My compaq presario mobo is dead.

Trying to install my hard drives on the computer of the wife (same model with vista home premium; my basic is), but gets a BSOD that I can't read.

Support HP says op not transferable sys - licening questions. But they have no replacement mobo... and I have no money!  ;-)

You can't do what you want to do.

Read this;

If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

A single license is a single Installation.

See you soon.

    Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR1909UK desktop and it is card mother A8M2N-(NodusM). There is a conflict in the two specifications for what CPU socket is actually used. The computer specifications claim a socket 939 CPU, while the motherboard plug State she has a socket AM2. You will need to examine your system to confirm what type of CPU and socket he did.

    It can be difficult to locate a market after motherboard that will meet your needs as AM2 socket 939 about 5 years to 8 years and are several obsolete generation. Check e - Bay or similar in your area for a replacement card which meets you the specifications. Please keep in mind is likely to replace the HP OEM Board on your computer Windows become a "non-genuine" and require the purchase of a new operating system. Note that the recovery discs you created will not be also usable on your computer.

  • Compaq Presario CQ71 Ser: CNF01002QT model CQ71-4142F - Dead - no power supply - does not start - no led

    Hello *. *

    First time here...

    Compaq Presario Notebook Win7 32-bit - 4 GB DDR2, aged about 3 years?

    A customer brought this with virus / malware issues - arranged.

    On start-up, the bios made regular account that the HP OEM battery must renew. Not difficult technical question here.

    Powered on the laptop without the battery and the pc has stopped completely after a few seconds.  No beeps, no LED. Suspecting power, the original showed 19.* * volts. Ok.

    Bidirectional p - s for another check the jack plug connection. No change, tried jumping jack plug connection.

    Out two-way RAM for good, no change.
    Two-way 2032 battery of the bios for good, not change.
    Removed HARD drive, no change.

    Non-powered from DC or battery, depressed and button who was held for at least a minute, without change.

    The bios battery removed for 30 minutes, without change.

    Fan do not get stuck.

    No attached devices.

    Remarkable:

    Without battery : white DC power LED stays on for about 5 seconds. And then off.

    Old battery included: white DC power LED does not illuminate.

    I did not remove the optical drive, because I think it's ok. Works fine (or used to).

    I am familiar with this series of Presario laptops / laptops and while I have tried everything I know, I was wondering if, before I have conviction as having a short-circuit motherboard / failure, is there anything else I can try with this model of HP laptop before I am progressing with the send for repair of component.

    Thanks in advance

  • 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!

    Remove the disk from the desktop.

    Buy

    USB 2.0 for HDD SATA/IDE adapter 2.5/3.5/5.25IN drives w / adapter

    See: http://www.ncix.com/detail/usb2-0-to-sata-ide-drive-adapter-a3-17762.htm

    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.

    Re-connect the desktop "repaired" disk drive, and then try again.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5600F: upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6)

    Hello. I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5600F which took a power surge. I use Windows 10 Pro and I'd like to update the Pegatron M2N68-(Narra5) motherboard M2N68-(Narra6). I saw some of these for the sale of the mobo. Can someone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find the drivers and perhaps installation information. The motherboards I've seen are either used, rebuilt, or "other nine" with no accessories.

    Hi @stan7926,

    Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that you need information on an upgrade of the motherboard of your PC. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    A remarkable work was done by your little research on upgrading motherboard for your desktop PC before you post your question in the forums of HP. It's always a great pleasure to work with tech-savvy and technically customers sounds like you. Kudos to you for this. I am amazed at your technical skills and levels of technical knowledge.

    First of all, the specifications are very clear on the HP website. It supports "M2N68-(Narra5)" with the drivers, BIOS and other updates available on the HP Web site. About the upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6), it may be possible, but before you buy the product, I would suggest that you contact a technician on-site that this motherboard is not listed by HP as a compatible Web site.

    I thank you greatly for posting your question on the forums of HP and for giving us the platform to help you. You are a customer of HP and we greatly thank you for doing business with HP.

    It is important that you are having problems with the bios and driver incompatibilities on the motherboard and windows 10 Therefore, it is recommended that you contact a local technician and check the compatibility of the motherboard before making any attempt to improve it. We cannot have the bios for it and corresponding drivers. Once again, you will need to visit the websites of 3rd party hardware manufacturers to update the bios and other drivers.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes. If it helps, please mark this message as 'accept as a Solution. If you need help, let me know and I will gladly do everything I can to help.

