• Please someone help on how to get windows 7 drivers for compaq nc6220

  I've recently upgraded a laptop (compaq nc6220) to windows 7 and I don't seem to find find windows 7 drivers to run it.

  I need assistance on how to get windows 7 drivers, to drive the foregoing, named mobile.

  Thank you

  Hi brephosa8701,

  Unfortunately the nc6220 doesn't have Windows 7 drivers on the HP.com website, I suggest that you try to use Windows Vista drivers and see if that can solve some problems for you.

• HP Compaq nc6220 Notebook PC: power on password error

  I have a HP Compaq nc6200 laptop in which I set up a password to be able to. The problem is when I try to enter my password, it does not work. I can enter my password up to 3 times, then I get a small image that looks like a circle with 3 lines coming out the top and bottom. Is there a way I could fix this?

  Thank you!

  The link mentioned below is that of this particular model manual and check the topic

  '1.2 reset the onboard computer' and follow the instructions to clear the password.

  Remove the main battery and the battery of the CCF. and then turn on the laptop with AC power. Who is supposed to clear the password.

• Wireless on my hp compaq nc6220

  doeas does not work how to operate again

  Gibbs

  Hello:

  The wireless has never worked on your nc6220?  On many of these old models, wireless cards are optional.

  If you have an internal wireless card, when you press the button wireless on your laptop, you should see a blue light on the front of the laptop on the side left (where the other lights are) when the wireless card is turned on.

  If you press the button and nothing happens, it can be 4 things:

  1. no wireless card is installed.

  2. the card is disabled in the HP Wireless Manager software.

  3. the wireless card is disabled in the BIOS, and you must activate it.

  4. the wireless card is broken, or other damage to the motherboard, the wireless button.

• Update of Compaq Presario CQ5110Y desktop PC

  I want to upgrade my Compaq Presario CQ5110Y desktop PC then I'll be able to watch TV Online (Football, shows, ect) with crisp clear picture and no gel (if possible, HD quality) I can do this? If so any suggestions on a decent type of video card and power supply upgrades that usually cost an arm and a leg. My video card is now integrated and the provision of my Poweer is 300W. Any help would greatly be appritiated!

  Hello:

  The Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 should work (even if the recommended power supply is 400W) fine.

  The card will draw only a maximum of less than 30 Watts.

  Sound cards... I don't know anything about them, unfortunately, since I have never installed one of my business offices.

• Best updates for Compaq Presario?

  Hey guys,.

  Currently, I have a rather old system, it all works perfectly, and I take the best care all my hardware/software. I'm really at play here lately, and I've been playing World of Warcraft for the past 6 years. Well, I've had this computer for about 4-5 years and he ran the game fine, but now with the new expansion (cataclysm), it has been a bit sluggish.

  Updates only I bought because it's far more memory and a graphics card (Yes, I am overclocking the card as well). I am pretty intelligent computer and have more general knowledge then. But my knowledge base do not go as far as proccessors. And to be honest, I don't know what I should get, or weather I have to just buy a new computer all together.

  Here are all my system features:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00910224

  -I know that my problem lies in the proccessor, because I don't think he can handle the new action of intense game that has developed over the last 5 years or longer. My graphics card works perfectly and very very smooth everything. But when I enter persay, a 25 man raid, where everyone in the raid is casting/attack, then I drop from 60 frames per second (on max settings) at about 14 frames per second. I even tried decreasing my settings all the way, and I'm going 80 fps (on smaller settings) to about 22 images per second. Also, I have a very good internet service, one of the fastest on the market.

  So any ideas would be good, and it would be even better if someone could give me some links to the best proccessor for this socket/computer. I don't mean not all the more expensive outside, I mean something that runs very well of new age stuff.

  Thank you

• compaqCQ57: updates to compaq hardware

  Have this laptop and need to give her muscles! It's not the product. isA7A54U #ABA. Thank you very much for your help with this. This also has the chip AMD E300.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  The big problem for upgrades, it's that, on models AMD, CPU is soldered to the motherboard. In addition, the E350 is, believe it or not, the top of the page AMD processor for this series of models. It was made to be sold at a very low price to Wal-Mart and other similar places.

  Even if you found an Intel motherboard, it supports only low range, Celeron and Pentium Dual processors.

  The best you could do to make that a little faster is max memory (DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM of 8 GB (2 x 4 GB)) and also install an SSD. I just took an SSD of 120 gig for $40 at Frys so if you can get by with a minimum of storage the laptop can be made usable but it will never be a performance machine.

