• No disk bootable on Compaq Presario CQ42 problem

  Hello

  I recently came across a problem with my laptop Compaq Presario CQ42-117TX. I had a few regular updates installed and when I tried to restart the computer to complete the update, it starts for a long time then usual before flashing a blue screen for a second and then blacking out.

  When I restarted it again, he said he had no hard drive detected. I ran a check of the system BIOS and he could not run a quick test on the hard drive. When I try to turn it on normally, it goes to a black screen with a few details on the material inside and the last line reading "no bootable disc - insert boot disk and press any key any."

  Any help would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  I don't see any notebooks CQ42-117TX.

  Here's what I noticed that...

• The upgrade of processor and the graph of Compaq Presario cq42-203au

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ42-203AU with AMD processor and graphics. And what I want to ask is, can I upgrade the processor and graphics of my laptop? If it is possible, what is the maximum and graphic compatible processor for my laptop? I thank very you much for your help in advance.

  Hello Netbuckler,

  I understand that you are interested in upgrading the processor and graphics card on your laptop, is that correct? I will try and provide you with information that needed to get there.

  The processor can be improved in this particular notebook. If you go to page 91 in the maintenance manual , it will give you a list of processors and it will show you the steps to do it yourself. I don't know what your current status of security with this laptop, but if you are still covered the upgrade of the processor warranty this I just want you to be aware.

  Now and then when you're dealing with the graphics card it is soldered to the motherboard if you will not be able to update. If you really want to improve the graphics, as you go through the motherboard. There is a list of those on page 81 in the owner's manual as well.

  If I was helpful, or if you want to say thanks to me trying to help, click on the White Star under my name to give me congratulations. I really appreciate it.

  Please answer as soon as possible.

  Thank you

• Cannot install XP SP2 in Presario CQ42 203AU

  Yes, you read that right.

  For your new problem in Windows 7, you can in the bios setting.

  F4 or F5 or any other function key is defined as other features see your keyboard map. The current setting should push shift with F4 F4 access, if you don't like, just change the setting in the BIOS.

• Compaq presario CQ42: Compaq presario CQ42 HDD Upgrade

  Hello!

  A good and nice day to all!

  I just want to know if it is possible to upgrade my computer laptop (HP Compaq Presario CQ42) drive HARD internal 320 GB (current) upwards up to 1 TB of HARD drive?

  Share:

  My HARD drive right now is having a problem. I have it parted to partition 2 and it worked for me for a couple of years now. But lately this week, I removed the HDD to be used with an external box to copy some files from my desktop and installed as soon as it is. Unfortunately, when I try to start my laptop, it starts only until windows 8 Logo appears then flashing the screen off a second and turns to a black screen (similar to the background at boot)...

  When I put my camera and connect with my desktop, C drive is not recognized more... He sometimes say that I format the drive and there is sometimes no drive at all. While my D drive and his reserved system are present and accessible...

  I tried to recover the drive using HDD regenerator, but he says that the disc is fine.

  I also tried TestDisk but still no good result...

  With what I shared, may be you have some idea of what happened so I would like to know about it...

  My real question is how much HARD disk capacity can be improved? I intend to install a 1 TB if posible...

  Best regards and thanks a lot for any response...

  #IloveHP

  Not a good idea to remove a hard drive from a work computer and then attach it to another computer. Permissions can get screwed to the top of this way. If you want to transfer files off the drive just do it on a computer network. But to really tell if the hard drive is to have software or hardware issues you just need to launch the diagnostic hard drive in the BIOS of the laptop. And your question on the 1 TB drive is easy: no problem. You can install a 9.5 mm thickness 2.5 inch wide SATA 1 TB hard drive. They are actually 1.5 TB abd even now, drives of 2 TB and those would be too much work.

• ompaq Presario CQ42-352TU: CPU Updgrade

  Hello and thank you,

  I'm trying to understand the extensible processors. but am not usre the socket type or if my motherboard is compatible with what is stated in the manual. The motherboard part number is not in the manual.

  What type of socket (PGA988)?

  Can you tell me if I have discrete graphics and what my UMA number?

  Aware of the processor: P6200

  MB: DAOAX1MB6H1

  REV: H

  Intel HM55 chipset

  Motherboard: PX140011ZZHL1Y

  Your model has an Intel 4 series Express graphics so you have the dual processor Pentium P6200. There is no discreet video. The manual associated with your model of HP actually does not cover your model, but a series earlier.

  Manual listed by HP

  HM55 chipset will support one of the processors listed in the manual as compatible with the CQ42-150 to 199 models.

  In other words, you can install an i7 - 620 M if you wish.

• Value created on the Presario SR1610NX recovery CD

  The value created on the Presario SR1610NX recovery CD will work on the Presario SR1620NX? Two computers running the same OS i.e. Windows XP Home Edition

  Hello

  It probably won't work as the recovery disks see one "tattoo" on the bios chip to validate installation - this information will be different for different models.

  You can view some of these information of "tattoo" as follows.  Shut down the PC.  Tap here to f10 as soon as you start to have access to the Bios Menu.  Details for model serial number NR. etc. can be read on the first tab.

• HP Compaq Presario CQ42: can I upgrade cpu? HP Compaq Presario CQ42. Core i5 430 m for core i5 3320

  Hello HP.
  I have a question. My laptop is HP Compaq Presario CQ42 and core i5 430 m processor. I want to stretch cpu for the third generation of cpu and the fourth generation cpu. I found it core i5 3320 Mr. Peut work it core i5 3320 m cpu? It can better performance?

  Hello Angaahai ;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post about upgrading your CPU and wanted to help.

  This link is to HP for your PC product page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/Compaq-Presario-CQ42-Notebook-PC-series/4121902/model/4149187/manuals

  If you right-click on the entry of l maintenance and Service Manual, you can download this PDF on your PC.  On page 94, it lists the compatible processors, and on the next page, he begins the removal and replacement procedures.

  Unless you did something like this many times before, I would advise to do it yourself.  It is very hard to do and is easy to break something in the process.  It would be better to have a business service center works on laptops do this for you.

  Good luck

• Compaq presario cq42 screen becomes black when the external monitor is unplugged

  Compaq presario cq42-137tu running windows 7 32 bit.

  I've been using a connected external display on the vga port and now every time I disconnect the monitor and restart the laptop the laptop LCD screen will display the original message of compaq and the black windows boot screen with the logo but then turns off. If I reconnect the extrnal monitor it will work fine (even if the external monitor is turned off)

  The screen of the laptop works fine without the external monitor connected in safe mode.

  I used both the HP support and the setting in the display panel to select single monitor and set the display on the screen of the laptop, but every time that the external monitor is not connected the screen turns off. The external screen does not need to be turned on, just to connect to the laptop monitor work. I also tried to download the graphics driver and put it back.

  If your laptop is a ComPaq base model then there is the (built-in) Intel UMA / GMA 4500 M - GL40 chipset with video memory sharing and you should consider downloading and installing the driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).
