Compaq Presario turns on but not start

Product: HP Compaq Presario
Model: SR5250NX
OS: Windows Vista

Symptoms: When you press the power button, all the lights come on as expected. However, a slight popping noise that sounds as if it is coming from the hard drive will ensue. The monitor, mouse and keyboard are not recognized despite being plugged in, even if the speakers are always lit. It is a problem, I am back after a journey of four days out of town, and I heard the internal fans speed up just from time to time for months. I guess this thing is fried, but I hope it can be fixed. Thank you.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62-412NR does not start. Caps lock flashes.

    The LED caps lock flashes repidadly with long breaks between each blink, the wireless light and constant and the adapter LED is steady. I read blink codes and determined, he was the processor, but the problem persists after him substituting a known good. I finished the resets power to clear the bios before and after the change of the CPU. I also tried to replace the RAM. Anyone here have a clue whats going on?

    This looks like a problem with the motherboard if you already replaced the CPU and RAM.

    It would be probably cheaper to replace the unit at this time only so, fix it or replace the motherboard.

    Perform a hard reset on the phone. To perform a hard reset, follow the steps below

    • Unplug the PC laptop AC adapter
    • Remove the battery from the laptop compartment
    • Disconnect external devices or devices connected to the laptop. Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds
  • Sound card is enabled but not started

    Having problems with Windows XP Home Edition.  No card sound or sound card is enabled but not started.

    I tried Windows XP, but when the page is loaded the responses do not carry on XP?

    A. reinstall or update drivers for your sound card. Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

    http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor
    http://www.gtopala.com/ - System Information for Windows

    B. Si the fact of the above does not work, your sound card may be dead. If you have a desktop computer, uninstall the old card and put in a new its PCI card. It is very costly, less than $25 for a base. If you have aboard, first disable it in the BIOS.

    If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • No sound, Windows audio services is 'Automatic' but not 'started '.

    My PC runs Windows 7 (Vista upgrade) has a sound card, downloaded the newest manufacturer of PC sound card driver.

    Using "services.msc" and then found Windows audio services is set to "Auto" but not "started".

    Then click on this point, a new window appears which does not have a button 'START '.

    After pressing 'START' and then he said "failed to start audio service of windows on a local computer.

    "1068" error code

    ===========================================

    There is a program that can fix it: but do not know how much it costs, and if it works.

    Thank you

    PS: I forgot the the 'password of the administrator", I bought this computer and I'm the only one using this computer.

    The suggested solutions for trying, shouldn't the password, because I won't be able to try.

    Update: tried "System Restore", he said that the system restore does not work correctly.

    I've been using other computers within the home and have not used this computer for a long time after the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

    There are a lot of suggestions, I tried it (suggested by someone here). :

    Define 'multimedia class Scheduler' to 'automatic '.

    Set the 'Plug and Play' to 'automatic '.

    Restart the computer, then checked "Windows Audio services.

    now, he says "Started" and "automatic".

    It works fine now.  Sound is back.

    Thank you very much.

  • Compaq Presario SR2010NX beep code error starting: longbeeppausecontinuinglongbeepspausebetweeneach

    Hello.  My Compaq Presario Desktop PC SR2010NX of 2006 began just not start.  It gives me a sound code of long beeps that accompany pause after each beep and continue indefinitely.  I have tried convenience cheques, and it looks as if it was the 'memory '.  My question, FEI's memory, what cards are hardware compatible with my PC.  I had a breakdown.    to install a new set of 2 GB cards in July - and I had technicians immediately reinstall my old 2 cards (issued factory) replacement cards they have advised me to buy are not compatible, and when I went to pick up my computer, the computer would not start.  I have askede to reinstall my old cards and the computer booted suceesfully, and I left the store!  I am sure that I do not know what new products could be compatible with my old PC.  I thhink 4 GB is too myuch for my computer, and he couldn't get half that - but what brand should be like new hardwrae?  I wasn't expecting my old cards fail when they were resettled - three months since the change of memory attempt - thre months they started normally.  They have been re-hurriedly harnessed and dismissed the case, and then I left the store.  (The tech threatedned me with fear of "motherboard failure", which just made get the computer and leave immediately.  The old cards cannot have been relocated safely.  I'm taking it - but I will not be pushed around.  Of course - as old as mine PC would gradually motherboard failure.  Until it fails.  It was the memory card, but what woud cards my PC take that would be accepted as new hardware and allow my PC to boot up normally, if it is the cards and not yet the motherboard?

    I have now read the post with indicator on the upgrade memory.  It was very useful, and I wrote notes for the Presario.

    It says, maximusmis 2 GB to 1 GB cards/no stamped with the form of the data of motherboard page.

    It is divided between 2 cards 512 MB factory.  It has only 2 slots.

    Thank you.  My Compaq desktop computer has grown on me.  I got Vista bfore and I didn't know what I think.  If it can be repaired, I think 8 years (purchase date 4 November 2006) were fun for the low-end model.  It was a good choice, and I have never regretted buying at what cost.  It was better than expected.

    I haven't used my Compaq Presario continually over the past eight years - that's why it lasted so long!  Dud ut do work, however.  I had retirement is put online last year

    I liked HP Photosmart first 6.5 photo editing.  I liked Wordpad.  Mechanically, it was scientifically.  The material began to go when the built-in CD/DVD internal drive has failed.  I bought and had a replacement (DVD player (cd) internal HP) installed in July 2014.