• HP Compaq 2510p Bios update failure (stuck in an eternal loop))

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can advise me please?

  I have a HP Compaq 2510p laptop that starts, displays this error message:

  "Your Bios did not complete the update"

  A few seconds later late in goes to the HP Invent screen. and then again the previous error message. These two screens cycle constantly and there is not only one key that I can use to access the bios settings.

  Presseing F9, F10, F12 or F-everything works. No key command does not work. Can I not boot from the internal drive, CD, USB etc.

  How can I regain access to this faulty machine to restore or repair the bios please?

  Here is a link to the images of the two alternating screens that I'm stuck:

• Uj832 with Compaq nc 6220 DVD burner

  I bought a used HP Compaq nc6220.  I put the CD - RW to a DVD - RW uj832 burner. could not work.  I used Nero, DVD decrypter, DVD shrink 32, InterVideo, burn 4 free, Win DVD Creator 2.  I tried even not protected DVD copy!  All of these programs stop after meeting different read errors. I tried 3 different discs, thinking maybe it was the drive itself.  Updated the firmware of the player; did not work. uninstalled the driver firmware updated BIOS and reinstalled the firmware for the DVD-rom; did not work. I'm at my second wit with that. Hoping someone has a solution.

  I had to just keep fiddling with it.  Used MS fix, firmware updated and windows diagnostic tools and kept trying again and again until finally the SUCCESS!

• Satellite 1410-604-BIOS update > update BIOS Incorrect in the web?

  Hi there again!

  Now with a new and strange issue.

  We all know that tell old... "If it does not break, don't fix it." And if you put in more computer terms, "especially if it's a BIOS.

  Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to manage. For some reason, we normally feel as if we manage something like nitroglycerine, or radioactive products. And it's because we all know who is put at risk at the moment: our (or sometimes other) computer, the whole system could end up as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic and son.

  Well. I passed through all of this, more than 10 times in my life, and only once, it went wrong. But since this old motherboard was already dead, it was not important. But I've always been EXTREMELY care. Allways cross checked everything before you do anything, allways has a backup and a way to allways and restore that backup... I did COMPAQ systems, which have been prepared in this way. A BIOS update was about about a disc, turn on the PC with the disk in the floppy drive and wait. And if you don't like the results, you just click on 'back to a previus BIOS' and that was it... very nice. And easy.

  A few days ago a friend gave me a Toshiba Satellite 1410 604 to solve some problems that have been her crazy. After you remove a Norton Internet Security has expired, install avast and scan, I found more than a hundred of files infected with a variety of viruses, malware, trojans, and everything you could imagine. Avast all removed, but the rest of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format it and install from scratch.

  I asked for the restore disks, which obviously it failed because they were lost in one of his trips. After that we had confirmation of Toshiba representatives there is no disk recovery available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC and resigned to losing some of the utilities accompanying that CD and are not available for download on the Web site.

  I downloaded all the software available for this model, including two updates to the BIOS. (In reality an update, but in two versions: Windows and traditional) and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs as if it were a new system installation. And everything was fine, no problems at all. Until we arrived at the wireless LAN card, but that's another problem is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support the encriptación WEP or WAP, and it is not possible to connect to any LAN encripted wireless).

  At this point, and when I started setting up and activation of peripheral PCMCIA and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1, 2.0 not) I discovered this text from Toshiba Web site:

  "This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
  (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard.
  When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)

  For more detailed updated information, please refer to Information update BIOS Toshiba"

  Satellite 14xx
  Satellite 1410 604
  PS141E

  Quite specific. Isn't?)

  According to the information in this Web site, the available BIOS fits the following models:

  "Satellite 2410 414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410 - 654S, Satellite 1410 814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304 s, Satellite 1410 354, 2410-601 Satellite, Satellite 1410-401, {color: #ff0000} * Satellite 1410 604 * {color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410 S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410 S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410 554, Satellite 1410 S102, Satellite 1410 - 354F, Satellite 2410 703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410 - S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410 603, Satellite 1410-902. ', Satellite 1410-313, Satellite 1410-802, Satellite 1410 714, Satellite 2410-354, Satellite 2410 514, Satellite 1410-614, Satellite 1410 704, Satellite 2410 515, Satellite 2410-504, 2410-702 Satellite, Satellite 1410 S103.

  Yes... it's here!

  Now when you go into the "Toshiba BIOS update information", you get:

  "Ref. FAQ: TRO0000000b07.

