Top 20 Compaq (233803-001) (233803001) KVM Switch - Page 6 Questions & Answers

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.

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

Try rebooting to see if that clears up the issue. Should. Does not mean it will not happen again if you repeat the operation that caused the BSOD. There is an issue with your OS and you might want to attempt a repair operation if possible

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.

no pc stated, maker or model #,, sounds kinda DESKTOP>????? no oS stated step one is test the MV4 on a known working pc,!!! why wait, this so basic.... are you using VGA to VGA or DVI to DVI connections?????? the DESKTOP, no sound means the fans are dead and PSU dead. The PSU will run for 1 second and fans run now. if not PSU is dead. if fans do run and stop that means PSU dead or mobo shorts or bad reg on MOBO. or bad ram. strip it down to test that. ok fan runs that means 12vdc good. if stay running, and if PSU stays up, then NEXT TEST IS Screen is it 100 % dead, or do you get text or logos." 100% dead means to me bad VGA card(or chip GPU) if the Hot key for BIOS fails, that means bad POWER/ or bad VIDEO card. the fans run but are silent, I envy you.. sell me your fans.... im 1/2 deaf from Vietnam and can still hear all my fans. my DT has 4 fans min. (it's Alien-ware box++++) CPU, GPU and PSU, and 1 case fan,all must work. do yours? when you power on a PSU, the fans run and stay running if that takes sides off so be it, ever clean the 5lbs of lent seen inside from 5 years, collected? If you dont service any pc, this packs up and the CPU overheats and shuts its self down by DESIGN. why no do that service first. see that CPU, see those fins, see that pack up there. blow it out, outdoors, using CAN-0-AIR mine over heats my GPU fast with lent, my Graphics car runs super hot and fast and lent is NOT ALLOWED here. ever.. old pcs with slow cpu ,, tend to packup slower, well lets say they can run longer with huge lent here. its just slug processor so... that is what it does. recap.

1. fans all run.
2. BIOS dead?
3. screen dead. no words no text at all.
4. MV4 tested on other PC works. proves PC bad.
5. LENT PACK job. as all do every year here, all.
6. Bad VGA caRD. or using wrong port if PC has 2 VGA jacks. !

what compaq use real models numbers clearly. panel sounds desktop like. ever heard of PC repair shop. we have 1.1 Bilion Computers. on earth now. guess what , vast numbers of shops with certified technicians every where, on earth, were there are people. is the screen dead, ? no text ever, and BIOS dead. if a desktop the PSU is dead.

why ask here, and not at hp. how odd that..... this is not HP its a public chat box. here is the correct place to ask, (for SURE) https://h30434.www3.hp.com/

Might be worth trying the device manager to see if a driver is lurking on the internet somewhere. If not it should be possible to update your sound card. Inserting a card into an expansion slot should switch off any integrated audio.

do it we watch..no PC stated , it as a full model name like Cq56-nnnnnnno OS statedthere 1st page in there web site clearly states and I quoteis this clear? (it runs on 64bit to ,naturally) Windows 8 and higher (32-bit version). took me 1second to lookhttps://www.whatsapp.com/download/

this is an english only forum. google translate works, try that? here. THE PENTIUM 4 PROCESSOR CAN BE CHANGED FOR A PENTIUM D PLATE (929 REV 0G S25 THE PC IS A COMPAQ DC 7100. I HAVE CHANGED THE PROCESSOR FOR ANOTHER FIRST OTHER PENTIUM 4 OF 3,200 GHZ BUT IT DOES NOT WORK WELL PROVE WITH A PENTIM D AND I WILL NOT AND NOTHING I HAVE TRIED TO PUT YOURSELF AND I REMEMBER THINGS TO RARE AND DO NOT START. why do that, what caused you to start playing with processors. you can NOT just throw in any processor you want the HP documents long gone now on this old old relic PC tells you what processors this PC supports. usually just a one class and just 5 or so in a class. if you google your PC you find these words : Intel 5 Series (Pentium 4) see that 5 there, only this series works and only those allowed by HP in that series work. no boot why not put the PC back as you found it. the post, why does not PC not boot and know its not the processor 99.99% of the time . step 1 is power, do you have full DC power out of you PSU 2 yes, does the monitor test out ok on other PC. 3: does the BIOS screens work. yes,yes and yes, means the HDD software is corrupted or or the HDD is dead. to test any HDD I use Knoppix live DVD to test it. i see this too there are 4 PCs with that model , the service tag shows p/n:: this code tells the helper what motherboard is there and what processors are used. ok i found the page that shows how to decode the p/n on service tag. old old lost book, see code 560 there, ? bingo. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/72042/Hp-Dc7100.html?page=4#manual

