if you flip it over and remove the hard drive cover you will see the internal battery...that needs to be replaced if you are getting that warning.......if its getting hot it possibly needs to just be cleaned out (blown out), yet there is a overheating issue on various HP (Compaq) models where the video chip gets hot and the unit shuts down or has problems booting up

Is it very hot?

If so Tkae compressed air and blow it into all the vents on the computer. You are trying to loosen dust. Get it all loose possible near the vents then **** out all dust you cna with a vacuum cleaner.

This should stop the laptop from overheating and shutting down.

You will need to buy a new battery, there is no way old one will be OK. To see if it works, remove battery, and use wall adapter ONLY, PC should work fine. If not maybe Flat CMOS, replace, If replace and still NO go.must be bad motherboard (maybe try charge battery 5 hours left alone)

after rebooting my Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop the touch pad does not work and I have to use a plugged in a mouse
