Compaq presario cq61 Fez at startup

Hi there my compaq presario cq61 freezes whenever I start it. I pass the boot compaq logo then I get a black screen frozen with a white blinking underscore in the top left corner and the wifi button is constantly lit orange. I can press the esc key when Startup logo is in place and a lot of options appears, but I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance. Greig.

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

c:

Boot CD

BCD attrib s h - r

Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

Bootrec /RebuildBcd

Bootrec /fixmbr

Bootrec /fixboot

Remove the rescue CD and try to restart now.

Kind regards

  • 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.
