Compaq Presario CQ60-409SA: SSD upgrade problem
Hello
I just replaced my HARD drive with a new 120 GB SSD 11 Extreme Sandisk.
Everything went well without problems and much faster search time, etc...
The problem I have is that when I start the laptop from the cold, IE turn it on to use the SSD is not recognized and I just get a black screen with cursor top left of flashing, but if I press on Ctrl-Alt-Del, the system restarts then boots in windows without problem.
I want to know if I can access BIOS Advanced Options, if I press F10 at startup I get only Options as the starting order of change and not more advanced Option to change the parameters of training, etc. and F2 does not work Diagnostics for the SDS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm very satisfied with the performance increase that disk SSD gives Windows and start itme except for having to start twice.
Concerning
Hi Hüffer,
The SSD was visible on the Windows installation disc, but after I installed the AHCI drivers during the option to load drivers installation succeeded and starts as it should.
Kind regards
Mike

The Compaq Presario 2100 laptop SSD upgrade
I have a laptop Compaq Presario 2100 it was brand new in 2003. I have a newer laptop, but a train trying to upgrade the Presario 2100 as much as possible. This is the kind of a project now and I also want to get as much as possible out of it. I heard that SSDS are super fast and would improve performance a bit. Anyone did the upgrade to an SSD for their Persario 2100 notebook PC series already? All entries are appreciated, in particular information about the product that was used for the upgrade. If no one did, so nobody knows if it is possible to upgrade the Presario 2100 series laptop PC to an SSD?
Thank you
Huck
Believe it or not, the maintenance manual is always available.
The Presario 2100 uses old school PATA (EIDE) hard disks that are different from those of the SSD SATA see you more often on the market. However, there is a PATA SSD. They cost a bit more per concert, of course. I put a PATA SSD in a laptop on the same vintage as the Presario 2100 and it does significantly improve start-up time and overall performance, but talk about the proverbial earrings on a pig!
This is a 64 GB SSD PATA that would be perfect for the Presario 2100, but $ 90:

Compaq Presario CQ60-249US memory upgrade
I have a compaq cq 60 laptop. It has 4000 Mb usable memory, I can only increase. What would you recommend as a maximum memory. What is the BIOS level would be required.
Appreciate the help
The maximum capacity that supports the motherboard of your laptop is 4 GB.
If you already have 4 GB installed, then this is the most that it will support.

Problem of PC keyboard laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-224NR after the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7
I have recently upgraded the OS on my laptop PC Compaq Presario CQ60 224NR Vista Service Pack 2 to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 1. I updated the drivers before upgrading and checked for the latest drivers after upgrade also. After the upgrade, the keyboard of the laptop works only partially when I use a web browser. This includes IE and Firefox. Above the QWERTY keys do not work correctly. If I press one of these keys or SHIFT and one of these keys, the last character, symbol, or space I typed before is repeated instead. Y at - it a fix for this problem?
Well, I searched for several hours and found a solution, at least for me I am a customer of Comcast and I installed constant guard. There is a key logger that is included in the package that it causes the problem. I uninstalled GuardedID and my problem disappeared. I hope it works for you.

Problem with the Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX
Hello, I'm having a problem with my NEW Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX mother. Every time it boots up vista and I run internet explorer, I get a strange blue screen which exports a file memory and reboots.
I have the feeling that this might have been caused by a virus, but I can't do something, because Vista can't reformat long for some reason any.
I tried a hard test in my motherboard and he said that there is something wrong with my hard drive.
I don't know what is happening, right now I'm in safe mode trying to find viruses that Nod32 does not detect everything.
Can someone tell me how I can get either the Windows XP Discs to work at startup (which, for some reason, they do not), or an alternative to a long format?
Is there a way to fix this without reformatting? There's almost nothing on this laptop anyway so I'm always willing to do. A regular format has done nothing to solve the problem, I did it with Ubuntu and it did a quick format, but I had no problem with Ubuntu. Then I reinstall Vista and I am constantly having problems with a blue screen of death.
Someone knows how to fix this?
The Chemich does not existIf you want to do a reinstall of Vista then press F11 continuously during the boot upward. This will bring you in Recovery Options were you can choose to restore the system in the same State as when it was purchased. But if, as you suggested, is that a problem of hard drive reinstall won't help.

