troubleshoot problems with a compaq presario sr1603wm
whenever i turn on the computer the mouse, keyboard, and the monitor doesnt turn on. but the weird part is that when i use the 2-port usb KWM switch and switch them over to my other pc unit they work just fine. to make things worse my external hard drive, and the net card are showing that they have power going through them. im totatally lost cause i cant even get into dos, bios, or the start up screen. other monitors, keyboards, mouses dont work either. can you help me

i`ve narrowed down to1 thing wich may overheats my laptop:
The video card NVIDIA GeForce G103M might be the problem. i hear it has a kind of organic material , like glue, or other things wich keeps it togheter. this organic materials are not ment to resist to heat, wich makes them weaker. The temperature rises very quick, and the laptop performace goes down, when i start games or other video applications. so it must be the NVIDIA GeForce G103M. still whaiting for advice, or an ideea. thanks.

Battery problems with Hp Compaq CQ60

So I inherited my sisters HP comapaq cq60 307-SA so that i have a laptop to take to university, but it has a lot of issues when it comes to battery.
Sometimes the battery works fine, I charge it to 100%, and leave it to discharge, which it seems to do normally. However sometimes, even after a few minutes, the battery completely cuts out at any charge. When I plug into AC and turn the laptop back on, it will say 0% avaliable (plugged in, not charging), despite how much charge it had before cutting out. If I try a few times, the battery will eventually start to charge, but then the cycle begins again.
Please help, I have tried replacing both the battery and the charger, costing a lot of money, and they both still malfunction. Thanks

Hi,
Try this if you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista - you will need some charge in the battery.
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter unplugged, 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 PC 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. Shutdown 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.
Regards,
DP-K

Would this hard drive be compatible with a Compaq Presario CQ50-115NR?

I'm wondering if this hard drive would fit in and be compatible with my laptop:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=684
I'm not sure if this 12mm, 2.5 inch drive would fit in it or be compatible with it. I plan to purchase this one if it is indeed compatible and will fit.
Otherwise, if not, then can someone recommend another internal 750 GB SATA 3 Gb/s 8 MB Cache 5200 or 5400 hard drive for me that is just as good quality as Western Digital? Must be compatible and fit.
Thanks and much appreciation in advance.

Hmm... Can no one help?

Compaq presario problems with vista

Hello, I am having major problems with our compaq presario sr5233wn desktop, os windows vista home premium. It started shutting down about ten days ago randomly, then started with a blue screenthat has displayed different messages... I have completed 6 different restore points and this didn't work... I then backed up my personal files and performed a complete system recovery installed on the pc...it worked great for about half an hour then the freaded blue screen popped up and I had to shut it down...i did this three times to no avail...then I did a complete recovery from the two discs I made shortly after purchase...that has not worked either...does anyone out there have a fix for this..I need my ole puter.
Thanks Elmer

Hi Elmer,
Sounds like the first thing you need to do is test for a hardware failure. Check out Testing for Hardware Problems Using Hardware Diagnostic Tools (Windows Vista) and since it sounds like you are having problems running Windows for very long, skip to the bottom to the section called Using Hardware Diagnostic Tools when Windows does not open. Run the tests and report back what you find, if anything fails then there is probably a hardware component that needs replaced, possible culprits include the memory or the hard drive based on the symptoms you are describing. If everything passes, post that back as well, and let us know, and we can look for other causes of your problems.
Good Luck!

No bootable disk problem on Compaq Presario CQ42

Hi,
I recently ran into a problem with my Compaq Presario CQ42-117TX laptop. I had a few regular updates installed and when I tried to restart the laptop to complete the update, it booted for a longer period then usual before flashing a blue screen for a second then blacking out.
When I restarted it again, it said there was no hard drive detected. I ran a BIOS system check and it couldn't run a quick test on the hard disk. When I try to turn it on normally, it goes to a black screen with a few details on the hardware inside and the last line reading 'No bootable disk -- insert boot disk and press any key'.
Any form of help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Compaq Presario CQ50-110US Laptop

I have the same mother board problem with my Compaq Presario CQ50-110US Laptop. HP's Customer Service is very disappointing.
My laptop is 1.5 years old, 6 months out of warranty. My first call to HP was unfortunately useless. Told too bad. Motherboard is about $400 to replace. I emailed customer service asking for help with the situation. I asked if they would split the cost of the repair with me, or offer me a discount to purchase a new one. My case was supposed to be escalated to a Case Manager that would contact me with a few days. After 5 days, I re-emailed because I had not been contacted. It took a full week before a Case Manager called me. Again, nothing they can do.
Despite the fact that the sticker on my laptop says, "Built to Last", I found their responses very disappointing. I asked if there was anything they would do to "keep me as a customer?" Again, they will do nothing.
I explained also that I will be buying a new laptop, a new computer for my current business and another computer system with in the next 6 months for another new business. In addition, my brother-in-law had bought the same lap top as mine based on my recommendation. Again, nothing..no response or no help.
Since HP is not willing to make any attempt at all to keep my as a customer, I will be purchasing a new lap top very soon made by DELL. I will also not buy any more HP Products for personal or business use. This is not based on my defective lap top, but on HP's poor customer service and willingness to keep a customer.
My case # was 7501314351

connect an external display to test the video . Power it up and see what it does.
Consider performing a hard reset.
Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
press the power button
regards,
erico

Compaq Presario CQ61-424SA Laptop - eSATA/USB combo port does not allow eSATA connection

Hi,
I recently purchased an external HDD with eSATA connection for use with my Compaq Presario CQ61-424SA laptop.
The specification on the laptop states it has a eSATA/USB combo port however there doesn't appear to be one. On closer inspection there is 2 USB ports on the right hand side of the laptop (which work fine with USB devices) and one on the left which is slightly wider than the other 2 (which also works fine with USB devices). However when trying to connect an eSATA cable to the port it does not fit and on closer inspection it does not look like the conventional eSATA/USB combo ports.
Does anyone know if this laptop was spec'd incorrectly or does indeed have an eSATA/USB combo port.
The cable I'm using was supplied with the external HDD I brought with connections as shown in this link.. http://www.comesource.com/storeweb/images/cable%20esata%20to%20esata.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am having the same problem with the "e-sata/usb shared port" , which does not look like a normal e-sata port, and the e-sata connector won't fit in it.
Can anybody help us?

Compaq Presario CQ5110F Monitor Flickers Intermittingly-Help?!?

Hi,
We purchased this hp computer with the Compaq Presario CQ511 monitor. We took it back to the Office Depot to load up a brand new 2009 driver for the monitor to fix the flickering. The flickering still continues. The flickering begins after the computer warms up. Windows Vista is the operating system on the computer.
What seems to be the problem? Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance, Karen

Karen, be sure to move any electrical devices as far from the monitor as possible. This can cause it to flicker. Check the cables to assure that the connections are secure. Set the "Refresh rate" to the highest setting available for the "Resolution" that you are using.

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
