How can I reset a compaq presario cq60-211dx

How can I reset a compaq presario cq60-211dx to factory settings to remove password...  My son put a password in order to prevent his brother to use his computer... the screen broke and we ended up buying another computer... but now, we have fixed this one, but we tried every password we could think, but no luck... a computer repair technician told me the only way to bypass the password is to reset the computer to factory settings... How can I do this?

  • How can I replace a compaq presario C762NR hard drive and reinstall windows?

    My friend brought me his computer and said that he would not start. I tried to boot into safe mode and normal mode and it would not work. It would simply flash a blue screen and restart. After you run a test it is determined that the hard drive has failed. A new laptop is not an option at this point.

    I bought a new hard drive and I ordered the HP recovery disk. What are the appropriate steps to complete this replacement?

    The computer is out of warranty and so is the hard drive. The computer has Windows Vista on it. The failed hard drive was 160 gb, 2.5 ", SATA 1.5 gb/s, 8 MB cache. The news is the same except that it is SATA 3 gb/s.

    This is my first time, replacing a hard drive. I'm confident about it, but I want to just make sure I do it correctly.

    Hello

    All you have to do after replacing the HARD drive is the following.

    Start Notepad and open the CD/DVD drive.  Insert the first disc of recovery.  Hold the power button until the laptop stops.  Press the power button to start the laptop that should now boot from the recovery disk and start the recovery process.

  • Compaq Presario CQ60-211DX: Compaq Presario CQ60 Motherboard

    Hello!  My wife's cell phone can no longer pull a load of the power supply.  I tried different batteries and bricks of different powers.  Free of charge.  I want to try to replace the motherboard (thinking it is maybe the power supply is not working.)  Can someone tell me what is the correct model number for my motherboard?  I see many there to buy including 498462-001 and 501266-001.  Or the other of them are the right pair?

    Thank you

    Tom.

    Hello

    501266-001 is correct as shown in the following list:

  • Compaitible processors for Compaq Presario CQ60-211DX

    So I plan to upgrade my processor computers for the delay I get (it's a single core Celeron 585 clocked at 2.16 ghz)

    Now I want to upgrade to an Intel Core 2 Duo clocked @ 2.00ghz (7300), that would be defienitly thrust my performance. It has the same socket but I'm not sure what bios go or if its going to work.

    I heard that this laptop supports this series 7xxx and nothing below or above. This is false.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello:

    Because your laptop with a celeron processor, it has the Intel GL40 chipset.

    This means that the best processor you can install is the Pentium T3400, because the GL 40 chipset can run than processors with front side bus to 667 MHz.

    See the manual on the link below, Chapter 1, page 1-1.

  • Presario CQ60-211dx - upgrade CPU T3400; Update Flash?

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-211DX, that has a CPU Intel 585. After reading the forum, I bought a CPU T3400 as an upgrade. Do I need to Flash the BIOS? It is currently updated for the 585, but it will be different for theT3400? If so, I flash before or after you installed the new processor?

    Thank you very much!

    In 585, I assume you mean a Celeron. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    You almost certainly have a GL40 chipset Board and the T3400 should be a quick replacement.  No need to do anything in the BIOS.

    The T3400 and the 585 have the same cache, run at the same speed. I don't know how much improvement you will achieve, but I guess that saw 2 cores can be worth.

    Hi realpommy. If you encounter problems with HDMI output and let Windows determine the pilots, who could be part of the issue.  First of all try to install these Windows 7 drivers provided by HP for your laptop: NVIDIA nForce Chipset MCP77MV graphics drivers

    After installation and reboot, if you still have problems with video output look in Device Manager, to ensure that there is no error, or "unknown devices".  The section "Understanding of the symbols of error Device Manager" in this document:
    Information from the Device Manager in Windows 7 to illustrate some possible errors.

    If there is no error in Device Manager, do through these documents for more information and the last for troubleshooting ideas:
    Connection of a monitor, projector or a TV (Windows 7)
    Overview of HDMI and DVI for PC connections

    HDMI display resolution and problems of his (Windows 7 and Vista)

  • Keyboard and trackpad which does not Compaq presario CQ60

    Help!

    My keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop do not react and do not have external devices to see if it is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Mode safe as the keyboard is unresponsive, however it allows me to type my password to access vista! I think I just lock the computer, but do not know how unlock, various forums have specified relocation drivers etc, but I am unable to do this without functional keyboard and do not know how if I pressed a key combination that caused it. I don't know if it's a problem of Vista or Compaq/HP.

    Immensely from any help appreciated!

    as far as I know, if you can type your password on the login screen, then the keyboard works, if the problem appears after the connection or it will appear when you are on your desktop screen, it may be a problem of operating system or a problem with corruption of user account

    the keyboard would be a hardware failure, if when you turn on your nb, there will be no ligts on the keyboard will make the capslock key does not illuminate or does not at all as long as you turn on the nb

    for the touchpad, try to check if its or disable... If there is a light orange above the touch pad then sound off, toggle the switch the light to turn to blue...

    so before anything else... TRY THIS FIRST!

    1. remove the battery

    2 disconnect the power adapter

    3. no power supply at all, press in and hold the button for 1 min... Be sure that it will be 1 min...

    technically, we call this HARD RESET... This process would free electricity static that could be included on the power button spout these electrostatic charges sometimes causes harware malfunctionalities...

    then it this step does not work... do this...

    try to go into safe mode by continuously pressing F8 during startup (press F8 when you see the hp invent screen), then you will be directed to advance startup options... Choose last known good config... Then, it will boot to the last known good setting...

    Please let me know if this does not work...

    Otherwise, ' choose repair your computer "on the start options... Choose the American keyboard layout... so if asked for a user name and password, you can change the administrator username username and then put your password... If you do not use any password leave it blank... then choose Startup Repair...

    Please let me know if this does not work...

    I hope this helps...

  • Problem with the Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX

    Hello, I'm having a problem with my NEW Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX mother. Every time it boots up vista and I run internet explorer, I get a strange blue screen which exports a file memory and reboots.

    I have the feeling that this might have been caused by a virus, but I can't do something, because Vista can't reformat long for some reason any.

    I tried a hard test in my motherboard and he said that there is something wrong with my hard drive.

    I don't know what is happening, right now I'm in safe mode trying to find viruses that Nod32 does not detect everything.

    Can someone tell me how I can get either the Windows XP Discs to work at startup (which, for some reason, they do not), or an alternative to a long format?

    Is there a way to fix this without reformatting? There's almost nothing on this laptop anyway so I'm always willing to do. A regular format has done nothing to solve the problem, I did it with Ubuntu and it did a quick format, but I had no problem with Ubuntu. Then I reinstall Vista and I am constantly having problems with a blue screen of death.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    The Chemich does not exist

    If you want to do a reinstall of Vista then press F11 continuously during the boot upward. This will bring you in Recovery Options were you can choose to restore the system in the same State as when it was purchased. But if, as you suggested, is that a problem of hard drive reinstall won't help.
