Presario R4000 battery is charging but the lightning bolt is not lit
When you first turn on the laptop, does the lightning bolt LED light up for a split second, even before Windows opens? That is a test that the LED is not burned out. If it does, then are you using the correct AC adapter that came with the laptop? Some look identical, but are not as powerful enough to run the computer correctly and you wouldn't necessarily notice a difference except something like the LED. How old it the battery and how long does it take to fully charge?
1. Reset the laptop by shutting down the laptop and unplugging from AC power;
2. Remove the battery;
3. With the computer unplugged and no battery, hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Remember no power on the computer at all for this step.
4. Replace the battery and plug it back in and turn on.
If that doesn't help, search the internet or HP's web site and update the BIOS for your specific system. Look for good directions for doing this and don't run the BIOS update from the internet, you should download the BIOS to your computer and then run it from there. The BIOS cannot be interrupted. If the BIOS is interrupted while installing, it WILL render your computer useless and you will have to replace the motherboard (extremely expensive).

Compaq CQ 62 fails to start and fails most tests does any one know what this error code means: 98AFM9-000759-XD003G-COC603 ?
I\'m guessing from the format that it was accompanied by a blue screen with white lettering? That\'s called the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), and it\'s not a very welcome sight among IT professionals...Sounds like your Operating system got a bit scrambled. Could be due to a failing hard drive, wildly fluctuating voltage, or good ol\' fashioned malware/viruses. In any case, I think you\'re approaching the "factory reset" event horizon.I would suggest a repair of the OS. The company that made your pc likely sent you an operating system restore disc or something similar, if they didn\'t they almost surely have one available. Tech support for that OEM should be able to walk you through the process of restoring your pc back to factory settings. WARNING: This will delete ALL data on the main system drive (C:). It is considered a last resort only. If that should fail, it\'s likely the hard drive is going bad. Any SATA mobile hard drive should fit the bill, they\'re quite simple to replace too.
How can you solve my printing problem ?
In your printer settings change the page orientation to landscape from portrait, or if that is no the cause, the size of the area you need to be printed. For example, if it is in Excel ,sometimes the areas to the right print on another page if you have it set to landscape. Otherwise, in portrait they simply disappear.