The Rams - EE of Compaq Presario CQ60-116 upgrade
Hello
This is my first post so I think I erased my point of view, which may not be 100% good.
In any case, short story...
I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 - 116 EA
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00820047
and I would like to upgrade of his memory, I know that it can take up to 4 GB, but I'm not sure of the maximum speed of memory the motherboard can take and use fully without being too high speed. (for example, I won't buy a 1333 MHz Rams beacause I know that it is more than enough and that it is a waste of money)
I am confused between buying a 667 MHz or a 800 MHz. So, could someone give me a hand here please
Thanks in advance...Hello:
You want to buy 2 x 2 GB of PC2-6400 memory for the processor T5800 in your notebook.

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.

Keyboard on Compaq Presario CQ60 problem
My daughter has a CQ60 notebook that was working fine this morning, but this afternoon the Q W E R U I O and P keys have stopped responding. I could check, all other keys are not affected. Any suggestion would be gratly appreciated.
Before I / we assume that the keyboard is bad you need to reinstall the driver, that seems to never work, but we should give it a shot anyway. Go to the control panel and find the Device Manager. Click on that and find "Keyboard" in the list, click the small arrow to decompress. Right-click on the keyboard and choose to uninstall the driver, ignore the warning and continue. You will be prompted to restart the computer and start it will automatically reinstall the driver.

Here are some of ebay.co.uk.
They are a little expensive, I think you'd be better off getting one of the United States that is ready to ship on the seas, a ship from Hong Kong (probably where they are made).
Here's where I got that from.
Here is your service manual and a few videos in the media library of the HP Services.
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02985882.PDF Look on page 4-18 and a bit beyond. Be very careful when you remove the cable from the ZIF connector on the motherboard, if you break that he condemns the whole motherboard.
http://h20574.www2.HP.com/default.htm?lang=en&cc=us&hpappid=psml If you have difficulties to navigation in your model and videos, post again and I'll give you some instructions. Give the page time video too load. Yours is very easy to remove, there are 3 screws marked with a symbol inside the battery bay keyboard that hold it in place and it throws just to go to the nearest rear of the screen.
Once, you get to the video page, navigate to the keyboard in the left column.
Note that it does not list the CQ60-200 series, but the 100 series is the same.
You can also order the keyboard of HP once, you know the part number, it will be at the back of the keyboard ending with
-001. You will pay bonus for it through HP and you will not be able to order the parts anyway, I discovered that it is only available in the United States, it is perhaps different in the United Kingdom.

After installation and reboot, if you still have problems with video output look in Device Manager, to ensure that there is no error, or "unknown devices". The section "Understanding of the symbols of error Device Manager" in this document:

Your laptop is probably the Atheros AR5007 wireless network adapter.
If so (you can check by going to the Device Manager, expand network adapters device category to see the name and number of the model wireless network card), this driver installation normally solves this problem...

Hello. I know for my brother, if his Compaq Presario CQ60-210US laptop that is running Vista 32-bit operating system, can be upgraded to a 64-bit version/edition of Windows 7, 8.1/8 or 10? As stated, the laptop OS is Vista 32 bit, and I think that's Vista Home Premium, but I'm not sure. It has 4 GB of RAM, which is the maximum for a 32 bit OS. I realize that you can do an upgrade on the spot of a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit OS and it will take a clean install, but nobody knows if material of this laptop, BIOS etc supports 64-bit operating systems?
Thank you.
Hello
It is my opinion, to you, you can run 64-bit or 32-bit. Sogtware much still run as 32-bit anyway.
