Hopefully our Computer Guru Larry Ng will be along soon.
As long as it wasn't oven hot, there should not be that much wrong with it. I have a couple of suggestions.
1. Take the hard drive out and put it into a powered external hard drive enclose that is compatible with your hard drive. Easiest solution, and your old computer SERIOUSLY needs upgrading. Then your Hard Drive contents will be visible on the computer you connect the USB lead to as a separate volume. You will have C:\ with the operating system on, D:\ will be the Optical DVD Drive and E:\ will be the contents of the Compaq.

2. XP is old and a Virus Magnet. You may be able to buy a Windows 7, possibly Win 8 upgrade CD, but usually you need the media disc for the OS already on the computer. Or you can buy a full version, which will allow you to upgrade anything.
3. One more thing you can try is tapping F8 as the computer is booting and see if you can see 'Start Computer with last known best Configuration.
4. Or you can take it to a local Independent computer shop and ask them to recover all your data from the hard drive to USB Memory Stick
As I said, just suggestion until Larry gets here. I am a minor Expert compared to him.
My compaq presari0 v5000 is in sleep mode and will not wake up
The problem's with the video card or the vga cord; the monitor is just reacting to no signal from the graphics card. Check that the pins aren't bent. If they are, you can possibly straighten them once. The second time, they may snap off.
Since the KB just flashes once, it could be the power supply, or the motherboard. If the motherboard has any caps that are swollen on top or leaking, you might need a new motherboard.

WHY DOES A RED LIGHT FLASH 4 TIMES THEN SHUTS OFF ON MY HP COMPAQ
Hi:
Here is what I would do...
Turn the PC off and unplug it. Then press the power button to drain any residual power from the motherboard.
1. Remove and reseat the memory module(s). Restart the PC.
2. If removing and reseating the memory module(s) doesn't work, if you have more than one memory module installed, remove all but one, and start the PC.
Test each memory module one at a time, until you find the one that is bad.
If none of that works, check for bulging and leaking capacitors on the motherboard. These may be particularly noticeable around the processor area.
How do I remove the hard drive from a Compaq Presario PC
To be specific we'll. Need the model. But if it's a desktop simply open the case. Make sure it is unplugged of course. Make sure you touch the metal case of the computer before you touch hard. Drive. This will discharge any static on you. They will be a 2 cables on the hard drive unplug them.
My compaq presario wontboot and when I hit F6 it says ******* opcode executed?
F6? Why are you... Never mind, get into your bios, which last I checked was not f6 and see if your HDD etc is okay. Check the CPU
too in the bios. If for some reason f6 is to get into the bios you have a brick. The board or CPU is done. Of course there could be some power issue or ram... Try reseating the ram and any and all power leads and see if that helps.
