Compaq Presario CQ50-140US
Can I replace my 250 GB HDD with a 320 GB hard drive?
Hello:
Yes, I see the service manual indicates what size disks are taken in charge, but it's just because those who are the only size HP installed in this series of models.
With SATA drives, you can theoretically go at least 1 to (the problem with your laptop, a 1 TB drive is probably too thick to fit in the drive Bay).
A disk of 500 GB (or 320) will work without any problem at all.

Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm system restore disks required
I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm. The hard drive has been damaged without repair possible and I put a new hard drive in it, but I have system restore disks. They are no longer available for purchase. Anyone know where I can get a set? The original operating system is Windows Vista.
Hello:
I don't see that HP has them.
It would link to the recovery media to order on the Vista 32 bit laptop driver page.
But can call HP and ask first. Maybe you can order them by phone and they would cost less ordering them to surgeons in the computer.
If HP does no more, you can still get this provider on the link below.

drivers for compaq presario cq50-112EO
Product name: Compaq Presario CQ50-112EO
OS: Vista Edition Home Premium
I reinstalled Vista Home Premium on the computer and now it has no drivers for Ethernet, the math processor controllers and 2 unknown units. I can not turn the wireless, after some googling, I guess that's because it needs the Ethernet drivers on the motherboard first.
How can I find what motherboard it is and where I can find these drivers?
Any help appreciated.

Compaq Presario CQ50-110EM power supply issue
Hello
I have the laptop above and, recently, it wouldn't boot, I discovered that it was due to a faulty memory. As I have 2 slots memory (1 GB of RAM in each), I decided to order a new module of memory 2 GB RAM and just use working memory.
However (I have not yet rceivedthe new RAM) since this problem my laptop is currently not supported. The adapter does not witness charge LED and when mobile I take out the battery and try to start it just via the adapter it does not.
After searching for the official HP troubleshooting tips everyone ended up with "you must buy a new adapter" which I ordered now. However, since she told me it might actually be the power socket on the laptop that is the issue and that it is welded oto the motherboard I had an enormous cost.
Anyone had the same problems as me? Might the matter to be able to be linked to the question of memory? The laptop is only 18 months, and if the memory slot and power went on the motherboard I certainly don't buy Compaq again!
Problem solved was fortunately just the power adapter.

HP offers no drivers xp for PC laptop Compaq Presario CQ50-215NR
I would like to change my OS XP, but am unable to find drivers for my computer. If anyone can help that would be great.
Thank you.
Most hardware drivers with regard to laptops, are written specifically for the operating system that they are supplied with. If you have vista, you're going to have a tough go get xp to work. You can try the vista drivers and see if they work. Search drivers xp for the hp product or try the manufacturers website. Don't forget to make your recovery discs before performing any software os installs.

Compaq presario cq50: Enabling Execute Disable bit
Since I have a 64-bit processor, I want to do a clean install of Windows 64-bit 10.
According to this Web page, I have to first enable the Execute Disable bit in the BIOS.
When you try to do, I couldn't find the option.
I then looked my processor (Pentium (r) Dual-Core CPU T4300 2.10 GHz) and was directed to this Web page.
As you can see, the table shows that the Execute Disable Bit feature is provided with this processor.
After reading this, I went into the BIOS and looked through each menu and submenu and still cannot find the option.
My current version of BIOS is F.65, which is the latest version of the BIOS for my computer, according to this page for Windows 7 drivers.
Does anyone know why activate option Execute Disable is not available for me?
Thank you
EDIT
This page someone explains how to see if XD is activated. I did, and that's what my current settings are:
This means that the Execute Disable Bit feature is currently enabled for my PC?
DEP is enabled in your screenshot and is very probably enabled by default in the bios, even if you don't see the setting, you should be good to go.

Compaq Presario CQ50 daily white screen
About once a day, I get a white screen (gray or white, usually) while I am using my laptop. It happens more often when I'm on a web page or watching a movie. I have to restart the computer, and then it is usually fine (ie. it won't happen again this day there). Today, what has happened twice, however. It's a bad enough problem for me because this problem tends to happen when I'm testing a presentation or video clips for a conference, and then I have to restart my laptop standing. (I don't know if this information is useful, but the display of the projector that I connect to also be empty when the screen of my laptop turns off). I bought the laptop in 2008, so it is quite old. I checked my card drivers display, and that's all to date. No idea what could be causing the problem? Thank you!
Hi littlesimi,

Compaq presario notebook GPU update
I have a compaq presario cq50-105AU notebook. I was pleased with the performance of the current GPU (nvidia geforce 8200 m). I am able to upgrade to a higher GPU?
Nope. Cannot be.
This option is only for desktops and workstations. Only upgrades posibble internally for a laptop computer are memory and hard drive. If you don't have "the mind to open your laptop and void the warranty, you can also pass the CPU."

Upgrade CPU Compaq Presario CQ60-216TX
Hello - looking for help with information for a possible CPU upgrade
Re: Compaq Presario CQ60 - 216TX laptop...
Motherboard is HP 488338-001 alternative No. Its one with onboard nVidia graphics and an hdmi output.
Here is an example of eBay:
The current processor is an Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 2.0 Ghz, 800 MHz FSB, socket P...
See: http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SLGJN.html
The options available in the link of the CQ60 User Guide: point 13 down:
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02985882.PDF
relate only to the:
CPU T3200 http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/QB/QBNT.html
and CPU T3400 http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/QG/QGFM.html
processors respectively both with a 667 Mhz front bus and 1 MB of L2 cache
The question is what the CPU can be used as a possible substitute for a performance on the T4200 gain?
The following text appears to be very similar to the T4200, but roll up a gear clock spec. None of them would be viable and of course even wouldn't she do on such an older machine now? The BIOS would support a higher clocked CPU speed?
T4300 (2.1 GHz), T4400 (2.2 Ghz), T4500 (2.3 Ghz), - all ran 800 Mhz bus speed and 1 MB of L2 cache
CPU is not mentioned on any other ideas that could also work with the specified above mother card would also be appreciated.
Thank you
Yes, there is a point in going more slowly so that your pc supports dual channel.
You have 800 MHz if you hace two-channel memory will clock at 533 Mhz and then multiplied twice which is 1066 Mhz
It is a parameter which allocates memory of your cpu (long story)
and as I can see, your PCH supports 1066 Mhz which will make it intresting.

Hi all
Right then my loved one Compaq Presario CQ-62 is not turn on! I plug in the adapter and the charging light is displayed. Then when I go to turn it on, I press the power button and the power (on the power button) will blink once and then turns off. And after that, no lights appear at all! And since I have had for a year now HP / Compaq not give me my warranty ideas everything? Any help?Well it depends on the store. Is they know the problem and have done a lot, then they are more likely to be able to do the repair easily and therefore more responsible, say $100. If they spend more time on this matter, so as more money.
There are some like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COMPAQ-PRESARIO-F500-F700-CQ60-CQ50-MOTHERBOARD-REPAIR-/270655067629?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f044c95ed
I suggest not, just noting. The F700 series had some areas bad solder on some chips which was easy to fix once they did some of them.
