Compaq Presario S4500UK Won't start after wall-socket disconnect. Is this a CMOS battery issue?

Recent software rebuild with additional internal HDD (March 2011) as dual-boot WinXP/Linux setup worked fine. CD/DVD RW drive started to give cyclic redundancy check errors so replaced drive a week ago. All still OK. Change of electricity provided and increased energy usage conciousness switched off machine at the wall overnight after normal shutdown. Machine would not restart in the morning. Did not load BIOS; all lights came on briefly and then went dead after 3-4 seconds with power light still on. One can get a similar effect by plugging the keyboard into the PS2 Mouse Socket as I did once!
After 20 minutes or so trying all sorts of things managed to boot from Linux CD. Shut down/restarted and all's fine provided I don't switch off at the wall. Also seems to be OK after brief 5-10 second power off but problem persists with any long disconnection. It seems that after 10-15 minutes power-on and 2-3 attempts at restarting, the BIOS comes up and all's well, although it has stopped in the middle of a Windows or Linux start-up on one or two occasions.
Am I right in thinking the problem might be the result of a dead CMOS battery? The reason I ask is that the clock seems to keep time OK and there are no apparent issues with BIOS once it loads.
Any help/guidance would be much appreciated. Further config info below.
Compaq Presario S4500UK Bios v3.03 dual boot WinXP Pro SP3 / Linux Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid (2.6.32-33)

           Recently installed HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP21 replacing NEC ND-1100A

I didn't get any replies so I went ahead with replacing the CMOS battery but that hasn't helped. The problem is also evident if I power down and leave it for about an hour or more before trying to restart even if I don't disconnect the wall socket. It seems to take about 15-20 goes at restarting before it fires up. I would be really grateful for any clues as to what's wrong.
Tks

Still no replies to my increasingly ticklish problem so I'll give you the benefit of further investigations in case it prompts some words of wisdom...
So it's not the CMOS battery. Other symptoms emerge...
1.    "Crashes" are absolute, immediate and without warning - just like someone turned the lights out.
2.    "Crashes" also happen occasionally when firing up Truecrypt using the "Auto-Mount Devices" option but thus far have not occured when selecting the required device first.
3.    The problem appears to be getting worse in that it takes longer to persuade the machine to start from cold.
4.    If I remove one of the HDDs the machine boots up fine - or it has so far (about 10 times after power disconnect for 1hr or more).
This makes me start to suspect the PSU. I've done the diagnostic checks on the HP website
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=...
and it appears that the Power Supply is working just fine but if I remove a device not required at boot-up the thing will fire up first time. My analysis seems to suggest that the existing PSU (Lite-On PS-5251-08HP) rated at 250W is working at near capacity but it cannot service the peak loads when the HDDs spin up during boot-up.
Can anyone confirm this, pls?
If this is the case, can anyone suggest a suitable upgrade? There's loads of product out there with prices ranging from £15 to £150 but as I'm a bit of a numpty and I don't seem to be able to narrow the choice down sensibly. I've tried going through the info on the HP website and various tech forums/fora without getting very far. It would be brill if there's someone out there that knows the product and could share their knowledge.
Tks in anticipation!

Compaq Presario A900 won't start

The problem is the blue ring around the AC adapter plug lights up when plugged in, but it blinks non-stop.
Following the online troubleshooting, I've:
1. Unplugged AC, removed battery, held power button down to drain system, then reseated the ram (twice).
2. With the battery still removed, and plugging in the AC, the blue ring lights up and blinks. Pressing the power button does nothing.
3. With the battery installed, and no AC, the blue lightning bolt icon blinks 4 times when the power button is pressed, but computer does not start.
4. With the battery installed and plugging in the AC, the blue ring and lightning bolt icon both blink non-stop. Pressing the power button makes the lightning bolt icon go out, and the blue ring stops blinking for about 3 seconds, then both lights return to their blinking state.
Sometimes, pressing the power button causes all lights to come on, the fan spin up, then it shuts down - sometimes briefly getting to the opening black/white screen, most time not at all....basically, it shuts down quick.
Any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem with my Laptop which is a Compaq Presario A962TU, it will boot up normally about 50% of the time. I have upgraded to the latest bios and that made no difference either

Compaq presario v5000 drivers xp

I recently purchased a Compaq Presario V5000 online. It came with a copy of Windows 7 that was not genuine. I then installed my own copy of XP. I can't seem to find any drivers for this laptop anywhere. Please help.

There are 22 models in the V5000 series. You should have a Service Tag attached to bottom with full model number.

