No sound on computer PORTABLE Compaq Presario 1200 (12XL512)

I recently bought a Presario brocante 1200 (12XL512) notebook, when it arrived it had Windows XP Home installed. After some checking, I realized that I had no sound, even if Device Manager shows everything OK.

I then installed a XP Pro and updated to SP3, once again no sound, but showing all the drivers o.k.If I move the volume slider I hear temporarily, but once I stop this sound going again.

After searching all over the net, I found there are others with the exact problem, including the volume slider thing.

From what I understand, that I need a different driver, although one that I showed it is OK.

I tried the Driver Detective 2009 registered version, and that shows once again all drivers up to date, but still no sound.

I live also chatted with HP last night, and all they could say was change the laptop to its original operating system was Windows Millennium.

But I don't have the software for it and to be honest would'nt want to for obvious reasons.

So nobody knows how to solve this problem, or know the right driver and where I can get it.

Just say thank you to Daniel & Mariza, for help with this issue.

But have now opted for the easy out, way could not solve the driver problem.

For all those out there who struggle with sound as if I was, you can buy a USB sound card and you'll instantly have sound.

This is a simple dongle with Mic & headphone/speaker output, plug & plays no need for drivers, etc.

I paid 3.00 pounds for mine (UK seller), but the same thing has been less than 1.00 pound (which includes shipping) if bought from China.

    mother of laptop Compaq presario CQ71

    I have a question an abot in Selangor, this motherboard.

    the graphics chip is separate or integrated.

    My cq71 crashed and stopped working continuous overheating by weak graphics.

    so ive decided to spend the whole motherboard.

    but I need to know to or if I could spend graphics.

    I have already upgraded to the ram for the future graphics card integrated.

    also additional guides on how to pass map main would be apprteciated.

    No RAM, but you would like to install a better processor, too. Look at the manual for CPU options. They will be pretty inexpensive at this stage. You should also another radiator/heater unit to work with the different video chip. But it adapts to your chassis. The only way to look at this case if you do your own work. Otherwise, the cost will approach the price of a new laptop computer. Even do your own work that you will probably have to spend more than $150.

  • Validation in XP pro on a computer problem compaq presario v2000 laptop

I use a key for XP pro on a dead computer I have and the transfer of the key on this laptop. I'm trying to download and install updates. I get the screen saying I'm not using a valid copy of windows.

  • Upgrade laptop computer processor Compaq Presario CQ57

    Hi I'm looking on youtube for hours and can not find a guide on how to find processor and replace it someone could give me a step by step on how to do.

    This is an Adobe product, if you look at the bare minimum CPU it takes to run it it says 2.0 GHz.

    http://www.Adobe.com/CA/products/premiere-elements/tech-specs.html

    So with your current system, you would need to upgrade to your processor.

    Here's your guide to maintenance and service.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02948186.PDF

    If you look on pages 19 and 20, it shows what will work, but you also need to install a different heatsink of heat/cooling assembly if you move to an i5 (not so easy to find).

    Even if you improve things in general, I think your machine is going to be difficult to run any sort of video editing software, you can consider a better machine.

    You can download any Adobe product and use their free trial version and make sure.

  • Compaq presario v6210US white screen

    I have a "compaq presario v6210US', which worked great for a while, then it just stops and restarted and the screen remained black. Now it keeps restarting itself, but the screen remains blakc. I can hear the fan and hard drive and any other works the way it's supposed to. I've heard tell that this has happened to a bunch of other people then it sounds like a defect to me. How do fix or do I just remove the hard drive, launch the Presario and get a mobile phone competitors?

    Hello @Sachmo499 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand your laptop keeps restarting and shows a black screen.

    Here is a great place to start the troubleshooting of starting on a laptop:

    Computer does not start and the lights blink or the computer will beep.
    Troubleshooting of the black screens with no start-up or start-up error message.
    Tests of hardware failures (Windows 7, Vista) or hardware failures (Windows 8).

    If you want laptop startup problems or black screen, regardless of the brand, you will find this number in the world. Currently, there is no recall for this product.

    If you have the laptop repaired I would say asking HP telephone support options service/repair. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    If you want to remove the HARD drive and connect it to another computer to back up your information, you can follow this guide: PC portable Compaq Presario V6000.

    Hope this helps!

  • Questions about upgrading a Compaq Presario CQ5205Y desktop computer system

    Good evening

    I'm about to embark on my first serious upgrade of my computer, and I thought it would be a good idea to arrive before I get too far down the rabbit hole (and knocked out my Internet access).  What motivates the need to upgrade, it's that the system tends to lag when I programs using a lot of memory running and I think I can give him a decent boost on reasonably low budget.

    I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5205Y Win7-64 bit without modification until running.  I'm lookin to upgrade the CPU and the RAM of the machine.  For ease of reference, here is the page describing the system:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01859812&lang=en&cc=us&Conte...

    For the CPU, I found a good price on an AMD Phenom X 4 9750 2.4 GHz Quad-Core CPU (HD9750WCJ4BGH).  What I read, it meets the necessary criteria (socket AM2 + 95W, etc.).  I still need to determine if it needs a fan or non - language marketing indicates that it is not), but assuming that it works, here are my questions for this update:

    1 should I update the BIOS on the card, or change one of its parameters to recognize the new chip?

    2. with regard to the installation, I think that it's pretty simple - unlock/remove the Semprom LE-1300 that is there now, carefully align the new processor Phenom X 4 (Golden to golden triangle triangle) and tighten in place. Then, if necessary, install the fan/radiator.  Is this correct, or am I missing something important and potentially catastrophic?

    For the RAM, I have not bought, but I think I need barrettes 2x2gb DDR2 memory unbuffered, non - ECC memory.  I'm showing my ignorance here, but I imagine that rain is better in this case and is much better than the PC2-5300 memory PC2-6400.  If Yes, then maybe something like (or more affordable if I can find it):

    http://www.TigerDirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6252562&CSID=_61

    Once again, a couple of very similar questions:

    1. do I need to change BIOS settings after I installed memory or if the automatic detection system?

    2. I swapped memory on other computers before so I guess that this motherboard is always the same - unclip/dethrone the existing memory, slide into the new and snap it in place.  Does this sound right?

    In my view, which covers everything I know, but if anyone has any other advice or warning indication, they would certainly be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for help a beginner brave new waters.

    Processor:

    (1) no updated BIOS available for this model

    (2) more or less correct... you will need a HSF (heatsink & fan) for the new processor and a thermal paste. After the installation of the CPU, you apply the thermal is dedicated to the then install the HSF. The stock will be Sempron HSF to adapt and work but can not dissipate the extra heat

    (3) it is one of these models that will accept AM3 Athlon II and Phenom II CPU (see CPU upgrade in specs), but if it is supported depends on the revision of the motherboard and the BIOS version. Your choice of Phenom 9750 is a sure way to go

    Memory:

    (1) once again, no BIOS update available for this model

    (2) sounds right

    (3) you can look at Newegg.com best prices
