Top 20 HP Compaq Presario F750US Questions & Answers

Have you been to the Compaq/HP website to check your specific model for updated Windows 8 drivers? It's tough to know for sure...but "Base System Device" and "Coprocessor" are possibly parts of the motherboard chipset..and the SmartAudio 221 component is also likely built in to the motherboard. I would do a search on the HP/Compaq website, and possibly find the right drivers using their support tool...it may identify them based on your serial number. Make sure they have Windows 8 compatibility. If not, you may want to go back to 7 for a while until all the drivers can be updated for 8.

You'll spend more money trying to upgrade this laptop then it would cost to just buy a better used one on eBay. Probably even spend more that it would cost to buy a new low end computer. Save yourself the headaches and time and buy a NEW laptop.

Hello.The most common reasons for power issues are the battery, power jack and power adapter/cord.Power off and remove the battery. If the laptop powers on with just the adapter connected, your battery is faulty.If you move/wiggle the power adapter at the point where it connects to the laptop, and the power goes off and on, the power jack is the problem.The power jack is inside the laptop and either needs soldering or replacement. If a power jack problem, it should be addressed by someone knowledgeable.If no change, the power adapter is probably faulty and needs replacement.Hope this helps.

You can do these procedure to correct the problem , Start in safe mode press F8 during boot up of your computer and select the C> prompt. Use the following commands: bootrec.exe /fixmbr and then bootrec.exe /fixbootand hit enter.

But after doing that procedure and problem is still there you really need here a operating system dis to correct the problem or a recovery disc for your computer that you can request from the manufacturer.

Hi,

The motherboard of your laptop might have encountered a short circuit. If you've already removed and reseated all possible removable parts and still get the same result, purchase a replacement motherboard or check if it is still under warranty.

Good luck.

Hi,
Just go through the below website and do a scan from your system for the driver.

Please let me know if you are not able to find it.

you only reasonable option is to find a disc that (should have ) came with it.. you should be able to reinstall/upgrade vista with that disc (if you bought the laptop as a vista computer)

If your laptop is on and shutting down because it is over heating then you dont have much choice but to replace the fan. Which you can check this manual. Starting at page 71.

you can only do this with certain pc's

Press fn then F9 for locking and unlocking touchpads.

Also try to power cycle your battery.Unplug the power adapter, press and hold down power button for 30 secs. When it is already powered off, take the battery out, put the battery back. Then power the laptop on. This should also resolved the issue.

Thank you!