I have tried everything I can think of to get the sound working...

  • Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC: update BIOS for SATA HDD?

    Hi CV Experts.

    In 2004, I bought a HP Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC. Now, leave the original hard drive and I bought a new Seagate 500 GB SATA hard drive. I thought that this would work because the PC MoBo has two SATA connectors. After installation, I noticed the drive is not detected. I checked the BIOS but not hard listed. The installed BIOS is "BIOS Award BIOS Core Version 6.0 revision 3.10 26/07/2004.» What can I do? Is there a BIOS update available?

    Help, please!

    Do more research on this issue, I think that this motherboard may not have native support SATA. You can use ports SATA via Windows after you have installed the necessary drivers. I suggest that you add a primary as hard drive IDE PATA drive and load Windows. Post windows installation, install the necessary SATA drivers and plug the secondary drive SATA for use as a hard disk.

    I'm sorry for all of the early confused communications.

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s3505f: HP Pavilion Slimline s3505f & COMPAQ Presario CQ5110F

    Hello
    I learned a lot from browsing these forums already, for that I thank you.
    It seemed like the perfect place for my questions.
    Due to the limits of my technical knowledge and the age of the components in question, I'm having a hard time finding Info for comparison for the task I have in mind.
    Essentially what I would do, is make the best targeted computer audio I can with what I have on the spot.

    Ideally, I would like to be able to use 2 monitors and use the second HD as slave for just load and run samples and VSTi, while programs are on the other hard drive.
    Okay, so I have two desktop computers, each with a bit of a problem...

    * COMPAQ Presario CQ5110F (2008ish)
    Processor AMD Athlon X 2 7550 Dual Core 2.5 GHz = Socket: AM2 +.
    Card mother = Narra5 M2N68 - THE Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 Socket: AM2 +.
    Memory RAM = 4 GB RAM DDR2 DIMM PC2-6400 MB/s
    = Video/graphic card nVidia GeForce 6150SE integrated graphics
    Sound/Audio = Audio integrated Realtek ALC888S
    Hard = 320 GB SATA 7200 RPM drive
    CD/DVD Player = DVD +/-R / RW 16 X SuperMulti SATA drive
    OS = Vista Edition Windows Home Premium SP1
    Power = 300w
    Case = Mid size 38cmHx17cmWx43cmL ATX

    * HP Pavilion Slimline s3505f (2008ish)
    Processor = Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.6 GHz Socket type: 775
    Card mother = type of Irvine w/GeForce 7100/nForce 630i CHIPSET Socket: 775
    Memory RAM = 3 GB PC2-6400 MB/s supports up to 4GB (2GB DDR2 DIMM)
    Video/graphic = integrated with GeForce 7100 graphics
    Sound/Audio = Audio integrated Realtek ALC888S
    Hard = 640 GB SATA 7200 RPM drive
    CD/DVD Drive = drive SuperMulti 16 X DVD +/-R/RW LightScribe SATA
    Memory = 15-in-1 multimedia card reader card reader
    OS = Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
    Power = 160w
    Case = Slimline 28cmHx11cmWx35cmL

    Specific details: The Pavilion Slimline currently does not start any type of display, so I'm leaning towards a Mobo problem, but have not spent anytime understand? The Presario was a 'noise' the other day according to my wife, but doesn't have a car, I'm leaning towards a rattle HD or a fan?

    I'm uncomfortable, disassembly, cleaning and reassembly of components.
    I also agree with doing a clean OS install if it is meant to be of value, (where are these records?)
    I would use Interface Audio USB Steinberg CI1 MixCraft 6 as my program main recording/editing.

    Band in a box will also use.
    I currently use these programs/interface with my Acer laptop but have thought of a room dedicated music computer and these computers are available.
    If I've left out the relevant details, please let me know.
    Thank you for your time and information in advance.
    See you soon!

    I would like to start with load Presario noises.

    Try the steps in reduction of heat inside the computer to avoid overheating

    Computers may have a PCI Express x 16 type 1 cards added to have two monitors. You should be able to add a second drive, according to the free power cable.

    The HP Pavilion Slimline do you hear the fans and HDD to start?

    Is there a flashing light or sound? If so, what is the model?

