Compaq presario CQ60: some of my system in my keyboard butten malfunctioning, please can it be repaired?

It produces noise whenever I have on my system

chris127

Hello;

Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

If by "sounds" you mean that you get beep sounds whenever you press some keys on the keyboard, which implies that the keyboard is faulty and that it would need to be replace.

Laptop keyboard, unlike an external keyboard, are supposed to be light, not damaged, so they can't really be repaired; Instead, they are designed to be replaceable.

Problem is with an older laptop that is out of warranty, even if the real keyboard could be as cheap as $25 USD (I replaced a little, me), the price of labor can be very high – to the extent that they exceed the replacement cost of the laptop.

So, my suggestion is that you take the laptop to a repair shop and get them to provide you with an estimate of how much it would cost to replace the keyboard.  Also, you should ask him about running hardware diagnostics in the laptop to see if anything else fails.

Good luck

  • 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 exist

    If 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.

  • Compaq Presario CQ60-210US: UMA or discrete graphics

    I have a laptop HP Compaq Presario CQ60-210US with a NVIDIA GeForce 8200 M G graphics card.  Is there memory graph UMA or discrete.

    For some reason, I need to know this, when you order a new fan.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    Hello:

    The service manual doesn't list graphic adapters as discrete for models with AMD processors.

    See the table in Chapter 1 on 1-2 and 1-3 pp.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02985882

    So, I have to say that you need the Assembly of fan/radiator for a laptop AMD with the memory of the UMA.

    He is the only one, I noticed that in Chapter 3.

    Hi realpommy. If you encounter problems with HDMI output and let Windows determine the pilots, who could be part of the issue.  First of all try to install these Windows 7 drivers provided by HP for your laptop: NVIDIA nForce Chipset MCP77MV graphics drivers

    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:
    Information from the Device Manager in Windows 7 to illustrate some possible errors.

    If there is no error in Device Manager, do through these documents for more information and the last for troubleshooting ideas:
    Connection of a monitor, projector or a TV (Windows 7)
    Overview of HDMI and DVI for PC connections

    HDMI display resolution and problems of his (Windows 7 and Vista)

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Compaq Presario CQ60-210US lab: the laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-210US does support Windows 7 64-bit OS

    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.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    I am looking for a software driver coprocessor for compaq presario cq60 for Windows 10 operating system. Windows Update could not find my driver. HP support shows also the coprocessor driver. I think due to not installing the driver the logoff process is very slow and it takes about 8 minutes to close.  If you have the driver, please give me the link to download.  Thank you.

    Hello:

    I don't know what file you are talking about.

    The sp45168 of 32-bit file, or SMU 64-bit file I have attached.  The 32 bit sp45168 file is a valid exe file.

    If you are referring to the SMU 64 bit file that I have attached, everything that you do with, i.e. download and uncompress the latter in his file.

    You do not do anything with the files in the folder.  There is no exe file to launch.

    You navigate to the folder that you have unpacked from the coprocessor in Device Manager device by clicking the coprocessor, click the driver tab, and then click Update driver, click Browse my computer for driver software option, navigate to the folder of the driver EMS that you unzipped.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and the driver should install.

  • 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.

    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.

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

  • Keyboard and trackpad which does not Compaq presario CQ60

    Help!

    My keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop do not react and do not have external devices to see if it is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Mode safe as the keyboard is unresponsive, however it allows me to type my password to access vista! I think I just lock the computer, but do not know how unlock, various forums have specified relocation drivers etc, but I am unable to do this without functional keyboard and do not know how if I pressed a key combination that caused it. I don't know if it's a problem of Vista or Compaq/HP.

    Immensely from any help appreciated!

    as far as I know, if you can type your password on the login screen, then the keyboard works, if the problem appears after the connection or it will appear when you are on your desktop screen, it may be a problem of operating system or a problem with corruption of user account

    the keyboard would be a hardware failure, if when you turn on your nb, there will be no ligts on the keyboard will make the capslock key does not illuminate or does not at all as long as you turn on the nb

    for the touchpad, try to check if its or disable... If there is a light orange above the touch pad then sound off, toggle the switch the light to turn to blue...

    so before anything else... TRY THIS FIRST!

    1. remove the battery

    2 disconnect the power adapter

    3. no power supply at all, press in and hold the button for 1 min... Be sure that it will be 1 min...

    technically, we call this HARD RESET... This process would free electricity static that could be included on the power button spout these electrostatic charges sometimes causes harware malfunctionalities...

    then it this step does not work... do this...

    try to go into safe mode by continuously pressing F8 during startup (press F8 when you see the hp invent screen), then you will be directed to advance startup options... Choose last known good config... Then, it will boot to the last known good setting...

    Please let me know if this does not work...

    Otherwise, ' choose repair your computer "on the start options... Choose the American keyboard layout... so if asked for a user name and password, you can change the administrator username username and then put your password... If you do not use any password leave it blank... then choose Startup Repair...

    Please let me know if this does not work...

    I hope this helps...

    Hello

    I have compaq presario CQ60-419WM with processor AMD Sempron (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01753032) and I want to upgrade.

    I did some research and found out that it is possible to uprade my cpu with this processor TMRM72DAM22GG (AMD Turion 64 X 2 2.0 GHZ). im posting this question because I want to assure you that I will buy the right processor and not wasting money. I googled and this site is the only store that can shipped here in the Philippines.

    Hi @doublesix66 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question about your Compaq Presario CQ60-210US laptop and receiving a message from the user profile service failed the log on. Here is a fix for it from Microsoft. It seems that the profile you are trying to connect to a file corrupted in it.

    You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop. This helps others correct this error message.

    When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    I hope this helps.

  • Compaq Presario CQ60-210US pre-staged at level question

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-210US I intend to upgrade to Windows 7.  Right now it is running Vista 32 bit and 2 GB memory system.  I am considering upgrading to 4 GB in the future and I know that on systems with dedicated video memory, that should be the 64-bit version.

    What I want to know, because the video chip takes his memory system memory and has no own dedicated memory, if she really wants to be worth upgrading to Windows 7 64 - bit during the upgrade to Windows 7 32 bit?

    Well, if you want not to lose any only upgrade to 3 GB, it removes the BONE size and is used for the video if you put 4 GB, but you can still see an improvement over 3 GB.

    I tried both on no specialized memory units and I saw a slight improvement with 4, nothing to wirte welcome words but I was running SW benchmarking.

    So 3 GB and you lose nothing, 4 GB, you may lose half a GB.
