Compaq Presario - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

If your computer allows it, try running on just AC power (remove the battery). If it works, then you know its the battery, if not, then you may have other problems. Here is a site with some steps to follow to help determine your specific problem. This is another useful website for battery

Assuming you are using Windows Vista:

All you have to do is connect your laptop to a monitor via a VGA port (located on either the side or at the back of your laptop - it's the port with about 15 holes).

Once connected , you will need to configure how your 2nd monitor will function - as an extended or duplicate monitor. To set this you will need to go to Display Settings > and select your option.

I bet you do not need or want any proxy server. I bet you question really is how to get internet connected, right? first off what OS is this, XP> we can not see you, your PC nor your OS. (whats connected to PC, nor if it has wifi options) is this IE11 your browsers , cant guess that either,? why not use an Ethernet, Lan cable CAT5/6 and plug in the PC to the router and it all works like magic, that be first. if the PCs lan jack (ethernet ) is dead. (and other PCs work on your router) do they./ then we go to device manager and look see that? then see if the lan chip has driver. network marked, red/yellow or unknown is bad. if missing the get it from HP. HP has zero support on old PCs, it's too old, its in fact 16 years old. support ended . 2007 (17-10 = x) came with 10/100 Ethernet, new (spec sheet says) slow. that is. but what chip that is , is very hard to find out this old why waste time and money on PC worth $5 used.? it came with windows 2000 or XP new. which is it? if the driver is good, or the unknown chip there, ethernet the when you connect to the router the connection made automatically then running relic old IE 6? you see proxy question tell it no, and that sets automatic , gate way ip address to your router. and just works out of the gate. install firefox v56 and its more easy. to run and not get bogged down in proxy settings. avoid IE versions below 11, as all OLD IE's, are virus magnets and zero support, use Firefox, on all old PCs, not updated to W7 !!! IE = internet exploder browsers) show just getting a connection, only. browsing is a whole other matter, and 20 browsers free are common. http://www.pcdied.com/DevMan/internet.html

Hi.

CTO means Custom To Order or Configure to order. Some manufacturers call it BTO Built To Order.

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.

it needs a license to run, unless you get the trail demo versions ask them not us for help only the make the rules see and can be fluid. ask them here. https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=&forum=&filter=&sort=relevancedesc&brandIgnore=true&searchTerm=office ask them.

Fn+12 is dead, say that to be clear ok, double posted too. I guess you never seen this PC on wifi ever before>?(not told) working wifi?????????????????????

1. the card wifi not missing or just bad. antennas fell off?
2. card driver not missing. wifi.
3. F12 key board driver not missing (extensions)
4. w7 still as was new? or replaced.? not w10 wrecked?

the bad news is HP ended support for this PC. ZERO SUPPORT NOW. only googling and endless infected websites , like it.

bad hdd now, heads crashed,? Laptops do that easy but yes fan too... there are only 2 motors there, HDD and fan one is not happy./ (use ear close) the PC when it overheats it slows down (Intel inside magic) or even shuts off. so most PCs do not damage actual but is no good too use slow or dead. sorry no fire. PCs are fire proof, smoke some sure is possible but super super rare smoke, disktop PSU sure do make smoke some times.

lost pass word is hacking so google how to hack like this. google.com " Compaq presario B1200 Password hack"

hi,

Try VLC Player for your .vob files instead of just opening is.
Install VLC Player and and from VLC players file menu try to open the file.. It will work perfectly.

Regards

Try another Media Player, it may be the File Format. Try this freeware Media Player, VLC, 32 or 64bit?, found here along with Real Player Media Player: http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc_32/ You can find many freeware/shareware programs here: http://www.filehippo.com/

In case somebody has the same problem. Result of my investigation: * If everything is ok then the Presario CQ61 boots without battery. * HP support recommends to do a hard reset i.e. remove power supply, remove battery, press power button to discharge everything internally, connect power, press power button In my case the problem was solved by changing the AC Adapter (Power supply). Note: The led besides the power connector is not reliable. It is on with the working and faulty adapter. Note: The voltage level at the battery pins is not reliable. I had same values.

If you dont have the disc and the product key for the cyberlink power dvd then i would suggest you an alternative to go ahead and install VLC player which supports all the media files and has all the latest codecs.
To download VLC Player go to the below mentioned link and install the software

The Numeral Lock mode is turned on by pressing the key named "NUM LOCK" which is usually located on the top of the number keypad (on far right side of keyboard).

However, laptop keyboards are different. Most laptops do not have a separate numeral keypad set. Those laptops usually use a blue (or other color-coded) "Fn" key, on the bottom left. You must press that Fn key at the same time as the "Num Lock" key of same colr. Then a light comes on to indicate the mode change, and some alpha-numeric keys on the keyboard now become your numeral keypad. On mine, it is 789, UIO (456), JKL (123) and M (which is zero).

If this is too confusing, you can plug in a cheap full size desktop keyboard, using the USB or PS2 port on your laptop. That is what I prefer, because the funky integrated dual-key deal interferes with all the touch-typing I learned 37 years ago.

Then install your USB device with your CD
Then do this

Click your Start Button
Select and click Control Panel
Select Network Connections
Select Wireless Network Connections
Right click
Select View Available Wireless Networks
5. Highlight the network you want to connect to
Click Advanced
6. Select the wireless network tab
7. Highlight the network in the available networks window
9. Click configure
9. IN the Properties Window
Double check the SSID (network name)
Enter the WEP KEY provided to you by the office
Click OK

I'm having problems locating a manual. Compaq doesn't seem to support the model anymore. Reading a review online, It almost looks like Compaq had an Application control this instead of practical buttons on the front. Here's the review I read that talked about it -> http://www0.epinions.com/content_28050886276
Hope this helps a bit! Sorry I don't have much else, I've been digging for a few days now to find more.
