Recovery Presario CQ61 problems

Hello

I tried to recover our Presario CQ61 using the recovery dvd.  Once the required files are copied to the hard drive and it begins to restore the files on the hard disk, I get the error "C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM contains the invalid path."

What should I do?

Thank you

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

It looks not to the HARD drive needs to be replaced.

If your laptop is under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the hard drive replaced.

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

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

If you are out of warranty and you would like a guide on replacing yourself, please let me know - understand your CQ61 complete model number.

Kind regards

    If you are unable to get any power on the computer, it is most likely a problem with the motherboard of the computer.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61 wireless problem

    I use a PC Compaq Presario CQ61-411WM with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I am not able to connect to the internet, because the PC does not detect the available wireless networks. The HP wireless assistant reported that the wireless device is disabled in the Device Manager. However, when I check the device under network adapters Manager, Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller does not display an error or a problem. I'm really very happy for any help with this. Thank you.

    Hello:

    Well, the only thing I can think of to confirm that your wireless card did or didn't die is to go into your BIOS by pressing F10 at HP welcome screen and see if there is a configuration menu of devices and make sure that your wireless adapter is displayed.

    If it does not appear, make sure that the setting is set to enabled.

    If it is not, then I guess that the card is completely broken.

    If it is listed and enabled in the BIOS, then you have a major software problem and my solution would be to save all the files you want to keep and perform a system recovery.

  • HP Presario CQ61-334ER: Windows 7 license

    Hello!
    A few years ago, I bought a HP Presario CQ61-334ER laptop with OS Windows 7 Home Basic already installed license.  Windows license key is noted on the label on the laptop, but there is no CD drive with the operating system.

    Now, there are a few problems with the hard drive, so I have to replace it with a new HARD drive.

    Can I reinstall the same version of Windows 7 on a new hard drive, using the psecified license key Windows on a laptop? Or I can reinstall OS on the new HARD drive using system repair discs?

    P.S. in Microsoft Support advised contact me HP support as the laptop was purchased with already installed the operating system.

    For your first game, you can try to order the HP recovery media to install so that you can restore it to the factory. See first part...

    Get a HP USB recovery or HP recovery disc drive
    Read this before ordering your recovery discs! (United States and Canada only)
    Creation of recovery disks or saving a recovery Image on a USB key-CD/DVD (Windows 7)

    As for your second part, your key to produce both that the laptop was unique to your laptop and located on the COA sticker. You can reinstall Windows 7, but it must match your previous Windows 7 Home Basic not another different version of Windows 7. Then your product key will work and you can re-enable again to make it work. If you bought a different version and higher to Windows 7 then you should got a new product with him key to activate the Windows 7 new with this.

  • Presario cq61: presario cq61 is not lit

    Hello world!

    I have a Presario CQ61 and it no longer turns. The battery was always low... so I used it still connected to the power adapter... In any case it does now... I tried without battery, to swap the RAM, to use just one bank of RAM and then the other. I tried to disconnect the wifi module... I checked the HD and saved it (it works)...  One thing is... When I connect to the decision-making power, the corresponding led lights for just for 1 second and then turns... I'm sure that the battery is not working...

    I read on the forum and it seems a flaw of the motherboard... but my question is... can it be possible this is a battery issue...

    I mean did the cell phone one needs work and charged battery (or at least with a % of load) connecting with the power supply to turn on?  so is it a problem for the 0% charged battery?

    Thanks in advance!

    Concerning

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Unfortunately, it's probably a problem with the motherboard - the laptop should work perfectly when the AC adapter is plugged in even with the battery removed.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61, unable to boot the laptop

    Compaq Presario CQ61 running Windows 7 Home Premium (build 7601) bought about 4 years ago.

    Computer failed to restart after a period of sleep.  I suspect that it doesn't have an automatic restart after automatic installation of an update - it's only a guess because I have no access to the computer at the moment, but I had a similar problem recently - on this occasion, I got a 'Safe Mode' start - by pressing F8 repeatedly gave me access to the appropriate screen.  I've implemented subsequently by restoring the system to a point just before a automatic installation of a critical Windows Update, and that seemed to do the trick.

    On this occasion the F8 route has no effect on the problem; the 'caps lock' and 'NumLock' continually of the blink just of LED (i.e. not a limited number of times), the fan starts, but there is no other sign of life.  I tried a hard restart, but without result.  I also removed and replaced memory, but once again no effect.

    Can you please advise.

    I'm so sorry I couldn't help you solve the problem, but maybe you could try to free the keyboard, nothing will happen if you do not lose the cpu and tight again. I know that the keyboard one is hard, persevering, best wishes.

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

  • Presario CQ61 connect to the TV via HDMI on Windows 7

    Hello

    I can't understand how to connect my Presario CQ61 Notebook to a Philips TV HDMI on Windows 7. I checked the settings in the control panel in Windows 7 and put them in several screens. Under the NVIDIA Control Panel, I cloned the views. Nothing happens, black screen on TV with the message "no signal". The laptop is recognizing the TV properly by the way.

    Help, please. I already spent 2 hours on it. Tried various items online, but nothing seems to work. The HDMI cable is OK. I plugged a PlayStation to TV. Seems that it is not a hardware problem, but something with the settings on my laptop.

    Hi @bonbon,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read on your Compaq Presario CQ61 notebook and not able to connect a HDMI monitor. Here is a document on how to connect the TV.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC Freeze issues

    Hello everyone

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC running on Windows 7 Home Premium. The laptop freezes at random times, sometimes minutes after use or an hour after use. It does not result by clicking on a program or a file. I have printing freeze the problem may be caused by the failure of the hardware, possibly the HARD drive.

    Here are a few observations from the laptop and the things that I tried to diagnose or repair.

    • During a typical blocking the HDD LED light is always on
    • Also had the blue screen and freeze black screen
    • No error message
    • Hard disk becomes very hot
    • Entered the BIOS and run automatic test of the primary hard drive and memory Test using InsydeH20 Setup utility but it went together.
    • Laptop computer has been completely reset to factory settings so it is impossible due to the high utilization of the processor
    • Idle while the CPU usage is generally of the order of 13%-25%, with a peak of rare of 53%
    • The hard drive is a Western digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 2.5 "SATA

    The laptop is not used so wiping back to settings to original wasn't a problem, but I would like to return to a usable level.

    Thanks for any help you could offer

    Mike

    I was certain insistence autour in my computer and I'm done to restore back to factory settings. So far, it has not frozen and seems to work properly.

    I tried updating the BIOS with HP Support Assistant, but it does not work. Hoping to solve the problem I went online and updated my support Assistant. After this success, I then managed to download the BIOS from internet F.15 version I was also looking for. Everything seems to work quite fine at the moment, although there are a few updates to Windows that will not be installed. The progress bar shows the animation download but the installation hangs at 1 / 8. Some items are classified as "recommended" or "important" so any help with this problem would be immensely appreciated!
