I have a Presario CQ56-115DX. I attempted a ram upgrade now I only get bsod.Help?

I recently attemptede a ram upgrade to 2-4 GB PC3 DDR3 1066Mhz modules but the notebook would not turn on(aka.....black screen and no sound, just blinking caps lock). I then put the original RAM back into the previously working pc and it blue screened. I attempted a system repair with a factory OEM of windows 7 but it was unsuccessful. The error tells me to remove or uninstall newly added software or hardware. I ran a memtest from bios on both the memory and the hard drive which detected no problems. I reformatted the hard drive and attempted a reinstall but the computer blue-screened during installation before the files were even installed. Could someone please help?

Try install with just one memory module installed, try the other slot if it does not work on the first try.

Re: Used to have 6MB, now I only get 2MB :( help!

I am a total novice with all bb usage but am intrigued with your message. Is it the connection "speed" that has dropped? I recently found some figures for my computer (and I don't remember how I got them) but I got a connection of 16.3Mb with other figures for Download (13.7 Mb) and upload (0.96 Mb). Perhaps someone could explain why there is such a big difference with your own figure and why mine are also so different.
Thank you

I moved your post to start your own thread to avoid confusion with the post originator on the other thread.
there are many things to take into account but most impoertant is distance from the exchange and line quality.
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results .
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

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.

Go into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account.

Set Yahoo as you home page, and set firefox to open the homepage when it starts. (Not to open previous pages).

The Apple launch issues article suggests pulling 3rd-party plug-ins if the problem doesn't happen in Safe Mode.

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!

I have a Presario CQ56 Notebook PC. It say I have no Hard drive why?

I was given a Presario CQ56 Notebook PC. It is now upon turning it on says to install an operating system. It uses Windows 7 it then tells me that there is no hard disk. Can someone help me please. The warranty started on 02/17/2011

Hi:
Start your PC and at the HP welcome screen, tap the F10 key to get access to the BIOS.
In the BIOS menus, there should ba a diagnostics menu for the hard drive and memory.
Run the diagnostics on the hard drive.
If it fails you need a new hard drive. If your notebook is still under warranty, you will need to contact HP Support to see where you go from there.

No sound/Crackling noise on my Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX Notebook

This computer is barely 3 months old. Everything worked fine first 2 weeks I had it but one day the sound went out. It didnt go out completely though. It goes in and out with this horrid crackling white noise. The better the sound gets the worse the white noise gets. I tried running every troubleshoot program i could find and everything says its working fine. My sound card is Realtek HD something or other. Yesterday I got an update for the bios from HP and it fixed the problem. But today it started happening again exactly the same. Im thinking something is wrong in the BIOs. The computer is still under warranty but i dont want to have to send it in and risk losing all of my stuff or getting my personel info hijacked. Please help!!!

i did the restore, too, and it didn't work. that's what baffled me! imagine restoring to factory default and the audio still does not work? i must admit that i did download one of the updates and got the audio working. it was temporary because as the Windows Vista updates were being applied, at one point I lost audio again.
i did a bit more research last night and found an interesting post. it requires manually amending some files, so i'm okay to give that a try. as this has been quite the issue to troubleshoot, i will post a solution if I find it. i don't want to settle on this... don't give up!

Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX will not turn on

I have a Compaq Presario CQ-56 115DX that is almost a year old. My system first had problems crashing whenever I would watch video content, I reinstalled both Java and Flash, but that did not resolve anything. After that my computer would keep checking my file system on C for consistency whenever I would turn it on, even after telling me that it found no problems. After that I received a message that my C file system was corrupted, I attempted to back up my files and do a system restore to the factory settings but it crashed during the process. Since then it will not turn on all the way though the battery will charge and the On button lights up, as do the WiFi key and the Caps Lock key. (The Caps lock key blinks once, which according to the HP errors signal website means that the CPU has problems.) I have tried holding down the button to reset it, I have also taken out the battery and plugged it in.
Is there anything I can do to repair this? Or is it a lost cause?

Presario CQ56-115DX Webcam Help

I'm pretty sure that this model doesn't have a built-in webcam in it. It has a spot at the top for one, right next to the microphone hole. My question is, can I buy the webcam separately and put it in, or ship it off to HP to have it put in for me (sonce it has the spot at the top for one)? I love this laptop and would really like to have a webcam built into it, instead of having to deal with the hassle of carrying around an external one.

The option to add webcam is available only for CTO models where notebooks are customized while ordering directly from HP. I dont think you can send it to HP to add webcam.
I guess this thread over here will answer your question better. If you really want to add a webcam by yourself, if you open display assembly of your laptop, the (7) part is nothing but your webcam.
If you have some knowledge about a laptop disassembly. The Service Manual is available over here and Part# for your webcam module would be 626656-001 which you can order and add it on your computer by yourself or taking the notebook to a local technician.

I have a presario cq60-615dx 64bit os max ram??? ty in advance.

The documentation is conflicting. Says that 4Gb is max for the model, but also states w/ 64bit OS there is no max RAM. Whats my max with this model and OS? Thank you very much.

Hi,
Your system board will support up to 4GB ram (two 2GB sticks)
While Windows can access much more (there is an upper limit with Win7), the limitation is your system board.

When I attempt to brouse the internet I only get the Amazon site

When I attempt to browse the internet from the firefox homepage the browser only searches within the amazon site.
Please advise, Thanks

It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
