adding memory to a presario CQ57-489wm

I bought a Presario CQ57-489WM and you want to add memory me. How do the cards memory under the keyboard?

I intend to do it myself and have done several times. If I can't I'll just return the laptop and get a Toshiba instead...

In general, there are about 6 screws under the battery that must be removed.  These screws usually keep the scope on the top of the attached keyboard. It can be more or less 6.  Sometimes there are screws on each side of the battery goes throughout the case this scope as well, but not always. There is also a screw that is located in the Middle many laptops in the middle with a picture of a keyboard embossed on the plastic that holds the keyboard key (some models do not have this and some do).  The upper bezel along the upper part of the keyboard should raise with gentile persuasion.  Make sure you don't pull it off because the plastic ribbon cables can be connected to it so go slow.  This should indicate 3 or 4 screws on the top of the keyboard.  When you remove these screws, you should be able to tilt the keyboard away so that you reach memory.  The keyboard also has a slick plastic attached to the motherboard so be gentle.  Here are the General instructions to remove a keyboard.  I do not have, nor have I ever removed this particular keyboard.  Good luck!

  • Compaq Presario CQ57-104TU: upgrade Ram, memory (Ram Hynix PC3L-12800)

    Hello world

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ57-104TU. I recently decided to upgrade the ram (currently 1 x 2 GB Elpida PC3 - 10600 1333 Mhz). I bought 2 x 4 Gb Hynix HMT451S6AFR8A, PC3L-12800. Unfortunitely when I install the new Ram (Hynix)

    the computer does not start. Is there something I can do or the Ram is not compatible?

    Any help would be appreciated,

    André

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p.2. Specified memory is DDR3-1333 1.5 volt and you try to install low-voltage DDR3-1600. In addition, memory that you are trying to install is high density, because it has 4 blocks on each side, where I am betting that original memory was of low density (8 blocks). Long story short, it is not compatible. It do you no good to install DDR3-1600 by the way. Best of cases, it will anyway be downclock speed 1333.

    Thank you

    RAM is much easier updating. I recommend at least 4 gigs, and it will take up to 8. She takes DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM memory. CQ57-339WM seems to be your model.

    This is the service manual you need to swap processors:

    Manual

    The CQ57s equipped with a Celeron processor will accept only the Celeron processors. There are a couple more quickly available for your computer Celeron, but exchanging a Celeron for a another Celeron just doesn't seem worth it to me.

    If you want the computer to run more quickly install 4 GB of RAM and upgrade to a disk hard solid state. The speed improvement is actually more you'd get from opting for a faster Celeron processor. After the back if you want more specific suggestions.

  • Compaq Presario CQ57-339wm: I can swap different CPU into a model motherboard Celeron?

    Hey all,.

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ57-339wm requiring a logic board replacement. According to the sticker on the Palm, it has an Intel Celeron processor clocked to Interior.

    According to the CQ57, the motherboard service manual I ordered (reference number: 646177-001) is "for use only with the computer models equipped with an Intel Core i5 or i3 processor processor and a graphics subsystem with UMA video memory.

    Since I have a Celeron CPU and motherboard instead, would replace this motherboard for the work of the Board of Directors i5? I think that the mobo, I ordered does not include a processor i5, just the current Board. I could swap the chip Celeron of the old Council to the Board of Directors i5, or that wouldn't work either? I have to install a compatible rod that matches the part number of the old mobo? (646174 001).

    If it won't work, I return to the Commission, as I have not yet opened and order a compatible card. Moreover, if the installation of the Board of Directors will work, and I just need the compatible CPU, I could order one that would correspond to the reference, like this eBay i3.

    "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." -Issac Asimov, from its roman Foundation.

    I think that you understood. The Celeron and Core Intel models use a different motherboard with a different chipset and processors cannot be exchanged.

  • Black screen on startup, caps lock flashing - Compaq Presario CQ57 311SO

    I got this computer from a friend who owns a son.

    We do not know how or when it appeared first, but it's in this State for a few months now.

    It is a Compaq Presario CQ57-311SO and its a little more than 1 year, so store warranty has expired.

    What happens is that when you press the button power has nothing to display on the screen and you do not hear the sounds of typical start-up, the beep and the hard disk rotates upward.

    Instead of this, the Caps Lock key led flashes in the following model, 2 flashes pause 2 flashes.

    The computer is totally immune to any key, usb and cd entries.

    I tried the hard reset and memory sharing in different locations.

    But it seems that the bios itself is corrupt and failed.

    So my question is, can I Flash the bios somehow and make it work again?

    I tried a tutorial on how to do memory flash in FAT - 16 but no noticeable effect.

    Although the guide could be wrong or I could have done something wrong so I would really like to try again if I could get help with instructions from you nice people

    Thanks in advance.

    I solved the problem in dismembering the computer laptop everything and put back the battery CMOS.

    Thank you.

  • Need to "downgrade" my Compaq Presario CQ57 of Windows 8

    A few weeks ago, I upgraded my Presario CQ57 to Windows 8.  Well, I don't like her, and I now have a desktop computer that is anyway a touchscreen that works beautifully.  I thought about my computer limited knowledge that I had created the backup disks to restore my system to Windows 7 Home Premium, but it turns out it's a repair disc.

    Is it possible for me to order the right from HP disk to return my laptop for Windows 7?  I found something on the internet with this post: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-e-g/The-Cleanest-Install-Windows-7-Recovery-D...

    I don't know what to do.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Hello:

    Please read the info on the link below to see how to order for your PC recovery disc:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

    I believe that my instructions are easy to follow to make your own install of W7 media, if you do more like that.

    You can also make your own regular install of W7 disc and allows to reinstall windows 7 If you can read the product key 25 character microsoft on the COA sticker on the case of the PC. You will have none of the programs supplied with the PC using this method, however.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Compaq Presario CQ57: bios error 501

    What should I do to get rid of this problem?  Please help me someone.

    Welcome to the community of HP @ANAKONDA support,

    Thank you for joining on the HP's Support Forums! It is a great place to ask questions, find solutions and get help from others in the community! I read your post on the Forums of HP Support.

    I wanted to join you and help! I understand that you have a problem with an APPLICATION (501) BIOS ERROR on your Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop PC.

    Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, because they can cause some problems.

    Try starting your laptop normally after having disconnected all. If that does not solve the problem, please continue with troubleshooting.

    The next step would be for you to try to restore the BIOS. You will see that the document says:

    If the BIOS of your laptop becomes corrupted, and a failure to upgrade the BIOS or damage caused by a virus, the computer can display all the following symptoms:

    • The computer displays the error message from the BIOS APPLICATION ERROR 501.

    After restoring the BIOS see if you can start the computer normally.

    Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP where we want to help you as well as others who may encounter a similar problem that you have. Remember to mark this message as an acceptable Solution if it solves the problem for you.
