Desktop Compaq Presaro CQ5110Y: replace a fan in compaq presario

Hello!

I'm trying to change a 80mm fan in my Compaq computer. The fan I want to change, I believe, is called the CPU fan. It has a lever at the side and 4 screws holding down.

My question is the following: that I need to move the lever on the side of the fan in order to get the fan to the top and go ahead to remove the screws or do I just remove the 4 screws? Also, how can I remove the screws taking into account the uncomfortable position they're in? 

(I worked on trying to remove the screw; however, it is difficult to maneuver the screwdriver at the top of the screws to remove.) It is that part of the case of fan above the screw makes it necessary to place the screwdriver on the side to remove the screws).

Thank you for your response.

A diameter more small phillips head screw drive must be used, straight down into the hole over the screw.

  • How to reset market password on desktop compaq presario 5204

    I was given your desktop compaq presario 5204 a couple of years. I have never tried to use it until today so I can't ask the person who gave me the password.  When I try to start it I get a screen asking the power on password. How to reset it or remove? I want to donate it to the model railroad Club, I belong to, but it is useless this way.

    Disconnect the PC and open the case. Remove the RTC battery (money and the size of a dime), press the power button. Look near the battery for a jumper labelled clr cmos or something close. Remove the jumper and then put back in the same position.

    Please post your results.

    I couldn't find any information on the motherboard, but it's probably like virtually every other motherboard.

  • Upgrading processor on the desktop Compaq Presario Media Center SR2019UK

    as stated above I'm looking to upgrade and I was wondering what was the taken cpu supported by my motherboard A8M2N - LA. On the motherboard

    specifications page

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00714578

    He mentioned that it supports AMD Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X 2 and Sempron processors. I was wondering if someone could send me a list of the athlon 64 X 2 processors support so I don't end up buying one that does not work...

    I checked the specifications of your computer system, and I see that you can upgrade the processor up to an Athlon 64 X 2 5000. Please contact any of the local stores for the same thing.

    Example:

    AMD Athlon 64 X 2 5000 Brisbane 2.6 GHz, 2 x 512 KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core processor - retail

    Once you buy the processor, please follow the steps in the link given below to replace the processor.

    In addition, if your PC still uses the original PC4200 (533 MHz) DDR2 RAM, I highly recommend to replace

    with more quick PC5300 (667 MHz) DDR2 RAM (1.8 volts).

  • Help! Not clear the system specifications? Desktop compaq CQ5320Y... Want to upgrade CPU

    I have a Presario CQ5320Y desktop computer and I was looking at upgrading the processor to an AMD Phenom II X 4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4 GHz Quad-Core, in the specification system, it says the TDP is 95 Watts, but he has forward processer mentioned, who take 125 watts according to AMD, on the list of upgradable processor. I don't know if I blow on the motherboard or if it is designed to take this particular amoun just for this processor t?  Help!

    Here are the specifications of your desktop Compaq Presario CQ5320Y and its card mother M2N68-(Narra6). Based on the specifications, this model supports the following processors;

    Type of socket: AM3

    TDP: 95 watts

    AMD Phenom II X 4 9xx/9xxe/8xx Quad-Core (Deneb)

    AMD Phenom II X 3 Triple-Core (Heka) 7xx/7xxe

    AMD Phenom II X 2 5xx (Callisto)

    II AMD Athlon X 4 6xx/6xxe (undactylopodite)

    AMD Athlon II X 3 4xx/4xxe (Rana)

    AMD Athlon II X 2 2xx/2xxe (Regor)

    AMD Sempron 1xx (Sargas)

    It's very clear... the system supports a subset of the list up to a maximum of 95 watts. If the CPU is valued at more than 95 watts, it is not supported. In addition, "Black Edition" processors are not listed and therefore are not taken in charge.

  • Compaq presario sr5010nx does not recognize cpu

    Hi guys my dad have a really crappy computer (cannot run the half-life 1) and I want to give him my old (also shitty, but less) which I use no more. I bought a new processor, an intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.80 GHz 2 M 800 MHz processor LGA775 Conroe, which is on the list of caught cpu supported by the motherboard (945GCT-HM (Livermore)) on the website of intel. When I changed the cpu, apply the thermal paste and it started
    I got "ERROR: unsupported processor installed.
    PC will turn off automatically in a few seconds "message and I wonder why it does not work. Is it possible that the CPU is broken? I bought on ebay so it would not be surprising. I also changed the power supply which fried for a 550W and added the new ram, 1 stick of 1 GB and a 2 GB.

    P.S. I asked on another Web site and all they told me is get a better machine, please do not. My father is really not great matches and I don't have the money for her ^^

    Hello @Charlesesteban,

    I understand that you are having problems with upgrading the processor on your desktop Compaq Presario SR5010NX. Well well, according to the HP Support document: upgrade or replacement of the processor you have followed the steps correctly. The TDP for the original and intel processor Core 2 Duo E4300 1.80 GHz 2 M 800 MHz LGA775 processor are the two 65w so this isn't a problem. I suspect that you're right in that the new processor is faulty.

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

  • 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.





    4 safe mode with command prompt - see 'Safe Mode' above.





    5 last known good Configuration (Advanced) - see "repair your computer" above.





    6 start Windows normally - see "Repair your computer" 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:

    http://Paste.Ubuntu.com/16019372/

    http://Paste.Ubuntu.com/16040380/





    The last report ended with the words "start managed to fix...".  You can now restart your computer. "But I always encounter a blank screen (black or blue) when I try to log on to my PC.





