Ports on Compaq CQ61 laptop.

Recently I plugged a device with the normal USB plug into a socket (port) on my machine. Routine enough, but this time a message came up telling me that 'The dongle will perform faster if it is plugged into a hi-speed port.' Checking the info appears to tell me about ports (apparently 6) on my machine. To my knowledge there are just three. What am I missing here?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I am using a Compaq CQ61 laptop, model 416SA, Windows 7.

Hey aitch372,
It seems to me that your USB port is telling it that it's something different than a 2.0 port, which it is.
This document should give you a better look at why this is happening.

Try this fix first, Run it and whatever issues you have within the USB ports this fix should correct the problem.

Also, can you let me know where and when do you see this message on your notebook?
Also, where do you see the 6 ports being listed? If it's the device manager you will see more than there actually is because that usually is the way windows works.
Now if you want to disable that error message you can go to Start menu> right click computer> manage> device manager> expand Universal serial buscontrollers"USB ports"> then starting with the first port that should say something like "standard enhanced PCI to USB host controller>double click the name>go to the advanced tab>deselect "tell me if my device can perform faster" error message.
You will need to do this with ever port which in your case shouldn't be that much.
Please let me know if any of this helped, Thanks.

  • Compaq 615 Laptop not turning on

    I have a compaq 615.
    Yesterday, I noticed the little white LED on the charging port wont come on.Laptop wont even come on, everytime I pressed the power button, the usual white light which has now turned light blue/green comes on for a few seconds and goes off without powering the laptop.
    When I plug the charger, the little LED displays light blue/green instead of the usual white light that denotes that its charging properly. the light blue/green light comes on for a few seconds and also the LED on the LAN port blinks red about 10times.
    I have tried sitting the memory modules properly, still laptop wont come on.
    What could be the problem please?

  • How do i upgrade my hard drive on a hp/compaq nc6000 laptop

    I have a HP/Compaq NC6000 laptop and the hard drive has failed, I have tried 60GB and an 80GB known good hard drive in the machine bit all it says is "Non system disk", how do I upgrade or do I have to put a 30GB HDD back into it

    Hi:
    You have to install an operating system on it.
    Install the 80 GB HDD and boot into the BIOS. It should be showing up there.
    If it is, you should be fine.
    Without an operating system installed, that is the error you get.
    If that disk has an operating system on it from another PC, there is a very good chance it won't boot up and again, you will get that error.

    Hi:
    Does your notebook have an Intel or AMD processor?
    If it has an AMD processor, follow the instructions I posted at the link below for how to get the XP audio driver to work.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/multimedia-audio-controller-driver-for-wind...
    If it has an Intel processor try doing the same thing but with this driver instead...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-44349-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    You would browse to:  C:\SWSetup\sp28552\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmATI, and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio device from the list.
    There are no Vista or W7 drivers for the card reader (Base System Device), so try the XP driver.  I think it will work.

  • Hp compaq nx9010 Laptop

    Guys
             I bought a off lease older HP compaq nx9010 Laptop  for my kid without a Hard drive." Does the unit require a Hard Drive connector to install a Hard drive ?" Dave    P.S  the Hard drives seem to fit , but None of the hard drives seem to boot up  and or crash once I turn the unit on ! I Checked on line and found Hard drive connectors for the unit , but several tech's at local stores stated the units didnt require one?     Please Help

    Hi,
    This is a 10 yrs old machine, for the right HDD, you don't need any cable (unless the old owner pulled it out). I've got a copy of the manual but could not find a link for you to download. Please note it does not use SATA HDD and it only supports a bit over 120Gb.
    Regards.

  • My compaq CQ61 doesn't start!

    When I switch my Compaq CQ61 on, the fan begins working but the screen remains off.
    The only thing that happens is that the "Bloq Mayus" and "Bloq Num" LEDs flash indefinitely...
    Anybody knows which could be the problem?
    thanks in advance

    The model is CQ61 - 325 ES
    So maybe is something about the motherboard... in that case, which options do I have?
    In anyway, I'm gonna try to do the hard reset you told me about.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Compaq CQ56 Laptop/Will not reboot/black screen

    Hi...I am new to this forum...I have a Compaq CQ56 laptop....just recently while updating my spyware and installing my updates, when the system reboots the screen remains black....I launch the system repair...it takes  me to the system restore window...did the system restore and the computer rebooted just fine....however everytime I need to install an update and reboot...I run into the same issue each time.  Ran the Hard disk and Memory diagnostic test and that passed without any issue.  I did notice a loud noise which I assume was coming from the fan....not sure.  
    Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2762895) failed at the install.  Is there another fix outside of having to take in for repair?
    Thank you for your time

    Hello Nana53
    Do you only run into the problem when you try to install just the Windows 7 update (KB2762895) or does it happen when trying to update any application? You said the screen is black, so how did you perform the system repair? Are you referring to the black screen as the screen goes black while windows is trying to load and you do see the BIOS and boot options?
    Searching the internet I have found mixed feelings and problems with users installing the Windows update. It seems to be meant to improve compatibility of programs, however, some applications aren't liking the changes.

    In your case it isn't working. You can hide it from view so that you don't need to update it. This should prevent the problem from reoccurring. Hide Windows 7 Updates that you do not Ever Want to Install

  • HP Compaq A900 laptop broken screen replacement.

    Hi Guys,
    I am a newbie here. Please tolerate me if my question sound basic or silly.
    I have a broken screen on my Compaq A900 laptop. Its a 17" WXGA+ lcd screen. I will try to replace it with a used screen as I am on a budget.
    The question is will any 17" WXGA+ screen suitable as long as it is from another hp laptop ?
    Any advise appreciated.

    It is a little more complicated than that. You need to find the same model screen, and not all HPs with 17" widescreen wxga+ will work. The right one could come from an HP but also a Toshiba, etc. You need to remove the screen and search by the part number of the screen, or you can go on eBay and buy a screen for your specific model. Laptop screens are generally pretty reasonable now.
    Here is one on eBay now, but $170 is just about as expensive as laptop screens run right now. You just have to be sure you are getting the right thing and if you search by screen model, not laptop model you will get more "hits" and likely a better price:

  • UJ-220 BD-RE Blu-Ray Drive Burner on HP Compaq 6720s laptop

    Happy New Year!
    I received from a friend a UJ-220 BD-RE Blu-Ray Drive Burner from a broken Sony PCG-391M.
    It's possible to install it on my HP Compaq 6720s laptop? They are the same connectors (PATA) IDE interface.
    I need a driver? I dont't want to write BLURAY just to read.
    Or, it-s possible to buy in Romania a USB 2.0 External Enclosure For UJ-220?