    The new internal DVD writer HP compatible service pack XP? I have SP2) - I don't think it's about compatible new material.  This caused unable to start new businesses after three months?  New feature of device recognistion and old motherboard? Don't know?  (short circuit)?  I left the old CD/DVD recorder factory in its case - it's there and the springs are working to open and close the casing and check it / A short?  Don't know anything about electric

    Another point, when the original memory card 512 MB on factory 2 cards have been resettled, he was press-technicians to get the computer to boot - so the computer's case has been closed.   (I took the PC on their part awqay as fast it was closed upward).  I thought safe in maintaining clips?  Maybe not securely harnessed.  Could also be from the old factory of 512 memory cards in each clip spare wedge - to alternate which card and which support clip.  I have not tried this or re-cutting to the place of repair.  (I do not have any technical installation and not have ny contact danger here - I do not touch the computer).  It is the matter of repair - these people in a hurry, they sell - they tell you something will work, they overtest, they overdiagnose - they push you autour-yyou never recover your computer to use as is - it is disturbing to go, if you are not a consumer savvy or technical.

    May not be able to take new material old = change motherboard in chipsets, etcs. features.

    Ialso had an error saying years only. IPC Port would not work.  (. COMI is the base model for the CPA called Palm Zire Hotsync Manager.  I don't think the Palm Zire software uninstalled iI, and the message is a (!) origin unknown error message is:. COMI, has failed to initialize.  It's a pop-up error message appeared during the startup process.  The repair people off the message.  The boot has been at once - disconnect - the plugin twice and electric start.  It was based on the plug in the socket, removed and reconnected before the start =.  Technicians tried to solve this problem, but it is not important from my point of view.  All of those, cumulatively, could be symptoms of a hardware change progressive until the end of the use of PC - they are all could be chips card mother falling out or something there (the CD player, the.) Port COMI - don't know about the real, even if start program - which can only be that.)

    I tried the power reset function discussed in the Troubleshooting Online Web pages - 5 seconds to reset, / 15 seconds to reset - power off (unplugged) and hold the power button / stop without plug-in for 5 or 15 seconds (depends on the Web page of the online manual!)  Once, after an attempt to reset of fifteen seconds, the computer has no beep, and he almost made a second rumble noise - but then no change afterwards.  The redonnee start-up sound code beep after that the computer was turned off and then restarted again.

    PC is sitting in his corner.  I don't want someone break while I think about what to do.  He's going nowhere right now.

    This is the first time, it would not start.  I am a bit worried and disappointed, but, I know that my PC is old, and one day, it will fail to work.  That is the reality.  If it fi fixable, I'm interested to hear about the fit-it.  Thanks again.

    Hello @lliil,

    I read what you posted and it seems that you have a hardware problem with your computer. The only thing I can do for you is to provide you with the HP support document: BIOS Beep Codes, which will help you to correctly identify what's wrong with your computer. Given the age of the computer apart from this if you want to know if it can be fixed, I recommend do you get into a local computer repair shop and let them take a look.

    I hope I helped. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Compaq presario co50-210us - fail to start

    We have a laptop Compaq Presario CO50-210US, yesterday, the screen started to decrease in intensity, and access to programming or internet became slow. Finally, the screen went black and the computer turns off.  Since then, any attempt to power on the results of the computer in the 3 in the FRONT lights flashing 3 times and then nothing.  Power supply is correctly attached and plugged and a hard reset didn't help, and I don't see any other options.  I recently used can air and blew out the dust of all openings, I could find including remove the panels for access to the disk modules and hard memory. This computer has a history of heat so much that he stopped in the past, and re - start not only cooled, (half an hour or more), even though he is sitting on a cooling block at any time.

    Any suggestions on what to do next? And what does the blink code mean?  Any help will be welcome.

    Solution:

    Apparently, the three flashing lights mean 'wall charger is DEAD, and the battery is empty.  Bought and plugged a new charger and the computer works as before.

  • Power supply is turned on, but not fans.

    I have a Gateway with Vista Home 5478. My power supply is on, but the vista system will not start. The power light is on, but that's all. I also noticed that all fans, including the fans inside my diet, are dead. I changed power supplies, increased from 400 to 430 watts, and it has not changed a thing. Is this maybe my motherboard?

    It looks like a hardware problem.

    Contact Gateway if under warranty.

    If this is not the case, contact a local and trusted computer repairman.

    See you soon.

    Question? What computer Dell laptop do you have? A problem on Dell laptops, I discovered is how they have the configuration of the switch without wireless/Bluetooth. What happens when one of the drivers either wireless or Bluetooth out of here that the switch to turn off only turns a large and not the other. What I would say to do is to uninstall your Bluetooth drivers then reinstall the driver from Dell. Make sure that during the uninstallation of turn show devices hidden in Device Manager so you can see all the blue tooth on your system devices. Reinstall after rebooting the computer and make sure that the switch is turned on; After restarting, try to reinstall your Bluetooth devices and see if there detectable.

  • RE: Compaq Presario 732US, NIC does not work after upgrade to Windows XP SP3

    Yes, it's an old.  Compaq Presario 732US - care.  <>

    OK reformatted to give to my sister.  Had to manually installed Windows XP SP2 because the verson reformat is so update the old windows would not work with her.  After graduating on windows, update was very well and made a 140 update article.  Installed everything fine.  restarted and did windows update again and it came with SP3, which has installed fine.  EXCEPT after restarting, my network card went caput.  Said my ethernet is unplugged little matter what I do.

    So I unplug and put in another computer without touching anything and it works fine.  So the problem is with the Compaq Presario 732US.  I guess that I need drivers compatible with Windows XP SP3.

    Any idea where I can get them for such an old laptop?  Which ones to get? If I should take off just SP3 and not to date him? And if the pilots there was even the answer?

    Thank you in advance to any of you out there who can help meh.  :-)

    Try to use Device Manager, right-click the network card and choose uninstall. Restart the laptop to see if XP can install a working driver.
