• Ports on Compaq CQ61 laptop.

  Recently I plugged in a device with the normal USB plug into a socket (port) on my machine. Routine enough, but this time a message came in saying that "the dongle will run faster if it is connected to a hi-speed port." Check the info seems to tell me about the (apparently 6) ports on my machine. To my knowledge there are only three. What I'm missing here?

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  I use a Compaq CQ61 laptop, model 416SA, Windows 7.

• HP Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop: no sound after installing the Vista SP2

  After installing SP2 on my new laptop, I found, on my version check, he did not mention SP1 as having been installed/added.

  Then I tried to UNINSTALL SP2, or take the computer to a previous restore point, as the problem of "NO SOUND" (confirmed by a small circle of Red containing a white "x" icon of speakers [IDT High Definition Audio CODEC] located at the bottom right of the laptop screen may have been caused by adding SP2 without previously installing SP1)

  .

  I discovered that there is no previous restore point (it's a new laptop) - so I can't RESTORE to AN EARLIER DATE of TIME and I have not the slightest idea how to UNINSTALL SP2 - on windows xp I could have just do it through the CENTER OF CONTROL and ease "Add or remove programs.

  • According to the Sound Devices device manager both work properly i.e. the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and the Intel(r) High Definition Audio HDMI - although I did not understand why I have two devices here, (maybe cos I tried default return of windowsn na sound?

  I guess I could use the back to factory State cd to get her back, once again on my laptop, but I hope that I don't need to do.

  Any suggestions please, because I feel a frustrated mite.

  Hi teacher Cheryl

  Thanks for your reply.

  However, I cannot locate the page you are talking about.

  I seem to have lost in these areas (see * below)

  It seems to be all kinds of pages to do with the support of drivers, updates, but do not know which one to use to do a download of the update that I seems to require (assuming that I don't already have).

  I found what seems to be the driver of Audio concerned especially for the particular model, but do not know if it is the version of correct i.e.latest of the driver or how to download.

  The details are:-

  "The software and the following drivers are compatible with your product and the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system

  ' Pilot - AudioDateVersionPreviousSize' IDT High-Definition Audio CODEC Driver 04 - 20096.10.6159.0 A ' Version: 21,02'

  Also, when I click on "Open Volume Mixer at the foot of the screen, it says"no audio device is installed"

  * I am new to both Vista and HP Care advise and indeed on the Forum.

• Part of my screen is become white (Compaq presario CQ61)

  It happened all of a sudden, that a large part of my Compaq presario CQ61 laptop screen has become white. It looks like the image as an attachment. Can someone help me solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

  This is how my screen looks like

  Well, it can be difficult to tell exactly how damage happens on the screen.  But there is no need to be something as obvious as a fall. Sometimes, it will put pressure on the screen - stacking heavy objects on top of the laptop or by closing the form while there is a pen on the keyboard are things that can damage the screen. The problem might not appear immediately - it can take some time for the liquid flow through small cracks in the inner layer of the screen.

• Wireless disconnects if unity CQ61 left idle for more than 5 minutes

  Hi, I have a HP Presario CQ61 laptop with an Atheros AR9285 wireless adapter. When the laptop is more like 5 minutes of inactivity, wireless adapter loses the connection to the wireless router. Then I have to reconnect to what can take a long time to do - it's faster restart the laptop.  Changed no settings. Any suggestions?

  At a prompt, in the box start the search, or in the run box, type the following command:

  MMC devmgmt.msc

  Go to network and expand it.
  Select the Atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter.
  Right-click and select Properties.
  Go to the power management tab.
  Uncheck both check box.
  Click OK, and click OK.

  This should solve the problem.

• but my tag with a key number has been deleted

  I have a Compaq presario CQ61 laptop but my hard disk is damaged, I bought a new one, try to install vista but my tag with a key number has been cleared. How can I RECOVER my key for vista

  Contact HP/Compaq and order a set of recovery disc for your computer - you can then install with those who, as they should not ask for a key. No one wants a register key your computer came with, except you.

• The U2412M will operate using a HDMI cable to DVI?

  Hello

  I am struggling to find a definitive answer to this question. I'm in the market for a new monitor and Dell U2412M seems perfect for my needs.

  I use a Compaq CQ61 laptop at work which has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4200 with outputs HDMI and VGA graphics card. I am aware that VGA is less than digital connections, so I would like to connect the monitor using HDMI output from my laptop via HDMI > cable DVI to DVI - D monitor entry. I came across online discussions indicating that HDMI is limited at 1920 x 1080 on most devices, so I hesitate to buy the U2412M if I'm not going to get maximum performance. Other discussions claim that it's all nonsense and manufacturers do not know what they are talking about.

