ring off, but dont want take the housing off incase it breaks

    can i take apart the imac power cord to put it through a hole in my desk.  I'm able to get the ring off, but dont want take the housing off incase it breaks

    I hear you.  The reason I asked is that on the computer end of the cable, I took the ring off and it looks like there are some clasps around the housing, so I was wondering if these were for the purpose of threading the the cable.  I will try and get some pictures.  The drill is charging, however!!
    Thanks

  • How do i take apart an old Studio Display?

    So, my girlfriend and I saw this article where someone has taken apart an old Apple Studio Display and turned it into a groovy little cat bed:
    http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/the-mac-apple-studio-display-cat-bed-mod/
    The problem though is that I can't find any instructions online as to how to properly take apart one of these displays, and neither of us really has a clue on how to start or what we're getting into should we decide to do this to our old one that's just taking up space in the basement.
    Anyone have any links to detailed instructions, or feel like offering up any advice? Thanks!

  • Compaq CQ60-104TU keyboard not responding

    Hi experts,
    I have been facing this problem of keys not responding or responding in erratic fashion on my Compaq CQ60-104TU laptop. Because of this I'm not even able to login into my system.
    Can somebody please point out to the problem and also the solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Himanshu

    as far as i know, if you can type in your password on the log-on screen then the keyboard is working, if the problem would appear after logging in or it will appear when you are on your desktop screen then it may be an operating system problem or a user account corruption issue
    the keyboard would only be a hardware failure if when you turn on your nb, there will be no ligts on teh keyboard, capslock key will not lit or no response at all from the moment you turn on the nb
    for the touchpad, try to check if its off or on... if there is an orange light above the touchpad then its off, toggle the switch on that light to turn it to blue..
    so before anything else.. TRY THIS FIRST!!!!
    1. remove the battery
    2. disconnect  the power adapter
    3. with no power supply at all, press and hold the power button for 1 min.. make sure it will be 1 min...
    in technical terms we call this HARD RESET.. this process would release static charges that might be contained on the power button bec sometimes those static charges causes harware malfunctionalities..  
    then it this step will not work.. do this...
    try to go to safe mode by continually pressing F8 when booting (press F8 when you see hp invent screen), then you'll be directed to advance boot options... choose last known good config.. then it will boot to last known good settings....
    please let me know if this will not work..
    if not "choose repair your computer" on the boot selections.. choose keyboard layout as US.. then if asked for a username and password.. you can cahnge the administrator username to  your username then put in your password.. if you are not using any password leave it blank.. then choose start-up repair...
    please let me know if this will not work..
    Hope this helps.....................

  • Compaq cq60-420

    hello,
    i have a compaq cq60-420 i get somethimes error of the processor.
    i have in the notebook a AMD x64 ql66. i think that this processor
    is defective. for an half year the temp of the processor was higher
    vent goes for max speed. i cleaned the ventilation channel. no result
    with witch processor i can change it, i hope for one beter processor.
    or is this not possible. for example t9400 or t9600 from intel ?
    if this is possible what i must everything do for this change ?
    can someone give me some advice please?

    First, you cannot plug in an Intel processor to an AMD socket. It would require a new motherboard and processor, which would cost more than a new laptop. If the laptop boots and runs it is highly unlikely there is any defect in the processor. More likely the laptop needs to be disassembled and the area around the fan and heatsink cleaned out and new thermal compound applied. Post back if you want to try this. I am understanding you tried cleaning the fan vent from the outside. That is a start but not always sufficient.

  • Wifi On/off button on Compaq CQ60-207el

    Hi guys, I've recently bought this notebook from Compaq ( Cq60-207el), everything work fine except the Wireless On/off button that is always turned off, even if the card is working. The problem is that the only way to turn off the wireless is manually from Arch.
    02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
    This is the wifi card model from lspci. I use that with madwifi drivers.
    So, how can I enable this button ? (people with a very similar model of note told me this works on ubuntu, not perfectly but works)
    Thanks!

    genisis300 wrote:no way to be 100% sure but if you press the button and run dmesg along with ifconfig etc all indications are that the card is no longer active. If memory serves the way they do this is to turn of the transmitter not the hardware.
    Oh ok because it's the trasmtiter that dissipes energy.
    Thank you mate!
    Hope with the next kernel we'll get light on button !
