Compaq CQ58-201SU

Hello

I have a compaq CQ58-201SU.

What happened:

I tried to reinstall windows. Current vesion was Win8.

New Windows disk is Pro 8.1.

It gave me an error message saying the following:

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is a MBR partition table. The EFI, Windows system cannot be installed on GPT disks.

I was about to download Gparted on a USB key to set the partition type.

Tried it once more just to make sure it wasn't a mistake.

Laptop computer willl no longer starts or won't let me not even get into the BIOS.

Caps and screen black lock blinkig twice between breaks. -(HP FAQ thead, it is an indication for corrupted BIOS).

Tried the Reset Hard Power. (Remove the battery, press and hold the power button for 15 sec, put the battery back on, alternative current summer)-did not work.

I tried a BIOS reset. (Press Windows key + B first and then press the button for a second, while now the other keys, then release them together) - tried several times, nothing happens.

Someone has an idea, what do I do next?

I solved my problem by following these steps.

Removed the battery.

Removed the two rear panels covering the WiFi card + RAM and HDD bay.

The deleted BIOS battery.

WAITED 5 minutes.

Put everything back together.

Startup. > Get message to reset the BIOS.

Reset.

Now, everything is normal.

  • Realtek ethernet error code driver 35, Compaq CQ58, Windows 8.1

    Hello.

    I have a new laptop Compaq CQ58-353EM. It came with preinstalled system (Windows 8). Subsequently, I installed Windows and HP updates.

    The problem I have is with the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller (ethernet). In Device Manager, it is represented by a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. In the State of the device, it is stated: your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact the manufacturer to obtain a firmware or an update of the BIOS of your computer. (Code 35).

    Laptop has everything system and hp updates installed.

    I have tried the following to resolve the problem:

    -2 versions of various bios (F.26 and F.25).

    -several add/remove/reinstall the Realtek drivers

    -2 different versions of Realtek drivers: 8.3.730.2012 and 8.20.815.2013 (extract from the Realtek site).

    Ethernet works OK on Ubuntu.

    Any suggestions or solutions to this problem?

  • Compaq CQ58: I forgot the password to power Compaq CQ58

    I just bought a Compaq CQ58 of a pawn shop. When I turn on it requires an administrator password or power on password. It did not come with this information, so I Googled it and saw a few different multi number password that has been proposed to type. None of these work. When I try three times it comes up with "System disabled" and gives the numeric code 96623987. How can I bypass this password?

    Hello Fiona-s,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum of Support HP!

    I'm afraid that the HARD drive has failed - the question is material one and all simply restore/reinstall will not solve it. Yes, you need to replace the HARD disk new or better with the SSD. SSDS are up to 10 times faster than hard drives:

    > http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide/ssd-vs-hdd

    > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

    There are more than 100 manufacturers and sellers SSD, but personally, I would choose Samsung, Intel, Toshiba, or OCZ ones.

    Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 have supported for SSDS. Vista and XP - no

    You will need a recovery media to restore the windows once you have installed the new SSD or HARD disk.

    You can get possible by contacting HP Support. Here's how:
