The cables you need will depend on the display ports available on your computer and those available on your tv. I would guess you could connect them with a VGA to SCART cable.

Hi jerryboeck...

Try this solution to your problem.

1. Keep pressing "F1,F2 or F8" as the laptop computer starts.(Depending on your computer)

Hello
You need to seperate the ram sticks.Im assuming you have 4 slots.Color coded.Say 2 blue 2 white.
So 1 stick goes in white slot and the other goes in blue slot.

Or if you have 2 slots and while using both ram sticks you still can not boot up.This is beacause one of the sticks is different then the other.Read the ifno on the sticks.Something is not the same.

Hi,

It is not the outer case only, the HP/ Compaq laptops outer case is very thin fiber, from inside you've a metal hinge and bar holding it. You can take it to a local store to get it repaired. I would suggest if you have HP Accidental Damage Protection (ADP), you should call HP. They will replace or repair all accidental damages.

HP COMPAQ Presario SR5510F this is the model number for a desktop. There is no way to fix this problem unless you can provide more acurate information both to the problem, and the correct machine that it applies to.`

Assuming it powers on - since it sounds like you can open and close.. check 2 things - 1. run set up - press F1 while booting up for most pc... make sure your dvd drive is detected. if yes, 2 open case and make sure the data cable is connected on drive and the board.

this is problem with VGA connectors pins if that is soled properly then the cable of monitor is damaged and need replacement.
if you check cable is fine then replace the Colore IC of monitor

When a PC is turned on and then starts beeping, the beeps are actually a message to help troubleshoot. You should listen to the beeps and learn what the pattern is. With that pattern, you may be able to determine the issue.

HP has published a list of these beep codes that are common to many of their system. That information can be found at this link > HP/Compaq Beep Codes

Every single standard IDE unit, you can find one in every computer shops for less than $30.

If you browse HP.com all the drivers and BIOS updates are there.
Hope that helps.

There are several reasons why a computer will lock up. You can view the HP help file HERE for your computer. You can also view the beep codes for your computer (yes, those noises mean something :D ) HERE. The instructions are step by step for your machine and should be fairly easy to follow.

Good Luck

Posible over heating issue, (issue with the fan, processor or heatsink)
>Overheating triggers auto-shutdown to protect the CPU
>Memory module going bad;
>Power supply going bad.

Computer usually shuts down if it is over heating so it won't melt down. There is a command on how to disable the auto shut down but it may affect your computer badly.

I would suggest to reformat your computer first before dealing with the hardware issue to avoid part replacement.

Hi

Most dvds wont play though WMP you have to download a CODEC these can be found on the net easily and free. Try This!

You can access these settings from the control panel. Following pictures will give you the idea what to do:






Make sure that the Classic View is enabled. The printscreens are from Vista but equally valid for XP and Windows 7; only user interface is different.

If your system came with preinstalled utility for power management, you can use it instead to set power options. For more information refer to the user manual for this system which can be found here.

Off the bat it sounds like a bad power supply, even if it is a new one.
Even though it's a new power supply, you can buy a dud sometimes.

Could be that there are Electrolytic Capacitors on the motherboard, that have dried up inside, and will show no obvious visual signs of failure.

Let's go back to basics, and get that power supply to fire up first.

1) Once, with no power cables of the power supply attached to anything.
2) Then after this test, power cables are attached to the motherboard, and all the other hardware components.

Will advise right now, that just because the power supply may come on, without the power cables attached, it does Not mean the power supply is good. The power supply may have one, or more weak voltage power rails.

No offense meant of any kind, but if it's a cheap power supply, the chances of it being a dud straight out of the box, are great.
Cheap Electrolytic Capacitors are used, (among other cheap components, and gauge of wiring), and these have a high failure rate. They break down just from sitting.

You may want to buy an economical power supply tester, ($12), to test the power supply, unless you have a multimeter available. I can walk you through testing with it.

This is an example. It is not an advertisement for said manufacturer, nor website,

Basic information for the above power supply tester,

http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=246

To turn the power supply on without it being hooked up to the motherboard, you have to use a jumper wire to turn the Soft Power On.

I will detail this method out, after you have replied to the bottom of this solution's question.

We can do the two tests above without the power supply tester, or multimeter, But,

IF, the power supply fires up without having any power cables plugged in, we go to having the power cables plugged in, and using the jumper wire method.

IF, the computer does not start up with the power cables plugged in, and using the jumper wire method, we need the power supply tester, or a multimeter.

IF, the computer fires up with the power cables plugged in, and using the jumper wire, you need to replace the Power On switch.

Do you wish to proceed?
