How do i restat my laptop 610 compaq it has been stacked on touchpad?
restat?
stacked?
i have no idea these words? elaborate please .
tell what you do right and it does, wrong (a story)
my wild guess is the touch pad is failing
and no usb mouse attached,(hand held mouse)
that?
what OS is this , XP?
The mouse pad can be bad.
so can the mouse pad driver be corrupted , missing or wrong one installed.
start by telling the helper what OS,
click the (CP) control panel, click system'
the OS you run is presented to you there, in words.
windows what.
then CP (again, then click device manager)
under "Mice and other pointing devices."
see the mouse pad there, the driver there must not be
missing
or red or yellow marks ore UNKNOWN.
there are more tests and actions, but I stop here,
or get it repaired in a PC repair shop. (captain obvious sorry)

1801 - Microcode Patch Error
NO PC stated ,wow now that is hard , no? 1984 to 2018 PCs (1000s of types made !)compaq to 2013 ends.NO OS stated, windows, yes?, what windows, XP, vista ,what?seems to me, the BIOS barfs on your Processor.my guess is you changed mother boards, and used the wrong processor.? (or the reverse)learn that the BIOS must be able to recognize the processor in the POST process.(for sure lots of causes other)does it do that (laptop) with the main battery the huge heavy battery , that is now shorted and dead.?you post and not even say desk or laptop. wow.is it a Proliant Server? or Z600 with 2 non matching Xenon processors, gee, must I guess it all?>why not just post your service tag data.and say what OS is running, even windows servers.the HP manuals on your PC clearly state what processor on that exact model and P/N on the service tag.clear as day.as will the hp parts surfer.varies by country too. see this, if you answer all the questions there, bingo what yours had and what processor options are supported.on newer PC HP 10 years or less the BIOS update page also lists added processors under"details" there you go.

Compaq sr1902uk network adapter driver
thanks but............. and is and Obsolete PC. at HP and MS.
sr1902uk (England?)
- what OS? drivers match a OS, XP?
- sure some makers of mobo offer drivers that HP ended. sure.
- so does the unstated NIC chip maker offer drivers but not for all OS in most cases.
- The best way to work on old PC is run the PCI scanner(ask)
- identify the chip maker and model (ven=x dev=z)
- then we can get any driver, for any OS if the chip maker has one, and many dont. for newer OS. (and ther reverse)
- Finding drivers for old PC is not easy, (for me sure) but for most, it's very hard and the risk of getting virus high.!!
- ask how to do it, using the scanner , lacking HP support.
How to turn on keyboard backlit on Compaq CQ57 laptop?
CQ-nnnnn what is nnnnn , may Cq57 made, all different nnnnnn
QC-100,.-200.,300, 400, series
your service tag tells you the full model number.
nor the OS (unstated)
XP, VISTA, W7 or W8?
this is what was used for the full series of production runs.
and they are NOT THE SAME.
tell what BACKLIT means. LEDs dead but at least name ONE>?
Please tell the helper this.
what OS first.?
tell exactly what Backlits (lights) fail, name them.
caps lock or ? what? give examples of what fails and what you are attempting to do..
on my newer HP, there are no keyboard lamps at all
not one but the HP has back panel that glows for that.
but needs the HP software loaded to make that work
only HP software works on that feature, period.
what operating system is this.?
the CQ57-400 is the last series is this it. why must i guess?
support for it is limited to this.
ill guess 400 for you as 1 example
then ill guess w7 32b
then you see this and load all these driver.

now il guess 100
here
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/compaq-presario-cq57-100-notebook-pc-series/5059083
looks like last one made was 2012 (Compaq ended in 2013 at HP)
so has support until 2022. at HP.com
load all your drivers for you PC on the HP page.
skip BIOS. (line)
the problem here is HP used 2 processors here.
Intel
and AMD
mixing drivers up is problematic. here.
takes skills to do this.
why not ask at HP do this is.
real HP forums.... BINGO?

My Compaq laptop will not
This depends what version of Windows you are running, if you are running an older version, say Windows Vista, there is a known bug with the ISATAP Adapter, essentially it is an IPv6 protocol, and is not needed. It should have no impact on the operation of your wireless card and is completely fine to use with the yield sign. It may have been there for some time before you noticed. The connectivity is most likely unrelated. If there is a yield sign next to you wireless adapter i would recommend re-installing the driver. You will need to search google for the driver and re-install. Sometimes manufacturers will have drivers on their websites and you simply enter you laptop model and year and select wireless card. Other times you will have to do a thorough search on google. Dont download any program that will search your computer for missing drivers, they are a scam. Try searching for your model number and Compaq. If you cant find exact model number of your laptop, a general Compaq driver may work.
Can you still connect through wired ethernet cable? What do you mean by wont connect? Do you mean connect but there is no internet? Or you can see the wireless network but not connect? or you cant see any wireless networks at all? I have also run into issues where the saved network configuration is corrupted, and trying to join a network and enter the password is futile, even though I have previously joined and it is a trusted network. In this instance, I deleted all network settings and all saved configurations associated with this network and joined again from scratch, which rejoined first time.
