Power Problem w/ Compaq Presario C700!!

The other night I was working on my friends compaq presario c700. I was using the battery power. I was running a pre-bios .iso file program, due to password complications. In the middle of running the program to reset the admin. password, it turned off. So I plugged in the A/C cable. After pressing the power button, the led that is represented by a little Lightning Bolt flashed 5 or 6 times and then stopped. The laptop did not turn on. Even when I have the A/C plugged in, I see no led light showing that it is charging. I don't think my software that I was running could of caused this, or could it of? What steps should I take in fixing this problem? Have these models been known to have issues like this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Based on you saying the LED flashed 5 or 6 times, this generally means the battery is fully discharged. Do you have access to a volt meter or multimeter?

My Compaq Presario C700 shuts down at randomly and there is no noise coming from the machine at all

My laptop will only turn on for about ten minutes before dying, it doesn't even go through the usual shut down process, it just turns off. Also, there is no sound of a fan or any humming coming from the computer. Before this problem of the random shutting down started, there was always a humming sound coming out. This happened to the computer about a year ago, and I gave it into PC World (Ireland) and they wiped the system and it worked again. So, the minute I saw the same thing happening I backed everything up and wiped it myself, I set up my user in vista again, but the computer was the same and was turning off randomly.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?? Thanks for your help.
PS: It's A HP Compaq Presario C700 Series Notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium.

There may be a real hardware issue (like spanning above mentioned.) When I lose sound on my phone, here are the things I try, in no particular order:
If you use Apple TV, open a movie file (you tube, music video, anything you can play over Apple TV.) Switch to Apple TV playout and then switch back to your phone. If you left the phone going out to Apple TV, it may have kept the sound routing there -- switching back and forth again should reset it back to playing to your iPhone speakers.
If you use headphones, stick the headphones in and out again. Same kind of idea, the headphone detection may have been incorrect, and the toggle in & out will help it reset back to your speakers.
If you play games, go into a game with sound and adjust the volume there. There are actually three different volume settings (as far as I have experimented with) ringer, "normal" volume, and game volume... it's a little buggy figuring out which one your phone should be using

Compaq Presario C700 Question

I just recently bought a new charger for my Presario C700, due to the last one breaking. Now, I should note that I have not used my notebook in about 7 months or so because it was out of power and I had no means of charging. I bought the charger from atbatt.com (http://www.atbatt.com/product/23318.asp). This was my first time purchasing anything off their website. So, as soon as the charger arrived, which was March 9 (yesterday), I plugged it in, and the light on it indicates that it is receiving power, but the laptop is not charging. I need to know if I have purchased the wrong charger and should return it or whether or not there is something wrong with my notebook.
Thanks for your time.

What country do you live in, Your Highness? That is going to make a difference in where I suggest you buy the battery.
This is an extremely old laptop, right?
If you live in the U.S. this one will work:

It is not genuine HP but for the price it will be fine for an older laptop. If you must have genuine HP they cost at least $50 and have to be shipped from China.

HP would be happy to sell you a new laptop. But the C700 really has no trade-in value.
Here is a replacement battery on eBay:

HP compaq Presario C700 LAPTOP NO Power

Hi I have a compaq presario c717nr that works with a charged battery, my ac adapter works as I have an hp pavillion d6000 and it works, also tested the ac adapter from my pavillion on the presario and it does not power up with out the battery, when plugged in to ac adapter with the battery on it says charging but it does not charge or power the laptop on ac power only. need help

I have exactly the same C717NR and same exact symptoms. It will work with a charged battery. With AC adapter in, the power jack blue led comes on only if the battery is on. And as u said, it doesnt really charge as I see that the battery charge is dwindling. Also, as soon as you remove the battery, the ac power jack led goes off. The laptop cannot be run directly via AC. I checked an exact same c717NR and his works fine on AC even when you remove battery while windows is on.
So my question is whether if its the dc power jack that bad or some thing else is messed up? I can say I even swapped mother board and had the same problem.
Thanks.

Compaq Presario C700 series notebook - C757EA Issues

Hi, I'm currently having a problem with my laptop, it's a compaq presario c757ea (it says c700 on the laptop itself) it will not receive any power or charge the battery. I don't want to get a new laptop because it will be too much money.
I had problems with it previously involving the hard drive failing 3 times and when i had got it back when the hard drive was replaced the third time it worked and charge but an hour after that it stopped charging and only would run off the battery.
I phoned up HP in the past and they've just told me to take it to PC world, but PC world are garbage because they say you might as well get a new laptop, they will not listen to me, all i want is a courier out to come and collect the laptop.
I've tried entering my Serial and product number on the HP website but it gives me this:
"We were unable to find any results that match the information you entered. You can either try a new search, or get further assistance from an HP Support agent. For a new search, please click the “Check again” button below, and then make sure to enter the correct product and serial number. Please see the “How Do I Find My Product Number and Serial Number?” information on the right side of the Warranty Status Check page, if necessary"
I've entered them correctly and i still get the same message.
Is there any other way in which i can get a courier sent out to collect my laptop? i would really appreciate it.
If it helps i had the charging problem since around August 2009.

Is there anyone out there at HP in which is able to give me information in getting a courier out to come and collect my laptop?

Installation problems in Compaq Presario V2617LA Laptop

Hello,
I am new in all of this Unix-Linux world and I need some help, here's my problem:
I have already partitioned and prepared my HDD to install Solaris, Windows and maybe Fedora (if someone recommends a better Linux it'll be appreciated), all of those three partitions perfectly identified and ready for the OS (it happens that I learn quickly, but I'm still new on this). I perfectly pass all Solaris 10 11/06 installation windows and requirements and Solaris begins installation, BUT when it all looks great, the installation (progress bar) just stops moving having 209.29 MBytes remaining and installing the 'Solstice Enterprise Agents 1.0.3 files for root file system', the wierdest thing is that the little slash-dash at the end is still turning around, the working processor light is on and nothing freezes (except when I navigate through the menu options), I have waited for a whole day and the installation does not finish and even re-downloaded Solaris and burn the image again two times and nothing.
Could it be a hardware compatibility problem? What do you think?

Problem with Compaq Presario V6000 laptop

Hi forum members! I am a newbie to this forum and i would like to introduce myself, my name is Hammy and I am from Glasgow. I have a problem with my laptop whih is a Compaq Presario V6000 running windows Vista, 32 bit product number V6254EA.
A few weeks ago when i turned on the computer it failed to boot up, the only thing visible on the screen is the bar at the bottom of the screen with `Microsoft Corporation` displayed below it.
I have tried starting it up in SAFE MODE but all that happens is that a certain amount of windows system drivers are loaded and then goes no further!
I have purchased recovery discs with no joy! I have also tried a hard reset which has not solved the problem. I tried the `hard drive self test, which after approx 30 seconds carrying out a quick test displayed the following message #1- 07 Fail.
If it is the hard drive or the motherboard that has failed is it possible to replace them.
Thanks

Did you burn the recovery disks? Will follow up with the manual and a link to buy the hdd.
