(if im wrong we do a guinness world records interview) lol so remove it and see if it works now. step 2 is the screen, all old PCs 2010 or older (most then all) have CCFL lamps that all died long ago and the screen is black forever now, all do that every one. if USED every day. if the screen never shows text ever ? then the back lamp is dead. (battery out, AC pack connected) yes> black.> then we do the flash light test next, if you see data now, then the CCFL are dead. 99% tubes bad or 1% inverter that runs them dead. in 2010 this ended with LED, your PC is NOT LED. http://pcdied.com/monitors.html#flashlighttest if the flash light test fails, NO DATA there. then 2007 PC had the solderball from H3LL failures. GPU grapics chip from Nvidia are bad. the kiss of ***** here the fix is 10x more that the PC is worth. value dead is $5 this old. http://pcdied.com/monitors.html#solderball_hell and for sure a new coin cell most are dead at 11 years. and can cause all the above. read page 44, its childs play fix. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295900

thats the silly hp loop back deal (and has the F11 key active) omg its old . 2008 but HP supports it. even on w7 (facts) good luck with VISTA Microsoft shut down all support on VISTA, you do know that and what that means, right? cq50-104ca if the PC will not boot, it resets over and over (reboots) it just means the OS is dead, nothing more. that means the HDD is bad, in some cases:

• HDD bad, test it?
• do the recovery? do startup file fixes?
• do full recovery.
• Upgrade to w7 like you should have done back jan2017?
• ever seem you service book yet, its free, see F11 now.
• read F11, in the book for full recovery
• if the HDD is bad (or was) F11 too will be missing, gone!
• if F11 is gone, then only new install disks work, fresh.
• or from ISO to USB mem stick installed. if HDD is ok.

now the book you cant find. and was there all along, at real HP why ask fixya and not HP forum? the book is here. open it,press Ctrl+F(find) and find F11 and thar she be, HP magical F11. (seen 2006 to NOW) http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01572022

NO PC stated, 1984 to 2017, 10,000 models, stated.NO OS stated, XP what? must we guess the OS?no posted photos, of ugly screens presented by you.why do that? leave out the #3 most important fact.s michean, = machine, say "PC runs great, "no PC stated, no OS stated but it runs great but colors not.Compaq monitor TFT-5000 ccflvery very old monitor. 4:3 square screen old.15 inches sized (tiny)18 years old in fact, in dog years that be 126 years old,(lol)in all cases of all PCs made ever,there can be many causes, no need to guess or for me to list them ALL.but here is the MACRO view (from afar)Did it fail plugged in to ANOTHER GOOD PCno, didnt fail, then,...1: The PC graphic chip is overheated. ever clean unstated2: PC has CPU oveheating3: PC has power supply problems, causing chip to malf.4: PC video card bad, or if laptop GPU chip problems.5: PC has corrupted or wrong or virus infected Video drivers.end.anyone else with same problem would do tests or through it away, if bad, its has $0 zero dollar street value like this. ever consider upgrading, to something 2010 or newer. ?a REAL LED LCD screen. (11 years newer?????)your screen has CCFL lamps that turn yellow old, and then go dead. yellow make white look yellow.see?

Hit F2 or Delete during boot up and check the HDD configuration. If the drive is not shown it may be faulty.

