My motherboard on my compaq f500 broke so i replaced it. Now the powercord will not work. The powercord was working fine before i replaced the motherboard. Any idea what is wrong now?

Replace the microphone.

remove the battery then try to plug the charger directly on your laptop without a battery.. to test if the battery is working properly. if not.. maybe your main board have a problem. just like athe compaq presario of my friend. also mainboard problem.

Hi, Thanks for using fixya.

When you connect it to wireless make sure you go into control panel / network view your connection right click on local area network connection choose disable then connect to your wireless connection. Right click your wireless icon by your clock choose connect to wireless network or view available local wireless connection.

first take battery and power out
then blow in vents with hair dryer warm air
put battery not power back in
turn on and wrap in towel
leave for 45 minutes
open back up and plug in power done!
i was shocked when this worked

If you sure that your Motherboard is gone and wont work at all, sorry to tell you that but you need a new Motherboard and a new laptop.

Have you looked in the Compaq site??

there are a lot of very tiny screws and nuts and connections that to my knowledge of working on them is, is if you do not have the knowledge without some supervision. do not attempt... it would be a costly venture.. if damage happened. but if you sre hell bent on doing it, ask someone who knows to show you how...good luck.. ps it is a good field to get into and at times frustrating. but, fun..

Yes it can be, buy a new wifi device and get in installed in your motherboard and don't use the onboard wifi device.

check internet provider settings...
check anti virus status..

Thanks

is your wireless assistant on ?
