My compaq presario CQ60-220US won't turn on consistantly. Just no power to the on-off button. When I turn it off, it may or may not turn back on right away. Takes a day or so to finally respond to the on-off button. I can restart from the shutdown menu and I can put it to sleep but it won't come back on for a while if I close the case or manually turn it off. For no seeming rhyme nor reason, after many attempts it finally responds. Have run Kaspersky scans and check disk and all the maintanence programs that come with the system and they all seem ok. I use a pretty tight firewall and screens that come with Kaspersky.

Wow, no tests down with battery out.
battery is the #1 failure in all laptop made. and fails many ways.
the firewalls does not source power, forget that.
If fact the HDD removed the power systems work perfectly.

tests,
run with no battery, IT MUST, if not the line power pack is TOASTED.
runs with battery only, no, yes? (if charged)
is this hard, no.


try to know batteries can short.
when they short they can overload any charger chip and can the PC.
Batteries are week techology
no battery ever lasts as long as the PC or any of its other parts.
the fail
some can fail in 6 months time.
why wait, run with no battery, heck some do for years.
after learning to hate batteries.

I have 2 and is only for travel every year, i test them before for my trip for proper run times.
only that works, in the world of batteries.

SOURCE: Compaq Presario 1700 PC Notebook Problem gives me a screen windows will not strat because file is corrupted or missing file is \windows\system32\config\system

Is this XP?
Do you have the XP cd or the recovery cd's. This needs to be fixed by performing a Windows repair.
missing or corrupt: \windows\system32\config\system"means that the OS,XP, is missing an essential file to run.
Or it could mean that your hard drive is failing. Is the hard drive noisey?

SOURCE: Laptop screen turns white

You can put your laptop on top of a icepack, cause your Graphics card is probably getting to hot. Thats why your screen turns white(probably only when gaming).
It is likely one of your fans is broken

Compaq Presario F700 Won't Turn On

Assuming the unit is plugged in, this could be an issue with the power supply, or an issue where the cord connects to the laptop. If the power connector on the back of the laptop is secure / doesn't feel loose or damaged, you may want to simply get a replacement power supply from a local electronics store. Be sure to take the make and model information of the laptop and the power supply with you to the store.

Compaq Presario SR1123WM desktop won't turn on

Hello Kim.
When you press the power button, is there no life?
The PC may be set up for manual start instead of auto restart after power is restored.
Otherwise a surge may have blown the PSU.
Mine's not a Compaq but I'll research what the green light is.
Could be a modem....

My compaq 1725 computer moniter won't turn on when I press the power button. The actual desktop is on and seems fine but the monitor remains dark without even giving the orange light that it used to.

first check the power cable if its properly plugin, and check if ac to dc adaptor has a output power.
you can check it by using digital voltmeter or an analog multimeter, you can see the pin output in the back of the adaptor, it has positive and negative sign.
