  • Compaq Presario CQ56: a problem with the computer keyboard laptop presario CQ56

    All keys (F) Act as the FN key is been held down when it is not. This just started today. I have a free prog called "keyboard test utility. Now, I have discovered that I can get 1 clean tap of F4 and the prog to test keyboard shows only illuminated F4. The next time I hit the letter (P) F4 and the Windows key are lit. Now, if I tap the FN key, and then press the F4 key. Again, F4 is the only 1 who turned on the prog of test. It's almost like the FN button nosed. I just to confirm. Rather than hold down the FN key to get things under the keys (F) (as a volume-, volume +, cut and so on). Now, I have to hold down the FN key to get the regular F1 to F12 keys. The rest of the keyboard is fine. A regular toggle switch or a switch in a radio push button. The FN key acts like someone ripped the wires to the back of the switch and reverse the wires and the switch can operate in reverse. Beats me how this can happen to a laptop keyboard.

    Here are a couple of things to try.

    1. judgment of the laptop.  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

  • 'my' recovery disks to recover 'his' presario c700

    Hello

    can someone help me with this one?

    someone contacted me asking if he could borrow my recovery disks. We have... the same computer laptop presario c700, but my c794tu is more recent than hers... I forgot what model, but it does not mention it was a c700... a c78xxx something w / 1.73ghz I guess.

    in any case, his laptop came with Vista Home Basic preinstalled even than mine. the thing is he reformatted his hard drive... and went out of the partition of recovery as well... and you've probably guessed it... without having its own recovery disks.

    so... can I use my recovery disks to restore his computer? I know that differences in the drivers problems can arise because of the difference in model... but he is willing to take the risk because he has nothing to lose really. He would have at least one operating system running.

    of course, to protect my own license, I would like to ask about the 'Change product key' option in the control panel. grant, all right, if we change the product key with his... that would be ok? He still has the Vista OEM sticker on his laptop, so we think that we can activate Vista of my installed on his laptop recovery disks using its product key.

    Finally, given that we have already restored his laptop to factory default OS, the correct drivers and everything works as if it came from the factory, can make its own recovery disks so he would not have this problem again?

    is this possible?

    Thanks in advance to those who can help you.

    John

    Recovery is installed with a generic key (volume license) used by HP. It does not use the license key that you have on the sticker, so it wouldn't be a problem. The license key on your sticker is some sort a formality and is not actually used during installation using recovery. If you used a regular dvd of Vista to install, you will need to enter the key to activate

    The key used by recovery is similar to an enterprise license that may have a company allowing them to use a single copy of Windows to install on their machines without having to enter a key or activate.

    This is why there are restrictions on the recovery discs, if it does not find info in the BIOS to check that a HP machine_they could be used to install on any & every machine without necessary license key.

    It seems that the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If this is not the case, a laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can use a 750 GB hard drive, but not a 320 GB hard drive.

    If you need help with selection and replace of the disk station hard back with model number & full product as indicated on the Service tag on the bottom of the laptop.

    How can I find my model number or product number

  • I can create a system recovery disk that gets installed and updated Windows 7, not the preinstalled HP Vista recovery Partition?

    I have a laptop HP HDX 18 that had 64-bit Windows Vista installed, with a Vista recovery on his C drive Partition.  Since then, I installed clean 64-bit Windows 7 Professional of his Microsoft licensed DVD, that I still have.  I kept with all (200 +) of Windows updates.

    Now, I want to create a system (Flash drive) for this laptop recovery disk, but my concern is that he will lead the recovery in its Partition Vista original, installed at the factory.   If I use W7 administration tools installed to create a system recovery disc, it will recover the old Windows Vista or Windows 7?  In addition, it would be nice to have a system recovery disk that had the latest W7.

    I'm not looking to install the drive link below; However, I prefer the system recovery disk to restore my laptop to its W7 system most recently updated, rather than start over.

    What choices do I have?  Where can I find the appropriate instructions?

  • When turning on pc and when the acer logo appears it asks to enter the current password, I bought the recovery disk but do not get a chach to enter the bios

    When turning on pc and when the acer logo appears it asks to enter the current password, I bought the recovery disk but do not get a chach to enter the bios

    This looks like a utility Acer protect disk hard & possibly also the BIOS.  You will need to consult your manual for Acer.  You have configured a password of HDD that you are now trying to recover, by chance?  This recovery is not possible if the hard drive has been password protected.

    If it was a Windows login screen then it would show your user/admin name and password entry area & would be clearly identified as a Windows form of the version of Windows being displayed at the bottom of the screen.

    Hi @kiwikieran,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your Compaq Presario CQ43 notebook and with the new hard problems. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. In this way, it will look at the hardware installed on your laptop.

    What are the specifications of the new hard drive?

    Here is a link on tips for a new hard drive connection.

    Please let me know how it goes.
