Compaq Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Replace the capacitor.

It might be a connector cable between the mother board and the power supply has worked loose when the machine was moved. That blinking light appears to be on the power supply. While there might be other causes, I suspect the power supply needs to be replaced. You could take up considerable time and try to reseat everything and check all the connections and even put new thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink, but in the end, I suspect putting in a new (or used of the same type) power supply will be the fix. If the power supply has failed before damaging anything, that at least would be good news.

2006 PC (HP.coM) 16 years old.. ouch. XP (microsoft) is now a horrible virus magnet, and there is ZERO support now, are you using the last XP earth 2020??? gee google that. 2001 to 2007 was XP rein , vista 2007 I bet there are 1millons of web site still with XP usage .(old topics) google them. but Microsoft purged theirs. it is not sold at all, so how in the world can you get the installer on any pen drive, and XP installed from CD not pen.. worst of all XP installer, can not us 99% of all USB ports and then only half after the install (unless you force them via F6 and floppy drive with xp drivers on the floppy for THIS PC) to use any relic PCs run LINUX> not XP

I don't know if this is a sign of the times but ?????????? I'm sorry that you had to clean all of the blood out of the machine. You should replace all of the switches etc. You can buy used parts for these machines on Ebay really cheap now.

I hope that you do not have to work on any more machines filled with blood.

Question edited for clarity, and Maker name. Question moved from BBC Computers. BBC Weather and Quora and both secure and have an http*S* security certificate. My guess is that you have a third party security app, or worse, two of them, not understanding status or fighting with each other.

You need to find out what is compatible with your computer before you can look. I suggest googling what will work with whatever type of laptop you have then search for it on Newegg.com. I would like to go into more detail but the information you provided is below minimum.

Unfortunately a Service Repair Manual doesn't appear to exist. Apart from replacing batteries, the rest is one motherboard and a screen. https://www.google.com/search?q=compaq+ct101+tablet+service+manual ..