  • Compaq presario owner, who lost recovery discs

    Hi, a friend who bought a new v2000 Compaq Presario back in 2005/6 should reinstall its OS XP home.  He has no recollection of any recovery disks and there is no partition recovery using F don't numbers ect.  I said maybe we could buy a new copy of XP home on ebay however, the number of sticker COSTS on the back of his laptop computer also appears in the BIOS, before spend us money on a drive someone can confirm that it will work on the assumption that the seller provides us with a COA sticker and license number?

    We tried HP/Compaq and they use now a third party (best2serve?) to solve questions of guarantee such as recovery discs, despite the many requests for assistance so that their web site seems to just be dead in the water.  My friend is willing to pay for drives but does not have to be from his pocket a copy of mickey mouse that is missed, it is not the kind of guy who wants to be illegal ect, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

    This site has a recovery disc for your computer http://www.restoredisks.com/default.aspx never used them but apparently they are reliable.  You may need to use the OEM key on the bottom of the laptop to activate so you make sure you get the correct version.

  • Compaq Presario CQ57-339wm: I can swap different CPU into a model motherboard Celeron?

    Hey all,.

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ57-339wm requiring a logic board replacement. According to the sticker on the Palm, it has an Intel Celeron processor clocked to Interior.

    According to the CQ57, the motherboard service manual I ordered (reference number: 646177-001) is "for use only with the computer models equipped with an Intel Core i5 or i3 processor processor and a graphics subsystem with UMA video memory.

    Since I have a Celeron CPU and motherboard instead, would replace this motherboard for the work of the Board of Directors i5? I think that the mobo, I ordered does not include a processor i5, just the current Board. I could swap the chip Celeron of the old Council to the Board of Directors i5, or that wouldn't work either? I have to install a compatible rod that matches the part number of the old mobo? (646174 001).

    If it won't work, I return to the Commission, as I have not yet opened and order a compatible card. Moreover, if the installation of the Board of Directors will work, and I just need the compatible CPU, I could order one that would correspond to the reference, like this eBay i3.

    "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." -Issac Asimov, from its roman Foundation.

    I think that you understood. The Celeron and Core Intel models use a different motherboard with a different chipset and processors cannot be exchanged.

  • Compaq presario C700 (C750EL): SSD info and motherboard

    I have a C750EL with T8100 processor and 3 GB of RAM, BIOS F.35

    I would like to know if it is possible to install a SSD HDD into the WiFi slot (mini PCIe, right?)

    my intention is to put a SSD quick 32-64 GB with operating system to boot from instead of internal WiFi and maintain my 250 GB SATA HD for data.

    someone has the manual of the motherboard with features complete? (not the simple maintenance manual)

    I can't find any doc on this mobo from 30 9 HP...

    I would like to install also the internal camera... any info?

    Thanks to all you guys

    The SSD into the slot wireless cannot be done. The slot is solely for a wireless card only. Even if an SSD in this location would be "mount" (it will not) it will not be bootable.

    HP does not have a manual of the complete motherboard available. The best thing that it would be maintenance and Service of Guide.

    Your only way to add an SSD is the 2.5 inch SATA variety, and you could put a second hard drive in an optical bay adapter. I think that your optical drive is mini-IDE but if it is not the fastest thing, probably ATA-33.

    You must remove the hard drive and get a hard drive of the computer laptop usb adapter and plug it into another computer to copy and paste the files that you want on the other computer.

    Here is the Manual:

    Your manual

    Remove the hard drive appears on pages 2-9 to 2-10

    This is the kind of card you need:

    With an external box that you can use the drive as a portable storage drive after you delete the files you want or keep stored on the old disk of the laptop.

    Problem 1: BIOS hangs at startup

    Problem 2: If the MESSAGE is finished, Windows crashes at startup (Vista blocking at the mobile bar)

    What I tried:

    1 memory module checked. Tried different RAM module.

    2 checked hard drive for errors - Self Test passed.

    3 flashed the BIOS with the latest Firmware.

    Solved!

    The problem was with supply management power to the motherboard. I took it to a service person and he said it's a common problem with Compaq V6000 laptop /V3000 of the series... He solved the problem in 30 mins by replacing the chips... Too bad I spent several weeks on troubleshooting the problem myself.

    I hope that this post will help someone...
