Test "Failed" detected on my Compaq Presario CQ5320F during regular maintenance.

I need to know what steps should I take.  This is the first time I had a test failed.  Who says failure is SMART self-test.  I have Windows 7 operating system.  Thanks for any help.

Hello patlee7,

A SMART test failure points to your hard drive. The SMART test is designed to run tests on the hard drive and search for and identify anything that may indicate failure of hard drive. If the test fails maybe it's you letting know your hard drive may die soon.

Remember to back up your data and prepare for this eventuality. If you do not wait for the right drive die you can consider replacing the hard drive in the machine.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5320F desktop PC will not read the recovery disc 1

    I ordered HP discs and received 3 disks by mail. I just got my new hard drive (the former was way past disappeared. I don't know how he held for so long) and replaced the HARD drive. I booted up and received a black screen asking me "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot selected ins media device to start and press a key" so I put in disc 1. I had a screen 'windows loading files', then a blue screen with a pattern on it, ray

    The Recovery Manager started, I said I wanted to factory reset and click Next, and then he asked if I wated to restore the system to factory settings and I hit Yes and then click Next. Then it tells me to insert the disc 1 (which is already underway) and they tray pops out, so I push the mouse and the back Gets the small CD icon next to him and I hear things from disc tray. The message goes away and then the tray opens again a second later and tells me to put in disk 1... >_

    I tried the disk 2 and 3, perhaps thinking that they have the project. I have NO idea why it does not work. I even went into the Setup menu and it is certainly set to boot from the hard drive...

    Tips, tricks, advice, advice? The computer was given to me at the time so there is no HP support more and I can not find anything by Google.

    Bumping.

    I put in the old HDD to test the DVD/CD player and it works very well for CDs and DVDs. Not sure that it would have a flaw JUST in the ability to run the boot disks as there has never been anything to take for her (although, nothing is impossible).

    Anyone know why I get several requests to put in disk 1? Especially when I put in disc 1 for recovery anyway menu (so obviously that it works)?

    So say you that my computer can handle a 60mbs speed?

    Hello

    As mentioned above, I do not know the REAL speed of your perspective of fibro, but If it is only 60 MB/s (I'm not belive this number) then your machine takes care of everything. In fact, you machine can handle any given even speed 8.lorsque and standard the only problem: you pay for high speed, but only get slow speed. Again, I do not think number 60 mb/s.

    Can someone tell me what are the choices that I have to update my video card on this machine without changing the power supply? Enter the game on PC more. Thank you!

    There is really no quality maps of game on the market for your computer's power supply. 250 watt power supply is too low for this kind of maps and will need to be replaced if you want use more add-in PCIe x 16 graphics cards.

  • Compaq presario v6000 v6409tu disk hard bios self-test fail

    Hello

    Windows xp no my pc compaq v6000 not starting and bluescreen showed a couple of times. I ran the BIOS (phoenix) disk hard diagnosis and the test failed. When I opened my HDD I noticed green rust as deposits into the connector on the hard drive. After cleaning with a brush, computer loaded XP successfully. But an hour later, while I was surfing in mozilla suddenly the mouse pointer started late and showed computer blue screen saying that windows has been closed down to prevent damage.

    I would be grateful if someone can tell me if it's a software problem or hard drive error. If I need to replace my hard drive, what are my options, for example. rpm, capacity, provider? Thank you.

    The only way you could have rusted copper into the connector on the hard drive is if liquid got in there so I am reluctant to try to speculate how much damage has been done. I remove the hard drive and connect it to the outside to another computer and run chkdsk on it to see if the drive itself is bad. As long as there is a problem on the part of connector and the interface with the motherboard cannot really trust the onboard hard drive Diagnostics. You could also get an own another new hard drive adapter.

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/new-Compaq-Presario-C700-F500-F700-V6000-SATA-laptop-hard-drive-connector-/161297513053?PT=US_Drive_Bay_Caddies & Hash = item258e14ba5d

    If it does not turn on the hard drive is bad, you can replace it with any laptop SATA drive no more than 9.5 mm thick.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145587

    Above is a good thing. It is slim (7mm) but it will still go into the caddy and connect to the motherboard with the connecting piece. If the hard drive itself is always good, and you replace the connector piece but he always bluescreens, so I would not spend money on a new hard drive. I would say that there was damage to the motherboard.
