Compaq Armada E500 Notebook - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How do i connect crw-785 to compaq armada e500
This e500 has USB1.0 and transfer rate will be slow. If you use Win 98 then install the USB driver (get on web) first. Install software then plug in the USB lead from the crw-785 and don't forget to plug in the DC adaptor for the drive, (e500 USB port does not have enough power to run external drives other than some older thumbdrives).

Various factors determine your Laptops speed. Processor type, amount of RAM, Graphics card and Hard disk drive. Simply swapping your hard disk to a solid state drive will triple the performance.
I try to unmute my volume on my compaq presario
Try updating the hardware driver for it.
Assuming that you are using some flavor of Windows, and guessing it might be XP ....
Right-clickie your My Computer and select the last item in the list, which is called Properties.
Select the Properties tab that is labeled Hardware.
On the Hardware tab, there is a button for Device Manager - click that one.
Look down the list for something called Sound and click the + beside it. In that list, there should be one named something like Integrated Audio. It may have some little symbol next to it, like an ! or perhaps a red X ....
Right-clickie the Integrated Audio (or whatever its called) and choose the option for Update Driver. Allow it to search for the driver Automatically when the Wizard opens up ... it will connect to the internet, find a suitable driver for you, and install it.
That should fix it.
If that does not fix it, you may have an actual hardware failure. If Sound is important enough, you may wish to have someone actually look at it for you.
What is Dry Boot of laptop and how to perform it?
Dry boot is a way to reset HP laptops. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Here is how to do it.
Disconnect the power cord, remove the battery, press and hold the power button for about a minute. Then re-insert the battery and power cord and try to turn it back on again.
If you are still having the same issue, remove the battery but leave the power cord and try to turn it on. Oh yeah, disconnect any USB devices and a monitor (if you connected a monitor to your laptop), make sure there is no disc in the drive either.
If this answers your question, I'd appreciate 4 thumbs. I do this for fun and do not get paid.

Computer wont start
Nothing is booting ......when in earnest I say that is the BIOS screen at the beginning not going too. When you say the lights all go but the computer does not BOOT can you clarify please what goes. Now you say the processor fan does not work I imagine you are INSIDE the unit to know this try pushing down on the CPU firmly with your hands it may have dislodged slightly it can do this sometimes.....Ive seen it happen.
Now for the not booting I need to know what is if any?.

What should be done if my hard drive has problems?
I'd like to see your old post as I think you may have been given wrong information.If the password shows up when you turn your laptop on, before loading windows, then it is one of 2 security options for laptops.The first is the bios set password.This is the password that will show before the "post" screen (google is your friend here, to see what a post screen is look on google images under "computer post screen")This is very hard to bypass as it's built in to a small chip on the motherboard and is designed to not be bypassed.it's not impossible but it will be very hard.The second is the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) password.This is set a different way and can be harder than the bios password to crack as it's designed to keep the data secure.I kind of need more info if I am to help you
