Compaq Presario CQ61-406SA not start.

Hello

Was given this computer by a friend to try to find out what is wrong with it. It does not start and the Caps Lock/Num Lock LEDS give a flash code that seems to indicate a CPU problem. Have reinstalled the RAM, wireless card and the hdd - even. Have tried to start without anything plugged - even. Tried the hard reset - same. And we tried the reset of the BIOS (windows + B) - still the same.

As it is out of warranty (expired on August 27, 2011) I was wondering what could be done. What would be the best package of care to buy... If the owner is willing, of course.

Thank you

John

Hello

Have been in contact with support by phone earlier today and the price quoted for repair is excessive (€253 / $331) in the age of the computer, so the owner will get a new one instead. Thanks for the reply anyway

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-420US no start/black screen

    Hi all.

    I have a compaq presario CQ61-420US having similar problems below, except I have a black screen, fan flashing lights turns is the same (num lock and cap lock) but they Flash continuously every second or 2.  I tried the hard reset with the fix of ram, connect an external monitor, change the battery and the power adapter, nothing helps. I also used the air compressed on the vents, just in case was riddled with dust because it overheats and can cause problems, but nothing.

    Any other suggestions?

    An option I can think of is to buy a new motherboard, but I'm going to try something else before that.

    AlexisGonzalezC,

    You can try the above solution the other person sugguested.

    Sorry, but it is very difficult to help without a touch your computer and troubleshoot it if there is a hardware problem.

    I predict that GPU your computer has a pseudo brazing or cold joint problem.

    Good luck.

  • HE commands to work - Compaq Presario SR5000 does not start

    I have a Compaq Presario SR5000 running Windows Vista Edition family basic and once we got in, I first cleaned the internals to the air compressed, then tried to start, and it failed, so recommended BIOS I run the Startup Repair tool and so I did, and the startup repair couldn't fix the computer "automatically".

    Now, I run the system restore and I tried to restore the computer to its last Windows Update, and I got the error code 0 x 80070002, meaning that the system cannot find the specified file.

    Specifications for the Compaq Presario SR5000 I have:

    AMD Sempron LE-1250 to 2.20 GHz

    2 GB PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM Samsung

    WDC WD3200AAJS 320 GB HDD at 3.0 Gbps

    Phoenix BIOS CMOS review 5.16 12/11/2008

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    HP M2N86 - THE mother

    Power supply PS-5251-08 LiteON 250W

    Well, if this is the case, then I think you may try to access BIOS, if that does not work then go ahead with the HARD drive option. I had this problem before and I wiped the hard and it worked eventually. If this does not work, I will try and find a different solution.

  • Compaq Presario F768WM does not start

    I have a presario F768 that no longer starts.  Blue power light is stable, power cord.  When I press the power button, the blue power lights the button lights up with the power led and hard drive indicator.  After a second, all the lights go out.  power indicator at the front goes out for a second, then back.

    I tried the hard reset, remove the memory and disk hard and always the same symptoms.

    It started after an update Vista hung and computer had to be turned off manually.

    Looks like your motherboard has gone bad, I know that cell phones series F700 comes with NVIDIA GeForce Go graphics. What plauge of HP and Compaq laptops. what you call sounds just like what everyone has experienced this same problem.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61, unable to boot the laptop

    Compaq Presario CQ61 running Windows 7 Home Premium (build 7601) bought about 4 years ago.

    Computer failed to restart after a period of sleep.  I suspect that it doesn't have an automatic restart after automatic installation of an update - it's only a guess because I have no access to the computer at the moment, but I had a similar problem recently - on this occasion, I got a 'Safe Mode' start - by pressing F8 repeatedly gave me access to the appropriate screen.  I've implemented subsequently by restoring the system to a point just before a automatic installation of a critical Windows Update, and that seemed to do the trick.

    On this occasion the F8 route has no effect on the problem; the 'caps lock' and 'NumLock' continually of the blink just of LED (i.e. not a limited number of times), the fan starts, but there is no other sign of life.  I tried a hard restart, but without result.  I also removed and replaced memory, but once again no effect.

    Can you please advise.

    I'm so sorry I couldn't help you solve the problem, but maybe you could try to free the keyboard, nothing will happen if you do not lose the cpu and tight again. I know that the keyboard one is hard, persevering, best wishes.

  • Compaq presario cq61: change the boot sequence

    I have 10 Windows upgrade on my compaq Presario cq61 free. I want to do a clean install of Windows 10. I downloaded the tool of Microsoft Media, made a key USB and DVD containing the clean install. I am told that the use of the flash player, I have to change the boot sequence in the bios. I tried everything from ESC, all numbers F and LED to try to enter the bios and all have failed. Told me that all I had to do with the DVD was just put it in and start the computer and the laptop would boot from the DVD and I could make my own installation from there. Which also failed. The only thing I have not tried is downgrade to Windows 7, affecting Windows 7 back to factory settings, then reinstall the free update of Windows 10. I would not have to go through all if I mostly because I bought the laptop from a friend and it was installed at the factory of Windows 7 and I don't got no disc software to the computer so I don't want to screw up and drop windows 7 without the appropriate software reinstall to match the product key.

    Any help to enter in the bios or advice that could help me reach my goal would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Here are some other suggestions.

    1. start the machine in Windows 10.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close any open windows and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon from the Start Menu, then select prompt (Admin) and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

    Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

    Shutdown /s /t 0

    Tap on the ESC key as soon as you turn it on and see if it will now access the Start Menu.

    2 try to connect a keyboard external usb and see if this will allow you to access the Start Menu.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA: upgrade the Compaq CQ61 wireless card

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA, running 64-bit Windows 7 application. The current wireless card only works on the 2.4 Ghz band and I want to upgrade to a dual band to get the best speed etc. to 5 GHz. I have an Intel Centrino N6230 of replacement card, but the phone will not accept anything other than the default map. At the start, it stops with an error message saying that it will not continue unless the "unauthorized device" is deleted. If I re - install the original wireless card, it starts and works very well, but this is not the point, I would like to update.

    I guess that the default is to lock the part of the BIOS of the laptop to prevent alteration unauthorized with laptop computers under warranty, but mine is well outside the guarantee.

    I know that the card works because I installed it in my laptop previous and I have been in electronics for 30 years and spent about 5 years of this repair of computers laptops, desktops, servers, etc so I'm sure that I am able to connect a card and the driver installation!

    There does anyone know a way around the block? I won't to be able to upgrade the laptop without it.

    Anyone?

    Do not completely blame HP, but it was little 1984 involving your federal Government. HP and Lenovo read a few Federal Communications Comm regs on the recording of radio portable wireless (including the computer wifi cards) to require that alternative cards are blocked. Other laptop makers has not agreed and now the 'white list' is history, but there is no effort to go back and make new BIOS for older models.

    HP wireless card versions have specific identification in the firmware looking for the HP whitelist before clearing the map to use if you use the version of HP. I looked pretty hard for a version of HP of the card and the one I linked is everything I could find. Google around and you can do better.

    Hello

    If you do not, use another PC to create a Windows 7 recovery CD.  Download the ISO from the link below.

    Windows 7 32 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    Start your laptop from the rescue CD, you have created, select repair your computer and choose the command line.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