WOW ! NO OS STATE AT ALL, is this the virus magnet XP?or Vista. Circa 2005 , 12 long years old.... no spring chicken this... not at all. most are in the land fill or sent to 3rd world as punishment...LOL. best place to send is N.Korea this PC. V5000 , ok that is first what is it. WIFI yes, the pain of wifi, I use it as backup only, and only on CELL phones at home. we run gigalan at home and huge media server, runs rock solid. but wifi is a complex topic,not something that leads its self to text box, at all. Router fine means other PC and cells all connect and work. so its a PC issues. only only THIS PC. but WAIT , (that comment on newer) my guess is the router is wisely set to WPA1 /2 encrpytion (ONLY) and then you bop in with a old Laptop hat is only WEP only or set to that only. wep is not secure, so we dont use that TODAY. ever. my wild guess, 2005 with XP right,? the 3 years now dead OS, that HP nor MS support. at all and known virus magnet, and over 700 exploits, (many not fixed) facts, that. for my next trick I will attempt to find what cards for wlan is there. you never said, so will assume it's HP part, day one part. not modified, as all can be.. see photo below for 1 matchup. as you saw that XP wireless agent cant see your routers broad cast, so that means , my guess is the your settings are wrong. or wrong driver loaded. (or bad card below) if the router is set to WPA only and your agent (client app) is set to WEP it can't see the WPA router. and for sure never connect . why not look in your router first, see how its setup ?t. mine is set to wpa+ (1 or 2) but I could set it to accept WEP+WPA/1/2/ but id never do that. ever, i run wpa only. for security max. so set your client to what you have your router set to. it is that simple if drivers good. and XP not infected as ALL ARE. this is what came new on it. (varies by exact model pc no t stated) it does wep. and wpa BCM94311mcgp , knowing what is there , IS EVERYTHING. MY GUESS , WRONG XP DRIVER LOADED OR CORRuPUTED.

ask real HP this yet, only then can help. we are not HP, but the below is. ask there. and make this more easy. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/

Cannot be done since the cmos does not have a boot option from a usb device. Need a bootable cd in lieu.

You need to change the user name and password from your grandson to new ones for you.

all that to say the built in keyboard is dead.? please tell what it does and does, not do... lets stick to simple first. notepad wins SIMPLE hands down.! try usb standard keyboard yet? it must work . this helps prove what's failing, i take it a mouse works USB and then built in pad right? if not the OS is corrupted. or the run box. you click start button, and then click run or search and the keyboard is dead. i think there is switch for turning on the screen keyboard (virtual ) that may be turned on, but you'd see that clear as day on the screen. so in effect there are 3 keyboad. the screen keyboard. the main kbd and a desktop usb keyboard. which work and not, tell the reason, why. if all were dead,then the OS is corrupted.

old compaq. LAPTOP,, 14 years old now, Im amazed it even glows at all with CCFL lamps not dead, wow.. its like a musiem piece. (sorry , grin) (back ground lamps CCFL) NO OS stated by you , XP, ????? why must helpers beg? and wifi , (difficult that) it's not wifi, its just that you use wifi most the time ,SEE? right? in fact we could remove the wifi module. and prove that. disabling wifi is airplane mode, (todays jargon) but means the wifi transmitter is now OFF (airplane safe is THAT) the blue screens tell a lot, and no posted photo of one by you. sad, BSODs we call those blue screens of ***** XP love to do that. (even with Bill Gates on stage) LOL BSOD are hard. Im sure it says 2 words, HALT and DUMP ! here is a list of causes.... for sure 14year old relics (legacy junk)

1. the main battery inside is bad or shorted, remove it run AC , does it, wow, it does, problem solved in minutes flat.
2. the Inverter is shorted (CCFL card) and bom, BSOD
3. bad RAM, BSOD XP fast , try 1 stick at a time.
4. Bad HDD< can corrupte files and XP BSODS in a blink !
5. any thing shorted, remove all usb devices yet?
6. remove extra ram. , unplug CD drive?

all techs know rule 1, is it hardware or software, (this is alway first after #1 above done) to do that we open the CD tray, insert our free LIVE LINUX CD and boot to linux wow it runs for hours ok, proving what, HARDWARE IS BAD if Linux fails its bad hardware (running period correct disk) if linux runs i next do a full HDD test, using the great linux program there to do that. or take that handy dandy, Compac (now HP) 3 disk install disks set and load disk one, does that run? ok even full restore. or does it show HDD errors.? oops HDD is bad. the BSODs are really what. it means the PC attempted to run and ******* instruction. in simple terms, it means a program is corrupted. or tried to do ******* things with memory. that is why test test the PC with a boot CD to see if the PC is ok. see? mr wifi real. sure this can short, but if it is removed and it still BSODs its not this card, its other cards, shorted. or not at all. cards. we call this mini-PCI slot card.
