Compaq Armada M700 Notebook Questions & Answers
I want to upgrade cpu
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.
CPU Upgrade ?Which Socket?
Whomever gave the 'clarifying information' has deleted it. Not Socket 370 eh? 'Anonymous' always knows best, and reading that website, I know who wrote it :>D Nice job. The question is from October 2007, so hopefully that old Pentium 3 is long gone to the great recycler in the sky!

CPU Upgrade Help Compaq M700
All M700 CPUs are SMT (Surface Mounted Technology) = soldered onboard. You have to replace the whole mobo if you wanna upgrade. Suggest you get the whole bottom piece from eBay - easiest way for upgrade!
The mobo also has a VR sub-board which I was told is different between PII->PIII 500mhz, PIII 600mhz -> PIII 750mhz, and PIII 800mhz-> PIII 1Ghz. So better replace the entire lower piece - lowerfixer.

162 system options not set.....what
There are several possibilities...but the most common is that it asks to press F1 to get into bios and set the basic system like date and hour...My advice if it asks this when you boot..is to press f1..than in the BIOS settings choose the optimal factory defaults .( cause that might be other parameters not set proper) and after that ..press F10 to save changes..and enter to confirm and exit ...after that set the date and time from windows cause it is much easier..
If this is not happening all the time ..follow it and see if it happens after you drain the battery and it is turning off when it is on accumulator ..this means that the BIOS battery is dead and every time it gets without any external power source it will basically act like when you flash the BIOS by jumping or removing the battery ...CHANGE bios battery cause is dead..
Activiton problem
Linux XP has had several reports of problems with activation. Your best bet would be to contact their technical support. Or switch to one of the completely FREE Linux distros. Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint linux, Dream Linux, Mandriva, Knoppix. Are just a few that offer the same simple install interface and hardware support.
Linux XP is a free linux distro that charges you for pre-installing applications like "Wine" that run windows based apps. Wine itself is also free and can be installed on any linux distro.
Hope this helps you out.

Grub loading stage 1.5.,Grub loading please wait,Then it say Error-18
Because Grub has to fit in a small space on the disk, there is no room for helpful error messages, but 'Error 18' translates as 'Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS'. In other words, your BIOS - which initializes hardware - is unable to handle a hard drive this large. Windows is able to boot because the Windows partition is at the start of the distro's disk, within the area handled by the BIOS. This is not a limitation of Linux, which hasn't even started to load, but your hardware. You would see the same problem if you tried to install two versions of Windows, say 98 and XP. There are a few ways to deal with this. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at

Advent 7016 (AKA Gericom Blockbuster 251S)main
It was the BATTERY all along !!!!! Incidentally the new battery bought mail order from China was no good as it would not boot-up the laptop. The curious thing was that if the laptop was booted-up using mains power, the Chinese battery would then last long enough to play an entire feature film and more! The "Tech Guys" test battery was also no good and the technicians at that well known computer store claimed that the laptop was faulty, WRONG! Eventually I bought a scrap laptop of a similar type with a view to swapping the power controller board. The scrap laptop happened to have a battery fitted so the "scrap" battery was tried. Voila! all came good! After THREE dud batteries (including the test battery at the computer store) the problem was solved. One can surmise that during the boot-up, computers take a heavy power draw. One can also surmise that the Lithium Ion batteries have current limiters built-in in order to prevent them from catching fire. If the current limiter is set too low the laptop will not boot. Those 2.8 GHz Pentium 4s were always renowned as hungry power-guzzlers and that was the problem. The sad thing was that once it was all fixed-up, defragged and memory maxed-out, it got stolen in a burglary. Shame as it was a really good machine. These days I ONLY buy crappy low powered computers as why donate an i5 or i7 machine to your local drug addicts?
