  Additional information:

  You can also remove the battery since you mention that he died anyway. Sometimes removing aid to cooling. When you set the bass processor speed - you changed it under 'Sector' haven't you?

  Yes, remove the old compound with alcohol. You can get Arctic Silver 5 here or in of many stores, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Staples, etc. Below are videos showing application of Arctic Silver and ceramics, the two coupons.

• Compaq Presario SR5130NX: Cannot start Windows Vista after failure - HELP!

  Hello! My building has undergone a complete failure so 4 days ago I used it. Power resumed 3 hours later, but I was not able to log on since.
  
  
  
  
  
  Normally, I turn on my PC, and about 30 seconds later, a window pops up asking you my password. After entering it, the PC come by my office. Now, when I turn on the PC, it brings me to a blue screen with a mouse cursor in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.
  
  
  
  
  
  When I press F8 during the boot process and choose an option from the window "Advanced Boot Options", I still can't start my computer normally.
  
  
  
  
  
  Here's the "Advanced Boot Options" I tried, after consultation with my brother a little more PC-savvy:
  
  
  
  
  
  1 repair your computer - after I see my black screen that is usual with the words "Microsoft Corporation" under the green bars that scroll from left to right for about 15 seconds, a blue screen appears with the mouse pointer in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.
  
  
  
  
  
  2 mode safe - while the PC display several files on start up and down, it stops on "Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys" for about 20 seconds, then proceeds to a black screen with the words "Safe Mode" in the 4 corners and the mouse cursor at the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.
  
  
  
  
  
  3 safe mode with network - see "Safe Mode" above.

  7 debug mode - see "Repair your computer" above.
  
  
  
  
  
  I downloaded a DVD recovery based on Linux in knopper.net, allowing me to access important files, which I copied from the desktop to an external hard drive (4.1 GB iso file).
  
  
  
  
  
  PC Windows XP of my brother has a recovery disk, but my Windows Vista PC did not come with one. I've seen a few paid versions, but looked resources due to cool weather and free shipping.
  
  
  
  
  
  I can't tell if I have the 23-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, so I downloaded both versions of an open source sourceforge.NET startup repair, which I burned on 2 DVDs. After you run the startup repair program using two DVD, the diagnostic results have been uploaded online at ubuntu.com for review and technical analysis. Here are the links:

  Hello

  Since you already have KNOPPIX I try Gparted and use it to 'clean up' the score because it will stop in an impure State.

  NTFS

  [1]

  [11]

  NTFS-3 g / important

  GParted will try.

  Also, I would consider the old problem with fat systems, floppy disks etc. which sometimes a copy of sys files from a floppy disk to a hard drive has reactivated a bootable system.

  So, if system files have been damaged, then replace them since a Setup disk.  Because he goes to options, what kind of work.

• No disk bootable on Compaq Presario CQ42 problem

  Hello

  I recently came across a problem with my laptop Compaq Presario CQ42-117TX. I had a few regular updates installed and when I tried to restart the computer to complete the update, it starts for a long time then usual before flashing a blue screen for a second and then blacking out.

  When I restarted it again, he said he had no hard drive detected. I ran a check of the system BIOS and he could not run a quick test on the hard drive. When I try to turn it on normally, it goes to a black screen with a few details on the material inside and the last line reading "no bootable disc - insert boot disk and press any key any."

  Any help would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  I don't see any notebooks CQ42-117TX.

• 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 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.

• Compaq Presario C500: Upgrade to Windows 10 Bugs

  Only encountered two so far, both with workarounds, but the second question concerns a significant loss of functionality ("sleep" mode no longer works) and for which we could do with a fix:

  (i) the upgrade of Windows 10 resulted in a loss of sound, but switching to the native Windows audio driver provided a fix (see here).

  (II) the number current and currently without a satisfactory solution, introduced during the recent upgrade to Windows 10 anniversary update, the laptop you wake up mode 'sleep' with a press of a key, but the keyboard stops working after that, requiring a reboot at this time. anouther user found a solution (see here) which is essentially to turn off mode 'sleep' and using hibernation instead. also while searching the Web, seems to have been a problem as far as Vista for the bit of material, the solution is to set the following check box:

  Device Manager > keyboards > Standard 101/102 key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard PS/2 with HP QLB > properties > Powermanagement > allow this device to wake the computer

  However, following the update of the anniversary while it is possible to set this checkbox, it is not save, go back into the dialog after setting and option is always undefined (that is a second related bug essentially, more a problem of WIndows 10 although I guess).

  It would be a shame if what has been a successful computer laptop put Vista level through what is probably the most version of Windows succdessful, should gradually lose compatibility.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem you face is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features is the specialized drivers written for the specific in your HP PC hardware - and unfortunately, there is no driver HP Win10 for your PC. HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  You were very lucky to be able to find solutions to the problems so far, but as MS continues to be updated Win10, the situation will worsen.

  This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the drivers he needs for these features simply do not exist!

• Compaq Presario SR1901WM: Problems burning

  Hi, everyine, I'm having a problem with my Presario SR1901WM. I'm running Windows XP, SP3, all installed updates. The problem is, when I try to burn a CD, it stops after about 45 seconds, a tray open the CD and I get an error message, there was problem burn your CD, you can try again with another CD, or cancel. I tried with 2 different programs of engraving, Sonic Digital Media Home and CD Burner XP, same thing. I tried 2 different burners, a Sony DRU-840 has and a DVD Super-Multi 16 X on a Compaq SR5613WM, and the same thing happens. I tried both programs with two burners with the same result. I did a full check disk, including scanning for and attempt recovery of bad sectors and a disk defragmentation. Always the same thing. I tried 3 different brands of media, still no CD. Anyone has an idea on what's going on?

  Well, it doesn't seem to be a problem.  The problem is that all displayed disks are old and it could still be a bad drive.

  In addition, being that the computer in question is 2006 it could just be that the interface for the player is bad.  The SR1901WM is a technical computer limited, but it should still be able to burn a CD.  If the means to burn it on a CD are necessary, in this old computer, I would first try another IDE port for the DVD/CD player see if that's the problem.  A different ribbon cable would be the next option.  Finally, try an external box that can connect the drive or a connector like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-USB-DSC5-3-5-Inch-Converter-Adapter/dp/B000HJ99DI

  If the last option is chosen, then all mentioned discs can be checked to see if one of them works, or borrow another drive to the test.  Then report on the results.
