How to get to the fan of Compaq Presario CQ62?

I believe there is an issue with the fan of my laptop, and I opened up the back of it in hopes that I could get to the fan and take a peek to see if it was merely a cleaning issue.  I failed to find a way to actually get to the fan.  I removed all visible screws and still couldn't manage to figure out how to get to the fan.  Can anyone offer assistance or point me in the right direction of how to figure this out?  Thanks.

You unscrew all the screws including the one under the battery.  Make sure you remove all RAM and Hard Drives.  Carefully pry up the key board (if you did miss some screws underneath the keyboard will not come up), DO NOT pry from the bottem or else you can break some of the keyboard wires.  There is one screw under the keyboard, take it out.  There are some wires under the keyboard that you can see pluged into the main circut board remove them all carefully ( the ribbions will come out by lifting the top where the ribbon is connected, and do not forget the one on the top left hand side (careful not to break the wires).   Now from unerneath remove all the doors and unplug the wireless card,  its about 1 1/2 by 1 inches.  Now carfully pry the shell aprt while its right side up ( the mother board is screwed into the bottem half of the shell).  The mother board has two screws holding it down take them out and unplug the wires on the right side and one on the bottem. Now lift the mother board on the right side and carfully slide it out, it may be slightly binded aroung the fan.  The fan is on the bottem of the mother board.  If you want to remove the fan you have to remove the heat sink so you need extra heat sink.
I hear HP laptops have a lot of fan issues,  I had a HP pavillion 6000 that had fan problems, and now this one.  I sent it off to get the CPU fixed and came back like this.  I do not trust HP to fix my computers any more and do all maintanance my self.

  • I have a Compaq Presario CQ62-213AX but i can't get 5.1 surround over HDMI. How can i get this?

    My Compaq Presario CQ62-213AX should be able to output 5.1 surround over HDMI but in 'supported formats' only stereo is listed.
    This computer has a ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5430 and according to the specs,
    http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/a​ti-mobility-hd-5400/Pages/hd-5430-specs.aspx
    and here...
    "A special feature of the HD 5000 series is its ability to transmit HD audio formats (like Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio) with up to 8 channels and 192 KHz / 24 Bit over HDMI 1.3a."
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-H​D-5430.23702.0.html
    it should work.
    My other HP laptop (DV7) is doing this fine so my system setup is OK.
    I have tried a full factory reset and have fully updated my system but it still doesn't work.
    Please tell me what i need to do to get it to work.
    Thanks,
    Tina.

    I can try-dunno how much help I'll be, though
    go here for Realtek drivers for surround sound
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=37&Level=5&Co nn=4&ProdID=144
    try this: go to Windows Sound, then playback devices, then click on speakers icon (should have realtek as default). Click on that, and click configure
    if realtek has a sound manager, try clicking on that, and a config dialog might appear
    sorry can't be much more help than that

  • How to get all the values from the dropdown menu

    How to get all the values from the dropdown menu
    I need to be able to extract all values from the dropdown menu; I know how to get all those values as a string, but I need to be able to access each item; (the value in a dropdown menu will change dynamically)
    How do I get number of item is selection dropdown?
    How do I extract a ?name? for each value, one by one?
    How do I change a selection by referring to particular index of the item in a dropdown menu?
    Here is the Path to dropdown menu that I'm trying to access (form contains number of similar dropdowns)
    RSWApp.om.GetElementByPath "window(index=0).form(id=""aspnetForm"" | action=""advancedsearch.aspx"" | index=0).formelement[SELECT](name=""ctl00$MainContent$hardwareBrand"" | id=""ctl00_MainContent_hardwareBrand"" | index=16)", element
    Message was edited by: testtest

    The findElement method allows various attributes to be used to search. Take the following two examples for the element below:
    <Select Name=ProdType ID=testProd>
    </Select>
    I can find the element based on its name or any other attribute, I just need to specify what I am looking for. To find it by name I would do the following:
    Set x = RSWApp.om.FindElement("ProdType","SELECT","Name")
    If I want to search by id I could do the following:
    Set x = RSWApp.om.FindElement("testProd","SELECT","ID")
    Usually you will use whatever is available. Since the select element has no name or ID on the Empirix home page, I used the onChange attribute. You can use any attribute as long as you specify which one you are using (last argument in these examples)
    You can use the FindElement to grab links, text boxes, etc.
    The next example grabs from a link on a page
    Home
    Set x = RSWApp.om.FindElement("Home","A","innerText")
    I hope this helps clear it up.

  • How to get all the values in one column of a JTable

    How to get all the values in one column of a JTable as a Collection of String.
    I don;t want to write a for loop to say getValueAt(row, 1) eg for 2nd column.

