  • Compaq Presario CQ56-156SA

    Hi people

    Turned on laptop yesterday - it has a little over 3 months and has barely been used. I didn't get any answer. Screen, no response from the black keyboard, mouse etc. The caps lock / wireless lights are an and do not respond. Tried to not restart with Cont/alt/del and F8 absolutely no response.

    Any thoughts?

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Try a Hard Reset as follows.

    Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the power button for a minute.  Reinsert the battery, connect the AC adapter and see if the laptop boots.

    If the above does not help, the best advice I can do is to contact HP and arrange for the laptop repaired under warranty.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  • Compaq presario CQ56 103TU: upgrading laptop hard drive

    Our computer comes with a 320 GB hard drive. I would like to replace it with a larger. How can I find the larger sizes that I can use without going into what anyone other than the typical installation and the complicated transfer system? I saw a hard drive 1 TB, put on sale. Is - too big for my computer? Or maybe something in the order of 500 to 750 GB. Thank you.

    Any laptop that can take a 320 GB drive can also take a 1 TB drive.  The older player size limit was around 120 GB - and that was due to the limits dealing with old BIOS, which disappeared a long time ago.

    Also, a very easy way to replace a drive is to buy an external adapter that can connect the new drive via a USB post and 'clone' of the old drive to the new using a third-party product like Macrium Reflect.  I also use this to "clone" SDD HARD disk when I replaced the drives in laptops.

    Good luck

  • Boot Manager is missing so that install operating system pretty.

    Original title: Boot Manager missing.

    I use a Dell Inspiron 700 m family machine with Windows XP Edition as an OEM installation. I wanted to try a commercially available cloud operating system just for fun. I installed it on my assembled desktop PC and everything works great, and then I decided to install it on my laptop, that everything is OK until I restarted Windows to the end of the installation. The Boot Manager does not restart and started directly in the new operating system. I know that the windows installation is still on my laptop because I can see the files in the file browser in the other operating system. I know that this probably isn't the place to ask for another operating system, but they do not yet have answers. For your information, I'll give you the name of the operating system I installed and give you the address of the download page. I am out of Windows XP and the new operating system is unable to console me anyway.

    Try a hard reset first as follows:

    Remove the battery and unplug the DC power Jack
    Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
    replace the DC power cord (leave the battery for now), and then press the power button

  • Laptop computer doesNot boot HP G62t-250. HP Recovery Manager not fixing no problem. Windws7 Hm Premium 64 bit

    Computer laptop HP G62t-250 will not start. Does not recover. Windows 7 Home.

    He continues to send me to the Recovery Manager.  I tried all the options except System Recovery HP Recovery Manager, b/c I don't want to lose my files (music, photos, work).  None of the other options seem to be working.

    Microsoft System Restore is not helping and maintains loops back to HP Recovery Manager.

    At the DOS prompt, dir on the C drive shows no files.

    I would say pulling hard disk and backup of the data, so you don't lose it.  You can buy a USB to IDE SATA adapter & from a third party site to do so.  Then I try to run the recovery once you know that your data is safe.  If this does not work as you might need to call the 1-800-hp invent hp to make your machine.  Hope this helps

  • How to fix my computer laptop vaio to restart so I can get to the login screen my sceen is the Windows Boot Manager screen, and I don't have a disk so how can I solve this without disc

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Hi Maddy,

    This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

    If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

    If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

    If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.
