Hello @Fred_W,
I understand that your power switch is not working and you require assistance. I am providing you with a guide on how to ensure it is plugged in properly below:
Step 1. What does the power switch look like.
The power on/off switch and the hard drive activity and power-on LEDs are contained in a single module.
Step 2. Where is the power switch located?
The module is mounted behind the front wall of the chassis.
Step 3. How is the power switch fastened to the chassis?
3 hooks on the module fasten it to the chassis wall.
Step 4. Where is the power switch connected to the motherboard?
I hope this information helps to answer your question. Given the age of the computer HP no longer carries the power switch so if it needs to be replaced you will have to find a 3rd party distributor. An online search or possibly a local computer technician should be able to locate the part for your.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a wonderful day!

  • HP Compaq Presario 2500 circuit diagram or some constructive help

    Hello,
    i have a Compaq Presario 2500 that has no power. The laptop is totally dead. Everything happened after disassembling 
    and thermal paste changing. Previously the laptop had some heating issues, since this laptop is pretty old and was never
    opened and cleaned. I decided to disassemble it and perform a cleaning and thermal paste changement. The CPU was pulled out and sticking on the heatsink since the old compound was totally dried out and it literally glued it onto the heatsink. After reasembling laptop totally dead. After 10 minutes the battery charge led starts to lightning, but laptop will not turn on. I measured several points on the motherboard, and i was able to measure some voltage presence. Has somebody a circuit diagram ? 
    It is a rare motherboard that has no fuse near the DC Jack. I noticed only 2 fuses on the entire board.
    F1 has a sign p10 and is near the switch board port located, the other one is placed more near the DC Jack and is white colored and has a sign 2, which is standing for 2A ? Or am i wrong ?
    I don`t know further, has someone a suggestion or a circuit diagram ?
    The laptop has no real value, and i will not invest into a new motherboard, so i hope i will get some advices from you guys in order to get this laptop to work. Btw i tried another CPU too, but the laptop has the same condition with no changements.
    Here is the motherboard model :    DAKT9DMB6F1 KT9D
    Thanks in advance

  • Compaq Presario model SR5710F hangs/freezes when cpu cooling fan switches to higher speed

    Compaq Presario SR5710F with AMD Athlon X2 4450e dual core micro-processor - after the desktop has been on for a little while, I can hear the cpu cooling fan switch to a higher speed. As soon as the fan changes speed, the PC locks up. Power off/on is only option to recover. A precursory inspection did not reveal any noticeable build-up of dust/debris around case fan or cpu fan. Any suggestions?

    Hello DTCothren,
     You state whenever your CPU fan goes to a higher speed the computer locks up, is that corret? I will try to assist you with this issue.
    I would recommend you open up the hardware diagnostic tool on your computer, and run a full system test. This test does take some time so just allow it to run. If you not sure how to locate the program have a look at this document.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
    Thanks

  • Do I need to replace video graphic card or power supply unit on hp compaq presario sr2180nx

    hello all
    i saw a similar post over 4 years ago, however it doesn't address my issue.
    my pc started stalling when i attempt to turn it on.  It wouldn't come on. Then after several tries every now and then it would come on. I was told through searching that it could be the video graphic card or the power supply. Therefore once i had the computer back on.  I never shut it off. However, i could reboot and it would come on.
    Now it won't come on again. So i don't know what to replace. The video graphic card or the power supply.  If it is the graphic card, do i replace the one previously installed or add a new one. And if adding a new one, what is recommended to be compatible with my 300 watt supply unit? I'm lost as what route to take and how.Below are the details of my unit.
    HP/Compaq Presario SR2180NX desktop PC with a P5LP-LE motherboard with an Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 950.
    *Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
    300 watt supply.
    thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    Is there an add-in video card in the slot? If so, remove it and try to turn on. If the problem is the video card it will turn on. If not it is the power supply.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Compaq Presario cq50, power.

    A while ago, I had a problem with my laptop, caused by several updates. Suddenly, it stopped working, (battery was ruined), and I thought the power cord was the problem. So I bought a new one (according to the specifications of the previous one). And effectively, it worked. Nevertheless, after a few minutes, it shut down, and the light located next to the power cord entrance was blinking. I tried to turn it on again, but it was no use. The next day, I turned it on again, worked, and after a while shut down.
    I opened it, the fan was relatively clean, and everything looked normal. 
    What do I do?
    I could work without the battery before, so I do not think that's the problem.

    Hi @FermiEffect ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Compaq Presario 50 and issues with your AC adapter. What are the specs of the adapter you installed?
    Yours is 65-W  AC adapter and should not be a travel adapter.
    Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
    Here is a link to troubleshoot the Ac adapter.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    If you hold down the start button on the compaq presario 42 four about 3 seconds it should start the computer I don'tknow if it will solve your problem.

  • Compaq presario sr5404f power button

    Does anyone know where I can find a replacement power button for my compaq presario sr5404f case? The original button is broken.

    Power buttons rarely fail, but it can be replaced with a momentarily closed push button ( closed only when being pushed ).  Other than a physical break, what makes you ask?

  • Power Loss During Bootup of Compaq Presario SR1234NX

    My computer is a Compaq Presario SR1234NX running Windows XP Home. The problem is this - shortly after booting or even during booting I lose power to pretty much everything: keyboard, mouse, display. The power light stays on and fans continue to spin. 
    This is what I have tried:
    (a)  different power supply  
    (b)  different RAM
    (c)  unplugged internal HD and tried booting with a Linux LiveCD
    I was able to reinstall Windows XP Home (which took several reboots due to the power issues). I've come to the conclusion that it is the motherboard. 
    Any help, comments or advice would be welcome.

    Hi,
    You have already tried a lot of things that could cause issues as you have stated.
    Try a different electrical outlet and don't use a power strip.
    Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust.  You might want to buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink.   Remove any PCI cards and unplug any extra USB devices.  Plug your PC back in and give it a go.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-310SA Notebook PC Help

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-310SA Notebook PC that worked fine until recently . Now when i turn it on the power light comes on , i can hear the fans and HDD power up , but the screen remains blank . The only sign of problem is the led warning lights . They flash twice , then pause then flash twice again , they do this constantly until the machine is turned off. I have tried a hard reset , swapped/removed the memory modules , reseated the HDD , checked all cabling is properly seated , still nothing. Have tried to fix the Bios using the HP_Tools USB device and pressing Windows+B on switch on , this caused the machine to beep 3 times then switch off . 
    Am now scratching my head and wondered if anyone here has any further advice before i throw it in the bin .... i tried to connect to outside source (TV via HDMI) ... but just showed blue screen and out of range message on the TV ..
    HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    No, it does not have a modem as shown in its specs.
    If you wish, you can buy one of these

  • Hp Compaq Presario 2100 screen stays black, please help!

    My laptop, which is a HP Compaq Presario 2100, stopped working. I'll try to explain the best I can what's going on:
    When the laptop is plugged in and then turned on, all of the lights on it will turn on, all of them except for the power indicating light. The screen remains completely off, and it doesn't sound like the hard drive is running, just the fans. The CD drive and floppy drive both work. The weird part is that the things that do turn on only stay on for about 10-20 seconds and then everything shuts down. And no matter how long the laptop is plugged in the charge light never turns on and the battery in the laptop never gains any power. I can tell this because this particular battery comes out and has a manual indicator of power on its side.

    Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 and if that doesn't work, then make an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store to have the hardware checked.
