20 Most Recent HP Compaq nc6320 Notebook Questions & Answers

Stephane, I ran into the same problem after wiping out my Compaq nc6320 and trying to install XP Pro. The fix is to disable SATA Native mode. To do this: Enter F10 Setup then System Configuration>Device Configurations>SATA Native Mode and disable it, save the changes and now you should be able to install XP Pro. Remember, when I did this the drive was blank, I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Best of luck! Bryan P.S. If you want to enable SATA native mode after you have installed XP Pro check out this link: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1042050&admit=-682735245+1161793137260+28353475

Remove you battery and disconnect power supply. Press power on a couple of times. reconnect power supply but leave out battery. Press power on. Hopefully machine will boot now.

Loudness Equalization : on

Equalizer: Choose one (Jazz seems to be loudest setting but sounds of hallway effect so I use powerful for clarity.)

This has more than doubled the level of volume on my acer 5570.

Download the HP Format Tool and install it. Get your boot disk or the downloadable files and copy/extract them to a folder on your HD. Make sure anything on your USB Drive is backed up because we are going to format it...

Open the HP Format Tool

It should automatically select your USB Drive.
Select FAT or FAT32 Under File System.
Select Create a DOS startup disk
Select using DOS system files located at and point to the folder containing the boot disk files.

i have a Compaq nc6320 when i plug in the power cord the electricity led doesn't want to turn on i have changed the cords and the adapters and i doesn't power on or even charge the battery, did any one have an idea what to do in this problem?

Make sure that the internal fan is cycling or working. if this fan is not running, it will allow the laptop to reach unsafe temperatures that will damage the circuitry over time.

Replace the cooling fans if they are not functioning.

Go to control panel, click Pen and Touch to enable or disable the Pen and Touch.

Go into CMOS config, and see if the usb device can be added to the sequence, save cmos, cold start with usb in machine.

Most PCs will not boot usb, unless the CMOS setup configure supports that device as a boot choice on cold start. F10 or does allow whatever key strokes needed before windows logo, will get you into CMOS config. Then look for boot, sequence and see if the usb is an option, if not, no hope for usb boot. If CMOS config does allow usb boot AND your usb device has been set up to be a boot device,(and you saved the cmos changes) with the proper files... shut dow, put in usb and cold start.... save

For any laptops, if it shows a blank screen, all persons including you can do some 'first aids'.
First Aid A:
1) Remove the battery and AC adapter.
2) Press and hold on the power button for one minute and then release.
3) Connect the AC adaptor and switch on the system.
If it doesn't solve the problem, try 'First Aid B'.
First Aid B:
1) Remove the battery and AC adapter.
2) Locate the RAM module. It is usually at the back side of the system under a removable lid.There are one or two screws for it. Remove the screw and take the lid. Then you can see the module.
3) Pull the arms of the holder of the RAM gently outward and take the RAM out.
3) Insert it back by holding it at an angle of 45 degree from the motherboard surface.
4) Connect the AC adapter.
5) Switch on the system.
If it doesn't solve the problem, try 'First Aid C'.
First Aid C:
1) Replace the RAM module with a known good one as expained in 'first Aid B'.
2) Swich on the system.
3) If it fails to vew the display, connect an external display.
4) Turn on the external display by pressing the Fn and F8/LCD/CRT keys.
If all these things are failed, then it is a motherboard problem or due to a currepeted BIOS. Contact a service personel.
If this document is helpful or not to you anyway make a comment.
If you are a laptop technician I can further help you contact me.
Good luck!

Does the computer complete a POST test? In other words do you see the HP/Compaq logo when you first power on the computer? If not then you have a hardware problem, most probable the motherboard. If you see it, then you can try to restore the operating system either with a recovery disc provided by HP or possible a recovery partition. Note the menu options when you power on the computer F10 or F11 is typically to start the recovery process if available.

Hi Adel, I am afraid there is no way still to retrieve BIOS password but you may want to contact HP Support to check if they have ways to check that for you. Usually for the case you have it is replace MOBO already. Please check the number on the link below base on your location. Contact HP Phone Assist HP Official Site
