Solaris 8 on Compaq laptop

Hello,
could you share your experience with Solaris 8 on Compaq laptops.
I am going to buy Armada M700 - is there any problems with Solaris on it ?
What network card do you recommend to use ?
Thanks,

Take a look at the HCL...this one is valid for S9 also.

Installing Solaris on Thinkpad 600 Laptop

I have installed Solaris 8 on my laptop which is an IBM Thinkpad 600. Unfortunately, I am unable to configure the X Windows as my graphics card (NeoMagic) does not seem to be recognized.
Has anyone got any thoughts on how to resolve this.
Furthermore, I also have a Compaq Pressario 1600 which has a similar problem (graphics card is a Trident).

I would check the HCL to see if any one has gotten the system installed on that board. ECS isn't known to be a good board for a lot reasons and you find out the reasons by searching.

Solaris 8 on Compaq Armada E500

Anyone install solaris 8 on Compaq Armada E500, I am having problems with the graphics card, ATI RAGE Mobility-P AGP card.
Is any of the other cards compatible with this system.

The first thing to do with a Compaq is make sure the latest and greatest rompaq has been applied to the board and all devices. Next, download and use the latest and greatest Solaris DCA diskette and use it for the install boot. I am making the assumption you are using the CD this time around. If that doesnt work, you will have to remove all but the bare minimun of hardware and try the install then add each device one by one. The DCA diskettes are updated regularly so thelatest one may solve the issue.

Sound in My HP Compaq Laptop

My compaq Laptop plays sound through the microphone jack i.e when I plug in my earpiece, brings sound, but when i remove the ear piece, no sound.
Please How can I rectify this problem, thanks.

Hi @Qd1 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I gather that you have sound when you connect head phones but not on the internal speakers.
When I checked Compaq Presario C700 CTO Notebook Software and Drivers, I noticed Windows 7 was not a supported Operating System. I am not sure if that is your exact model as you only provided the series.
As Windows 7 has not been tested on your notebook the outcome is unknown, however it may work just fine.

Compaq Laptop as monitor for a Mac Mini

I was wondering if it would be able to use a Compaq laptop as a monitor for a Mac Mini because I want to be able to easily switch between Mac and PC for as cheap as possible I would like to use the laptop as a monitor for the Mini.
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Richard,
Unless the Compaq has a video
i input
this is not possible. However, you can use VNC to control your mini from your Compaq. If this is an option for you depends on the intended use for your mini.

Solaris installation on amd64 laptop

Hi!
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000 with an amd64 processor).
The installation begins normally with GRUB. The problems I a experiencing start when I have the opportunity to choose between 'Solaris interactive', 'Custom jumpstart' and take place whatever is the choice I made with GRUB (Solaris, ttya or ttyb).
The screen becomes almost unreadable. Strange characters are displayed and many others are missing. It is also impossible to interact with the system using the keyboard. The only way to proceed is to wait to reach the timeout to select automatically the default option.
Moreover the installation freezes randomly, sometimes during the countdown (after which 'Solaris interactive' is chosen by default) or afterwards... But this always takes place at different times. Anyway I cannot read what is displayed on the screen.
Would you have any ideas?
Thank you very much!

The reason is simple why it's work on VirtualBox. In VBox, this software emulates a generic graphical chipset. In one phrase, we have the same chipset for each machine type.
Look if Solaris 10 can run with VESA driver and when not you can still share the chipset reference that you have and I can try to see if this is supported or not.

Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. Noise at HardDisk part

Why my sister's Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. huhuhu.. the sound come from HardDisk in that laptop.. its sound like the HDD reader scratched the Disc insde.. how can it be?? my sister scold me already couze she wanna use for her work..

Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX Little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop

Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX white light next to where you plug in the power cable keeps blinking. Never stops Blinking. Computer doesn't power on.
The DC jack is loose, took the laptop apart, pressed down on the dc jack to hold it in place, and stuck the power cable back in. Tried to wiggle the cable around to see if the jack is bad. But it feels pretty solid, it's just the housing holding the dc jack in place that's broken.
But I'm still getting the little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop. No system power.
Question is.
1. Is the DC power jack bad and needs to be replaced or.
2. There is a short in the motherboard and the motherboard needs to be replaced.
I have check all over the internet for what the white light blinking means. I've found no answer.
Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this computer?

I already encouted this problem yesterday and I want to share this information on how I was able to fix this issue where in the dc jack blinking repeatedly and the laptop wont turn on. This issue is resulted due to overheat so laptop automatically shutdown and results to some kind of hibernation.
1. First you need to dissamble your laptop (compaq cq60). To clean the exhaust fan. I cleaned it because it was very dirty. I used my laptop for almost five years. If you dont know how to dissamble your laptop, you can check the tutorial from youtube. Just be very careful.
2. After Removing all the parts you can use a brush to remove all the dust inside your laptop. After cleaning all the dirt inside the laptop you need to let the motherboard cool for 1 to 1.5 hrs.
3. When you put the dc jack dont put the battery. So once you plugged the DC jack you can see if the light beside the jack still blinking or steady.
4. Once the light is steady., you can now power on your laptop. and a message will appear that your laptop overheated.
5. You can use cooling fan to prevent from heating.
6. Clean the parts inside your laptop every half year. to remove dust that cause the exhaust fan not to work properly.
Now I was able to use my laptop again.
Best Regards to All!

I had ITunes on a Dell laptop. I copied it all to a Compaq laptop via external hard drive. The Dell is deauthorized. The Compaq is authorized. My IPod Classic will not Sync on the Compaq. I have transferred purchases, but "Sync" is greyed out.

I had ITunes on a Dell laptop. I copied it all to a Compaq laptop via external hard drive. The Dell is deauthorized. The Compaq is authorized. My IPod Classic will not Sync on the Compaq. I have transferred purchases, but "Sync" is greyed out. How can I get the IPod to sync with the Compaq?

If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This is the switch to enable automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below.
Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).

Compaq Laptop

Hi All,
I have been keeping my eyes open to see the Compaq laptop back in stock at my bestbuy (the Parma OH location, area code 44129). However, these haven't been in stock for a long time. my friend has this laptop and i've been checking since school start at the beginning of the month and they aren't in stock. I am looking in the under $450 range and need a laptop that has Vista Home Premium, and good enough specs to run Photoshop & a few games like Peggle Deluxe (NOT big games)
I would get the new Acer that's displayed, but it is only Single-Core and I hear that it's slow.
The Compaq would be perfect for my uses, and price range. Now the last few days it's showing as an outlet item...
Any details on more coming to the Parma OH store? or something very similar to it in my price range?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9375936&type=product&id=1218094582077
Thanks for the help! I know I can trust Best Buy!

If it is showing up as a outlet item them the stores will most likely not get anymore. The website says the BB located at Mayfield Road OH
<script></script>
1417 Golden Gate Blvd,
<script></script>
Mayfield Heights,
<script></script>
OH
<script></script>
44124 has them in stock.

My Compaq laptop will not restore back to Vista

So I had a Compaq laptop that I got back in 2008 with Vista preinstalled. In 2012, I decided to try out Windows 8 Consumer Preview to see how well it was compared to Vista. Unofrunately, 8 was less satisfying than Vista, and I recently tried to revert back to Vista using the system restore utility. I backed up all my software, and when I ran the system restore partition, it failed and gave me this error message.
Then when I boot the system, it gives me this message
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Compaq Laptop Clicking Noises

Hello,
I have a compaq laptop I do not know what make. I have had it for three years now and all of a sudden it is making ticking noises.
The noises appear to be coming from the speakers, it continues if i mute it and when i have headphones in the noise comes from the speakers still. The noise is constant, when you position the laptop in a new place it stops temporarily and then starts again.
The laptop often overheats and shuts itself down

Hi,
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
Regards,
DP-K