never post personal data here, please. country is great, I applaud you, me in texas. I used to work for Philips Semi. so... state side long ago, intel before that for 7 years. but we need the Service tag model to know what you have. or all answers are wrong,. in most cases. (oops me wrong) only XP (newest) asks for F6 floppy, time to upgrade to w7. for sure. i guess you missed all that bad news in UK with the XP virus taking down the hospitals there. sad to watch we are below 1% XP now in usa and falling like rock. (not counting USA MIL) ITS DOS 3. right? the date is set in BIOS, easy, (me wrong hard takes a setup prog) but the BIOS CMOS NVRAM coin cell battery must be good and it bet you %100 its not. over 5 years no, 7-10 never good. the only floppies are found used, disks and drives there is a USB loopy drive sold, that works. if usb ports are there and work. is said PC for personal use,or for CNC mill. usage is important, in all cases. some are used as toy other on the net, others only for Word 95. the PC has drivers at the HP site, i can link you but only with the red arrow data on the tag below. btw: we are not HP. DOS 3? 6? what os, windows 95/98/w2k/xp/vista/w7/8/10, freedos, o/s2/ XP was the last to ask F6 at install. is that it? F6 is for drivers. not supported THEN. omg, i even repaired those long long ago, thanks for the memories. suit case PC, http://www.oldcomputers.net/compaqiii.html running DOS ! 3? wow, why are you doing this for a museum? 12 whole megaherz then, and 640k of ram Gill Bates said was plenty . we ran WORD STAR THEN !

NO computer stated, make COmpaq,. no model vast sold all old. NO OS stated. wow, must we guess the moon ,stars and sky? HP owns Compaq, and compaq is mostly a dead product now and for support (free) why mess with relic iron and OS>? the newer PC's have hot key, F10 or F11 (changed at VISTA) its job is reload the OS, called HP restore. if those keys fail the hdd is not good.. HDD not Original not HP, hdd, with HDD restore partition on board. or HDD is bad.or someone corrupted these partitions. or someone loaded, MS OS on it. do not load Microsoft disks her. or was never there new, as was true on first compaq.(unstated by u) if the hdd is bad it its bad, the bios test is just toy, we have vastly better tests disk, endless topic, can take all day to test any HDD. the HP disk sets are not sold by HP but are 3rd party you can read just like me, look your disk by self https://restore.solutions/dv/laptop/compaq/ if the HDD is good, (may be not) there are only 2 pathes. HP install disks or hope F10 works, I cant read you book to you ,and would but you never once disclosed the service tag data. see this crude example that is a service tag. it tells the helper what you own.. HP will ask for serial #, as that also tells options I cant ever guess.

old COMPAQ day legaL ( they meant valid,) if you read the service manual, on you old PC. from HP it shows like 50 keyboard for 50 countries. this forum you are on is USA forum based in PR. of CALIF. the keys for USA characters are valid. not others. a to z and simple punctuation. and zero to 9 and such. this is called (IT-101) a character set. or caps if the mood suits you. please type a service related question SR2129UK running Vista my guess running Spanish keyboard? with accent keys, not valid. use only pure English keys. (UK keys ok) be advised, i've nerver see the UK version of this PC.

XP sure.we are not HP (compaq ) why not ask at HP forum real for 1000x better and faster answers, yah? the correct drivers were at HP support page, after 10 years,they drop support. XP is dead so Microsoft Plug in play is now dead.as is VISTA this year.if at wits end, I do this. (ask) how.what I do is use PCI scanner to learn what chips is there SOUND.then go to the makers site and get it from them, on legacy machinesthat is all you can do. You didnt buy the HP media kit so only this is found.ok you luck out today, its 2008 machine 1 more year and its gonehere is the VISTA sound/audio driver.https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/compaq-presario-v3700-notebook-pc-series/3629625/model/3636410why not look at HP first. ?

old Compaq (now HP) https://h30434.www3.hp.com/ first screen died, now wont boot, to external VGA monitors. Fn+F4, sure. the external command key. sure ok VISTA, first time any one tells what OS is there, wow. step one on all PCs lap or desk top is what, does the screen show any text at all? like Hit Esc to enter setup or BIOS> we first see of BIOS is alive. it not the PC is DEAD. zero text means DEAD PC> and NO BIOS means DEAD PC so out comes that old useless LT battery. useless as in , if its original its bad. most are. you skipped step 1 here, (battery out) and next fans work? and blow air, no lint packups. inside. learn that PC's go dead, with overheat, can happen fast. http://pcdied.com/black-screen.html#Laptop

C61 what it has a full name never use just the prefix 100,200,300 or 400, yes 4 generations. what OS< we can not ever guess Op.sys you run ever. I guess you meant WINDOWS PW????? not BIOS? hp can help best why ask here we are not HP, at all, just chat bs. my guess its XP, and is easy to hack. if you wanted you could google this, ever google. type," how to reset XP passwords" bingo, like 1million answers, from 17 long years of hacking that. we can hack them all up-to w81. not 10. the model 100 had VISA and w7 offered then, and now. if hacking is no fun (sure endless virus those places ) ask HP< they might help you. most do. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/