  A HDMI to DVI - D cable dual link (like this http://www.ebuyer.com/130513-xenta-gold-plated-hdmi-to-dvi-d-dual-link-cable-black-2m-plex-034) connect the monitor to my laptop HDMI output and display the full resolution of 1920 x 1200?

  For all of you who may wonder that in the future, I just got my U2412M as a double link base (don't know if it's important but it's better safe than sorry) dvi to hdmi cable from amazon and my laptop instantly recognized the monitor to complete resolution of 1920 x 1200, despite the specifications of manufacturers for my graphics card indicating that the hdmi output has a resolution of 1080 max , so the rumors are true - the manufacturers specifications can only be invoked!

  The screen is fantastic, thank you!

• Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC Freeze issues

  Hello everyone

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC running on Windows 7 Home Premium. The laptop freezes at random times, sometimes minutes after use or an hour after use. It does not result by clicking on a program or a file. I have printing freeze the problem may be caused by the failure of the hardware, possibly the HARD drive.

  Here are a few observations from the laptop and the things that I tried to diagnose or repair.

  • During a typical blocking the HDD LED light is always on
  • Also had the blue screen and freeze black screen
  • No error message
  • Hard disk becomes very hot
  • Entered the BIOS and run automatic test of the primary hard drive and memory Test using InsydeH20 Setup utility but it went together.
  • Laptop computer has been completely reset to factory settings so it is impossible due to the high utilization of the processor
  • Idle while the CPU usage is generally of the order of 13%-25%, with a peak of rare of 53%
  • The hard drive is a Western digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 2.5 "SATA

  The laptop is not used so wiping back to settings to original wasn't a problem, but I would like to return to a usable level.

  Thanks for any help you could offer

  Mike

  I was certain insistence autour in my computer and I'm done to restore back to factory settings. So far, it has not frozen and seems to work properly.

  I tried updating the BIOS with HP Support Assistant, but it does not work. Hoping to solve the problem I went online and updated my support Assistant. After this success, I then managed to download the BIOS from internet F.15 version I was also looking for. Everything seems to work quite fine at the moment, although there are a few updates to Windows that will not be installed. The progress bar shows the animation download but the installation hangs at 1 / 8. Some items are classified as "recommended" or "important" so any help with this problem would be immensely appreciated!

• Laptop hardware failure, no bios, on Presario CQ61 unknown error code

  Hello

  I have a presario CQ61-417SA, a little more than two years. Work is to put and received persistent of the flashing lights on the locking caps and num lock keys only. The lights flash continuously and therefore does not seem to correspond with any one of the error codes provided by the HP support pages.

  I tried:

  Check the fans for excessive heat (seems normal)

  Remove the RAM and swap ram slot positions

  Replace the RAM with new ram

  Remove and re insert a hard disk to see if any changes

  Attempted to reboot the system BIOS using the windows + B key as is described in the hp support no chance

  Remove the WIFI to achieve was not causing problems

  Replace the battery of the BIOS with a working version

  Checked the laptop computer charger with a multi meter, is perfect

  Tried with and without the battery to ensure this causing problems wasent

  However I still not got lucky. Im a little annoyed about how the laptop isn't really that old and that the guarantee is over, so there is not much I can do without having to pay a lot of money.

  I took a few laptops out and so im happy to do things myself, and would appreciate any guidance or advice you may have.

  Thanks for your time

  Ben

  Sorry for not updating. I found the problem.

  The heat sink had never touched the gpu and there seems to be one problem with other laptops hp and compaq (and other laptop manufacturers). Thermal paste had not yet touched the gpu, it looked fresh as if it had been the same day. I suppose therefore that solder joints had melted from the heat.

  The way I fixed it is probably not recommended by HP (I don't think anyone should really do, its dangerous, and you should really buy a new motherboard). I took all of the motherboard all stickers, battery, whatever it is removable. Then put in the oven at 200 ° c for 8 min let weld refuses or get a proffessional do it with a real soldering tool. You then put a piece of copper between the radiator and the gpu to make it work. (I have this and its broke again) so the time to get a new laptop.

  I think this question shows terrible production and control of this piece of hardware that have produced as his obvious fault that they should do something to fix in new laptops and the HP and compensate its customers with laptops like mine repair parts that now have to buy a new because of the guarantee short and overpriced.

• Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

  In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

  Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

  1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

  2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

  3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

  Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

  If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

  Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!
