No audio in my Compaq Presario CQ56-can I replace it?

The audio just stopped.  Services troubleshooting, all the rest apparently is OK and the problem does not appear in Device Manager.  Is there a replaceable part?  It is of course just out of warranty.

Hi Helen,

Try the following.

Download Realtek HD Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp50501-51000/sp50720.exe

One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the Realtek audio device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

When you are finished, download and reinstall the Chipset driver at the following link.

Chipset Driver - Windows 7.

Once this done, stop the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the installation of Realtek Audio program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

Kind regards

  • Compaq Presario CQ56: Try to replace the fan, do I need radiator?

    Hello. I am trying to replace my fan it starts to go.

    I need to replace the fan AND the heat sink (they appaear to be attached to another)? Is it possible I could buy just the fan itself, simply remove the old fan heatsink and then attach it to a new fan? Or would remove the damaged radiator? If I can remove it and reattach to another fan how what to do?

    The manual shows the part number is 606573-001, but I can't seem to find where to buy with a heat sink in any case. I find only individual fans and it seems not can I buy it separately the radiator. Where my question.

    Thank you.

    Usually, the fan is held in place with a few screws. Simply remove, remove the fan and replace it with the new fan.

  • Compaq Presario CQ56 - :(wireless Internet problem

    Hey everybody,

    So I just joined here to see if anyone can help with my problem, because frankly, I'm out of options now about two weeks asking friends and colleagues and searching the Internet for answers to similar problems. I tried twice with the information I found on this site for quite some time and it does not work for me!

    In any case, I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop. It has been implemented correctly when I bought it, everything worked perfectly. I managed to catch a virus that prevented me from even turn on my computer (which is strange, because I'm not a fool with computers, and I know what not to do/download sites to visit), so I had to restart my computer to stock, I used my Windows 7 disc, partitions formatted and installed windows again.

    Now, for some reason it doesn't connects wireless Internet. It connects when I have an ethernet cable connected, but it is not all networks, as shown in this screenshot:

    (And also here's a cute Bunny for your pleasure)

    So you see my problem it is very frustrating. I don't know what is the cause, but I guess it must be a driver problem? Which is why I write here, if this is indeed in the wrong section, please accept my apologies.

    Here is an another screenshots that can help, just in case:

    If someone could shed some light on the problem for me, or even to resolve, I'd be very grateful it is extremely annoying. As I said, it works fine when I have my laptop connected to the internet, when I'm in College, but when I come on a weekend, I can't put my laptop, because I only WiFi at home.

    Thanks for reading

    Hayley R

    You are the very welcome, Hayley.

    The problem is that the needs of the wireless (network controller) one adapter driver installed and here is the link for the driver you need.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-107849-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en

    Once you install the driver above, the wireless should work just fine.

    Best regards

When I did, the message continues to appear & the computer is a compaq presario cq56. Could someone tell me what can I do to fix this?

    Mrsbailey,

    I'm sorry for what happened, I don't think you did anything just a crazy accident.

    You'll need to order the factory created to disk for this computer. If you reside in the United States or to the Canada, you can contact HP technical support to the 1-800-474-6836 or if you reside in another country, you can click on this link and then click on your country and the number is provided.

    If you have access to another computer, you can order them online.

    1. click on this link

    2. click on drivers and software

    3. Insert the product number or model number

    4. choose your current operating system

    5 scroll down to "order recovery Media.

    Because you have Windows 8 disk must be there unless the computer is so new that they were not placed on the site yet.

    Please answer as soon as possible.

    Thank you

  • HP compaq presario cq56-115 - dx

    I have a compaq presario cq56 115 - dx unworking. I decided it would be cheaper to just get another phone and put the old hard drive in this document, to recover all my data. I was wondering if this drive would be held also in other models of HP? How would this knowledge. I tried searching on google, but not luck. This hard disk can even go in other models?

    Hi @pressin

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    It's a great place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums Learn how Post and more

    I understand that you have decided to buy a new laptop and want to get the data from the old in the new book.

    Most computer laptop computer laptop are standard size so you shouldn't have a problem with the installation in a laptop, but I would look for one with a second drive Bay.  If you were to install as a boot drive in a new HP notebook that could void your warranty.

    Here is a link to the specifications of compaq presario cq56 115-dx. indicating that it is just a standard portable player.

    You can also find out about installation in an external case as a work around to get the data.

    Good luck!

    Hello:

    You will need to order a set of recovery disks.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

    Or if you can read your Microsoft W7 product key you can make your own windows 7 installation disc.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
