Good luck
I would assume that your hard drive is spinning? If not your system will not boot because of a faulty or missing harddrive. Last known good config only works on the operating system and would not work during POST. Can you give a little more information please?

The Compaq's had faulty graphics video cards made by Nvidia. This is a known issue that you will see documented all over the internet. The guys athttp://www.generalsystemsconsulting.com fixed mine at a reasonable price $125.00 includes return shipping back to me.
