Do you get any error message? Or does it boot in loop? please post more details so we can provide specific troubleshooting.

best thing to do if you can get one is a propper install disk and then follow these instructions..


1. Start the Recovery Console. If you do not have the Recovery Console installed, start it from the Windows Xp compact disc (CD). To do this, follow these steps:

a. Insert the Windows XP CD and restart the computer. If prompted, select any options required to boot from the CD.

b. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the repair or recover option by pressing R.

c. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access from the recovery console.

d. When prompted, type the Administrator password.

2. At the command prompt, type "cd \" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

3. Type "ren ntldr ntldr.old" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

4. Type "map" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

5. Note the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD. It is displayed in a format similar to the following: D: \Device\CdRom0

6. Type "expand <drive>\i386\ntldr._" (without the quotation marks) (where <drive> is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD), and then press ENTER. For example:

Expand d:\i386\ntldr._ <ENTER>

Note the underscore character after the "."

The following message appears: ntldr, 1 file(s) expanded.

7. Type "exit" (without the quotation marks). The computer restarts.

8. Remove the Windows XP CD and start the computer normally.

This can work if you have recovery partition:

Lets check & see if your hard drive is still bootable before doing anything else. As soon as you turn on the PC start pressing the F8 key every 2 seconds on the keyboard. A Boot menue will come up. Choose your hard drive by moving the up or down arrow keys. than press enter. You should see other bootable devices like, Floppy (if you have one connected), CDROM & Hard drive. Still stuck with the blinking line? Every computer uses a differant F key to enter the Bios. Your's can be F1, F10 or F12. Just like the you did with the F8 key restart & try each untill you enter the Bios. It will help you a bunch if you have your manual that came with the PC. When you get into the Bios it will load at the main menue. You'll know this because you can set your time in this window. You will not be able to use your mouse just your keyboard. At the bottom of the screen is instructions on how to move around in the Bios. In this Main screen your looking for your hard drive. It should be listed somethink like IDE Primary Master and its nameed like "ST3250NV". Thats an exzample name. Your will be differant. Listed under the primary Master will be Primary Slave. Under that will be Secondary Master than Secondary Slave. One of the Secondary devices will list your CDROM. If you do not see anything listed for the Primary Master than your drive is faulty. The link below shows what is inside of your Presario 4090US.

Is is probably too old to take Win 10. Also, USB support normally starts once Windows is loaded. During Boot up, it looking for a hard drive or Bootable CD Media. By default, the notebook can start only from a bootable hard drive or bootable drive medium in the notebook. https://www.google.com/search?q=Compaq+evo+n115+boot+from+usb It is 21 years old!!

Windows 7 should be the OS. If you go to safe mode, it should complete booting and then you can list the errors but I suspect there is a driver error. Maybe the wrong version in there.

Hopefully it will still work with a new battery and power supply to charge it. They were quite reasonable back in 2008. Win7 software (no longer supported) and fairly fast.

Computer is probably too old to recognize an SSD. You may be able to find a firmware upgrade. Did you boot into the BIOS and try and find the SSD? https://www.google.com/search?q=Compaq+presario+c500+dos+not+detect+ssd+hard+drive ..

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.