    Here are my details of PC, if it is useful:

    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.

  • Compaq Presario SR1150NX: Error, disk Compaq recovery dead

    Hello, I have a desktop Compaq Presario SR1150NX of 2005. Everything works well in it and we emptied dust not for long. But then, one day I went to start it it says a critical system file was missing. I'm confused at first. After half an hour, creating a USB disk only to find it didn't work, I then had to use the Windows XP Recovery Console. Then after I fixed it it still didn't start because it couldint find the file. But when I start the computer, it shows me that, if I press F10, it boots into system recovery mode. OT started and told me that I could boot into windows xp system recovery. But in the middle of this, the computer overheats and shuts down. When I tried to turn it on again it gave me a disc error AND when I boot in recoervy, it's just bluescreens. Now when I turn on the computer, it does nothing.

    Is there any where where I could download a recoervy tool to open the hard drive in order to get the data on the drive and get a new drive? Or get a Windows recovery disc?

    Any help is the Apprecited!

    and connect your hard disk with this adapter to a USB port on your computer.

    When you connect, Windows will ask your permission to run 'check disk' ('CHKDSK') to review and fix any problem of file system.

    I think that the corrupt currently-system files on the hard drive is causing startup problems you reported.

    When I look at the map it reads as follows: Microsoft Basic graphics card.

    I checked for updates and two windows and display card driver back the message that they are up-to-date.

    When I go to the HP site to download a driver, the only driver to my PC is a lightscribe one. Nothing for the graphics card.

    Does anyone know whre I can download a driver to solve the problem, or if there isn't one, how can I get my resolution to be what it was (I don't know what it was but I know that it is not available now).

    Hello:

    The problem you are having is that Windows has installed a generic graphics driver, so you can see the screen and not much more.

    There is no w8.1 or W10 graphics driver for the graphics card to your PC.

    Your model is a desktop Compaq Presario Media Center SR2029UK PC?

    If so, see if you can manually install the latest Nvidia graphic driver and run the W10.

    First of all, download and install this free utility for files.  The 2nd listed file is 64-bit.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    Then download, save, but do not run this graphics driver.

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758/en-us

    After downloading the above graphic driver file, right-click on it and select 7 - Zip from the list of options.

    Have 7-Zip extract of: and leave it to decompress the file in its folder.

    Go to Device Manager, and then click to expand the category of device of graphics cards.

    Click on the graphics card of Microsoft Basic.

    Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.  Select her browse my computer for driver software option and find the driver 7-zip created folder.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the graphics driver installed.

    Restart the PC.

  • the upgrade of processor in compaq presario cq4010f

    I have a desktop Compaq Presario CQ4010F running Windows 7 Home premium 64 with AMD sempiron chip factory, and I want to improve. I checked page plug product and learned that the motherboard is the manufacturer name: Pegatron M2N68 - LA (5 NARRATED), and HP/Compaq name: NARRA6 GL6. Then I checked the processor upgrade information and learned that it supports the image of socket AM2 + AMD Phenom II chip. I bought the AMD Phenom II X 4 940 3.0 GHz true quad design 8.0 MB total cache chip core. I've installed the chip, and while I was there, I added 1 GB of ram (leading to 3 GB total) just to be on the safe side. When I turned on the computer it tells me "unsupported processor' and turns off. I cursed loudly and ran things. Then I put the old chip in the back and it works fine. I checked the BIOS (the BIOS basic version: 6.0 BIOS revision: 5.54).  The new memory appears, so it's true.  I called a local computer repairman who did work for my mother in the past, and he told me that I have to upgrade the BIOS. I went to HP's download page, but there is no update of the BIOS for my machine. Then, I called 1 800 HP customer/tech support number, but had difficulty in communicating my problem because nobody speaks English as a first language. I cursed even louder and expelled more than things. My cat is still in hiding.

    My question: How can I get this chip to work? I really need to upgrade the BIOS? If Yes, where can I get the said upgrade? If this is not the case, how can I get the current BIOS to recognize the new CPU? How to coax my cat (grey and white tiger striped, 2 years, version 4.5) out of hiding?

    Help, please! I want to play Skyrim.

    Thank you!

    You can post a screenshot of what you mean. ?
    There should not be a difference between the two.

    Computers HP don't require processors HP. The processors are manufactured by AMD and Intel.

    Just compare the specifications of each against what you read in the text of presentation upgrade CPU on the portal of the web HP supported on your motherboard.

    If I had problems with my desktop computer and for some reason, I decided to downgrade to Vista, XP.  The installation went fine, everything went smoothly, now are all that seems to require some drivers.  I have a laptop which I use to make this post, any help would be great, maybe instead of links let me know what I need to do before I'm going to play with all sensitive bits.  I'm decently well with computers, I want to just make sure I get the right drivers and installed correctly.  I thank everyone and everything in advance to tide me over.

    Also on a side note, my computer came stock with 1 GB of ram so I put two 1 gig sticks, the system uses them very well, but after that put them in a graphics card in my friend had sent me and everything installed perfectly, after a while I noticed that my computer crashes.  Then it would pretty well whenever I went on youtube completely off and re - turn itself on, but ignore the message "you don't stop your computer properly... I since then he cleaned thouroughly as much as from dust ect and added a longer power ' not a high-powered I think its only 50 or 100 higher than the old, but he still loved to freeze. "   I've been running without the video card about 12 hours, and it has not frozen or shut off yet, after that I installed the xp and others.  So I hope maybe it was some bad files or something, even though I was not able to connect to my ethernet cable to test the way in which it manages the youtube.* *.
