20 Most Recent HP Compaq nc6320 Notebook - Page 8 Questions & Answers

HP/Compaq motherboards are system specific rather than industry standard. The only way to obtain a new motherboard is to contact HP/Compaq or an authorized HP/Compaq repair center. If you are interested in a used board you can check places like ebay and see if anyone has the board for your system available. Hope this helps.

Go into control panel and check under power options..you can control when your computer goes into sleep mode and when it doesn't...when it doesn't come back up it means it went into hibernation mode which an also be controlled under power options..the screen will stay dim if you are using battery power only..finally its not your screen that controls your screen its your video card..try those suggestions and let me know what your power options area set at..if they are set correctly then we can talk about a new video card..please rate this suggestion with 4 diamonds..

You'll have to contact HP Tech support, they'll tell you that you're going to need to either send the laptop in or find a local authorised service provider who can remove the password.

Here's their contact info:

Best of luck!

download the manual from the internet, it will give you all that information.

usually blue screen comes from unstable video memory or windows system or HD.
you may try
1) reinstall windows
2) change another HD to install windows
3) change new ram memory or change memories slot between one and another
if not fixed, to be sure your video memory damage which is insualted on board(separated with RAM), only the hardware repair can be fixed.

most case cause DC jack connection is not stable or damage
you may try
1) to open cover find out the DC jack 2 or 3 pins on the motherboard then to fix it use iron and flux.
2) check any disconnection DC/DC circuite near the jack
3) repleace the new jack if the jack damage

That is a possibility that it has a data protection. Try this http://www.ptdd.com/manual2.htm download the super FDisk and burn the ISO to a DVD. then boot off of it and delete all partitons on your HDD that way it will be erased so you can start over new. You might be able to do this on HPs boot disk too. Unfortunately you cannot update the HDD firmware after the drive has no OS on it. In this case you need an outside tool to totally erase the HDD so the install can see it again.

well..there is usually a set of screws holding that fan installed..check on that, and remove them, and be careful of the cable for power to fan..it's attached on a short cable to board.

remove, it..

vacuum it out..

replace it.

go to www.hp.com. Select drivers and download and download the Motherboard driver anfd the necessary driver desired by you.

Thanks

Hi Stacie,
press and hold the "blue" "fn" button (buttom left, second from left), as you press the F10 button and again untill you have the brightness you want.  But be avare, you use more power this way, whitch will result in shorter battery time.

you need a new xp pro disc. the reason the file failed to load was probably because there is a scratch or smuge on the disc.

if you can flash a new bios for it i think the password you have set will disappear, atleast it did that on my on my hp v6154

sound like you charger is broken, i think tose use the same charger as the compaq presarios, evo's if you can get a used 65 wat that problem would have been fixed, but those are still pretty new, i think you can get a new charger for free if it's still under warranty

Hi,

You need the Creative Soundblaster driver, mate:

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEYBOARD-and-MOUSE/OTHERS/HP-Compaq-nc6320-ADI-Audio-Driver-51001.shtml

Install that and reboot.
Let me know how you get on..

Ok, as long as the high security level has not been set in the bios then the following will work to reset / disable the bios password.
1. Remove the battery and mains adapter.
2. Remove the memory cover on the back of the laptop and remove the 2 keyboard screws.
3. Open the laptop and at the top of the keyboard you will see 4 sliding tabs. They are located between the 'Esc & F1 keys' 'F4 & F5 keys' 'F8 & F9 keys' and 'F12 & delete keys'. Slide these down and lift the keyboard up and pull forward slightly so as to disengauge the bottom lugs. Be carefull as there is a ribbon cable at the bottom that does not need to be tugged or removed.
4. You will now see at the bottom behind the keyboard a small battery connected to the motherboard. Gently pull the small white plug upwards untill it is removed from the board.
5. Wait 5 minutes and re-connect the small battery plug.
6. Re-install the keyboard and push back the clips. You do not need to replace the screws yet.
7. Apply the DC jack and power on - DO NOT INSTALL THE MAIN BATTERY.
8. Turn the laptop on while pressing f10 repeatedly but slowly - Do not hold it.
9. If high security is disabled you should now be in the setup screen, select 'Restore Defaults' and press F10 to save.
10. The password is now removed.

If this does not work then HP say that there is no other way to reset it. Im not sure about that, there probably is by some method of de-soldering the bios chip. However the above method worked for me so I hope it does for you. Please rate if you have any luck.