    I don;t want to write a for loop to say getValueAt(row, 1) eg for 2nd column. You could always write a custom TableModel that stores the data in the format you want it. It would probably be about 50 lines of code. Or you could write a loop in 3 lines of code. I'll let you decide which approach you want to take.

  • How to get all the values of a variable with F4 with checkboxes to select

    Dear Experts,
    After Executing a query by giving let 3 values(Out of 10 Values) to a variable.
    To give 2 more input values to the same variable(i.e.,total I wanted to give 5 inputs this time ),after refreshing the query,for that variable if I click F4, I am seeing the historical values(i.e.,3) and remaining 7 values also But with out any Check Boxes besides them to select the 2 inputs.
    In the same F4 Screen, If I click all values(an Icon at The bottom),then also Im seeing but no check Box.
    I hve tried by deleting the Delete Personalization also,but no use.
    Please tell me How to get all the values with F4 with check boxes to select ,whatever I want??
    Thanks in advance

    Take a look at the InfoObject and go to the Business Explorer tab. If the 'Query Def. Filter Value Selection' is set to 'Only Values in InfoProvider', you're only going to get the values in F4 that exist in the InfoProvider, not everything in the Master Data. This would need to be changed to the value of 'Values in Master Data Table' if you want it to show everything possible when F4 is chosen.
    Likewise, you're going to need to look at the query and go to the Advanced tab for the InfoObject. Make sure that the radio button for 'Values in Master Data Table' is selected. If not, then you should change that selection.

  • Alter a BAPI Result Table, how to get into the display "loop" ?

    Hello all,
    i have a problem regarding the result rows of a RFC/BAPI Call.
    There are three views, let's say 1,2,3. In View 1, i call a BAPI, and display the results in a table in View 2. I added a button in each row, which calls View 3 and displays some details concerning the selected row.
    I now want to store a flag for each row, that has been displayed in this way.
    In View 3 i store the key value of the displayed row in an own value node in the context.
    When i go back from View 3 to View 2, i want to see that flag (in an extra column) in every row, that has been selected in this session.
    So i do not know, how to alter a single row in the BAPI result table, how to get into the "loop" that is used by WD to display the table.
    already tried a supply function, but i was not able to alter single rows.
    Any suggestions/tips or perhaps code fragments of working supply functions ?
    Thank you !

    Hello,
    I'm not sure whether I understood your problem correctly, but I will try to give an answer.
    The easiest way I see is to copy the RFC Results to a Component Controller Context structure with an additional Flag field. You can use WDCopyService for copying.
    Then on the event of selecting you set your flag as appropriate for you (e.g. if you want to use an image as flag you set the Image path) on the current element of your table. Then display View 3.
    On going back View 2 should show now the new flag values...
    The trick is to copy the values (as at Time structures can not be expandend with new fields) and set the Flag on the onSelect event.
    Hope this helps,
    Frank

  • My mac book air can't start installation, because i use windows installation in DOS to make partion, now no mac os on it. How to get back the mac os? i have a window based iso image from a friend, because in my country there is no Apple service.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • How do I turn on my ipad, I just got it and I don't know how to get to the home screen. Also, is itunes free on the ipad

    How do I turn on my ipad, I just got it and I don't know how to get to the homescreen. Everytime I turn it on there is a black screen, the white charger, and the blue itunes circle. Also, are itunes free.?

    You must activate the iPad within iTunes on your computer. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer (read the minimum requirements for the iPad printed on the iPad box) and connect the iPad to your computer with the supplied cable to a 2.0 USB port - not a port on a hub- a port on your computer. iTunes should start and take you through the process.
    iTunes on the iPad is a store where you purchase media - it is not the music player. The iPod app is the music player. Both apps are pre installed on the iPad.

  • How to get on the apple seeding program?

    How to get in the apple seeding program. I really want to to test apples new iOS software.

    Yes, but if you're not already a developer you shouldn't be testing beta software.
    You shouldn't test beta versions of iOS on your day-to-day phone. You should have dedicated phone just for testing and it needs to be registered with Apple.
    Being part of the developer program and having access to iOS betas is not intended for just curious, non-developer people. It is for real developers who need to test their own apps on future versions of the OS and provide detailed feedback to Apple for bug fixing.
    If you're just curious about new OSs, don't bother.

  • How to get past the grey start up screen after mavericks update

    I have recently installed a free update of Mavericks on the App store. However after installing this, the Macbook Pro that i've installed on will not boot beyond the Grey start up screen. I was running Snow Leopard on a machine with intel core 2 duo processors 4 Gb of RAM and over 100Gb of free memory.
    I have attempted a safe boot (holding down shift while while holding the power button down), and Reseting the NVRAM by pressing 'command', 'option', 'P' and 'R' at the same time.
    I do not have an installation disk or a time machine back up.
    Does anyone know how to get passed the Grey start up Screen?
    Any Suggestions would be mucho appreciated.