Compaq Mini 110 won't start after cleaning Think Point virus

Hi
I'm helping my daughter with the following problem with her Compaq mini 110.
After removing the Think Point virus according to advice in different places the mini 110 don't boot after power on. The choice of pressing F10 (BIOS setup) and F9 (boot order) appears. If I don't touch any key at startup it starts accessing the hard disk for a few seconds, according to the hard disk LED and hard disk sound. Then it stops the boot procedure. Somewhere on the HP web site I read that pressing F11 repeatedly during boot would give the opportunity to choose operatings system recovery from the recovery partition. It doesn't respond to F11. Setting boot device priority doesn't seem to be a solution, since there is only one choice, so I can't force it into the recovery. I would appreciate any advice how to proceed. Below I add som additional facts.
Some threads on the forum mentions pressing F6 for recovery funktions, but it doesn't respond. There also ought to be some function on F12, but I can't figure out what. Doesn't respond anyway. Any explanation for F6 or F12?
Thanks,
Per
FACTS:
Computer model: Compaq Mini 110c-1100SO
OS is Windows XP as supplied with the computer and was never changed.
Hard disc diagnostics in BIOS setup performed without error reports (160 GB, disc type suggests Seagate hard disc)
RAM diagnostics in BIOS setup performed without error reports (1 GB)
Pressing F9 at startup gives no choices apart from the hard disk, no choice for partitions or USB boot.
I have set the delay for the user to press F10 to 5 seconds.
The display/screen works properly during BIOS setup
Power adaptor connected, and charging LED lights constantly (as I expect it to do)
Power on LED lights constantly
Wireless network LED lights constantly
Caps lock LED flashes briefly at start up, then gets dark.
When booting stops, background light on display is on, no text or symbols are shown at this state.

Hi,
On the link below is a brief guide ( and the download ) to create a bootable Antivirus disk. Create this disk on another PC and when done, start the infected PC so that you can open the DVD drive, insert the Antivirus CD you've created and then restart the infected PC to initiate the process.

Presario CQ57 won't start. BIOS is bad. How fix it

When I turn the laptop on, the screen goes nowhere. Apparently the BIOS has gone bad. I don't have a repair disk. IS there any kind of a CD that I can get that will restore the BIOS?

Many things other than BIOS can cause a no-boot condition.

Compaq Presario- New Hdd replacement 303 and start up failed error

Hello,
Have an Issue with my Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop which started getting a harddisk failure via SMART check. Decided to get a new WD harddrive, size 320g, same as original drive. Tried to recover via recovery CD's I made when I first got the the Laptop. Kept getting stuck at 83% tried 4 times, stuck at same place each time. Ran a test in BIOS and got two failures; Start up test Failed and Harddrive 303 failure.Decided to try another new WD harddrive and, as well, with the original HP recovery CDS. After trying to recover it today was unsuccessful once again. Did the test once again in BIOS and got Start up test failed and Harddrive 303 failure.
Need help narrowing down to what the issue is here. When the first WD harddrive was taken back to the store they checked and it worked fine for them but returned it anyways. Tried another one and still same issue. I'm prety sure its not the new harddrive and not the 2 set of recovery CDS.
I'm confused and need assistance. What could be causing this problem?

K87,
It sounds like either the SATA cable/ connection or the motherboard. When you are replacing the hard drivers do they just slide into place, or is there a small cable that you have to connect to it? The likelihood of having 3 bad hard drives is rare I have never personally come across that issue.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

My compaq pres v5000 says no sound device installed

My compaq presario v5000 has no sound and no amount of drivers or fixes 've found here work. Is there a scan you can do to see if my sound card is buggered?

Did you follow through both documents from start to finish? If you have and it does not resolve the issue, you can consider a factory restore. If that fails you may have hardware failure.

Presario v5000 and SSD?

What is the best SSD that I can put in my Compaq Presario V5000?

When windows cannot copy files to the hard disk it's one of three things, your hard drive, the memory modules or the Windows Setup Disk. What I personally would do is try another copy of Windows even if you make a verbatim copy of the Windows disk itself it's still ok to use because you have the COA (Certificate of Authenticity) on the underside of the laptop. Failing that, download yourself Memtest86+ and run at least 5 passes on your memory to verify if your memory is faulty or not. By the way to make sure that it doesn't shut off during the test take the hard drive out, Of course being very careful not to damage anything. One other thing is the shutting off always the same time ? or is it random ?

Presario v5000 802.11n

I recently acquired an HP Compaq Presario V5000 CTO that has no wireless adapter installed. I know that when this notebook was manufactured the only mini-PCI wireless adapters made for it were 802.11a/b/g, and I see that these are readily available from many sources. However, I'm wondering if a mini-PCI 802.11b/g/n adapter would function properly in this notebook.
Also, I'd like to know if the antenna is factory installed in all of these or if it would have no antenna if it was originally configured without wireless capability.
Thanks in advance for any information you might have regarding these questions.
This question was solved.

You have to find and install one of the wireless cards supplied as original equipment on the laptop. HP implements a BIOS block for non-supported wireless cards. You need to go on eBay or otherwise and find a wireless card with an HP part number from that era. As far as the antenna, it has been a long time since laptops did not have wireless antennae. The V5000 is new enough that I am sure the factory installed antennae in every one. To be sure just open the memory bay (the middle bay on the bottom) and look for antenna leads. Here is the Service Manual:

Wifi card on eBay:

So in a nutshell, sorry no "n" wireless is possible. If there are antennae there will only be two anyway and you need three for "n" wireless in most cases.