  A BIOS update is a {color: #ff0000} * operation is relatively simple and can be done by computer more competent users * {color}. All BIOS updates can be obtained from "BIOS update" Section download click here...

  Note: the BIOS files are specific machine the correct BIOS for your machine should be used. »

  Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage BIOS manipulation, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do. It is not badly needed, but at the same time that they encourage people to 'play' with such a delicate question, at the end of this page, in small letters, they say:

  "Toshiba provides this information"as is"{color: #ff0000} * without warranty of any kind * {color}, explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of quality market or adequacy has a specific use." Toshiba shall not be liable to the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. {color: #ff0000} * Toshiba is not responsible for damage caused by the use of any information provided, including incomplete or incorrect information * {color}. »

  This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.

  + "Human error is inherent in man, and it is not possible to eradicate. It will be displayed always, sooner or later"(Prof. James Reason). +

  And finally, I made the mistake. Although I have read this warning, I remembered all these successful BIOS update with COMPAQ and relied for Toshiba. This update was available there, and Toshiba told me that it was for this computer. Great!

  So finally, I disconnected all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN), plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then Windows started the update (windows version, such as recommended by Toshiba). This drug looked very nice, nothing different from what I usually see on these old COMPAQs.

  As reported by the update program, the system would restart. And in fact he did.

  Windows normally closed (a little faster than normal, but without mistakes, and since there is no other programs that most - even the antivirus not working - no), the computer turned off, all lights (normal) offshore, and then again on...

  {color: #0000ff} * BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... ... BEEEEP * {color}

  OMG! I never movement something SO bad. 3-1-1!

  And now... What a 3-1-1 is here? Award BIOS would mean no card graphics or video deffective card, but it is not true, because it worked 20 seconds ago. There are BIOS.

  He never came again to life. He's still 3-1-1 beep.

  But now comes the investigation on the human factors involved in this accident.

  I found I committed the following errors:

  * (1) * rely in the constructor, even if they have WRITTEN their information may be incorrect or incomplete. (BAD if I was a detective QA & QC).

  * (2) * I cross checked deep enough (until it was already too late).

  * (3) * I haven't looked above for how to make a backup of the BIOS to restore must anything deceive you.

  * (4) * let Toshiba lead me to a path that I didn't walk, just because of their supply of 'increased functionality.

  * (5) * Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be performed by the most competent computer users"... they never said it is infallible. "."

  Then I began the most interesting part of the investigation.

  {color: #0000ff} * "what went wrong?" * {color}

  Obviously, the update of the BIOS has not somewhere, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.

  First thing, I discovered that there is another Toshiba search engine called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked to see if, for any chance I could get the old BIOS 1.20 version which was installed at the origin of this machine.

  And I found something... VERY interesting:

  GOOD! Or not?

  Let's take a look:

  First thing I did was download all four files.

  Then I took the same version that made the accident: 1.40

  I unzipped the file, which I found:

  And I got my first surprise here: there is a {color: #ff0000} * README. TXT * {color} that was not present in the file that I downloaded earlier from the repository of drivers.

  So I went the readme.txt and I found this:

  'README. CDC TXT 31/01/2003

  Please note that the model 1410-604 is * NOT * listed.

  I thought ' well, there must be another archive... ". »

  But then I realized a name that seems familiar, that is, in the directory where I unzipped this file 1.40, and the name is:

  {color: #0000ff} * 2410A9V140. EXE * {color}

  So I took the other file, the update of BIOS_Win, and I discovered that the name of the file is:

  * {color: #0000ff} 2410A9V140. EXE, {color} * (Ups!)

  So I once again, uncompressed to find:

  Then another issue raised in my mind: what happened to the other file 1.40? What did the other 2410A9V140. EXE are inside?

  * {color: #ff0000} they have two 20 files and 1 046 461 bytes. I asumed that they are the SAME two folder {color} *.

  And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, so I can't explain it except as a Toshiba error. * {color: #ff0000} they put an incorrect BIOS on their website and has proposed updating and somehow lead to such mistakes. {color} *.

  (Except in the case that one of these models is a name that is different from the model 1410-604, and if that's the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).

  The worst thing is that neither the other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, apparently so no solution possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 to the CMOS, and Toshiba seems to have. They offered me to solve the problem, leaving the laptop to an ASP, and pay only € 95 for the work and about € 280 for a motherboard replacement, I will get it resolved. But they offer no guarantees of their possibilities because is a model "too old" and "abandoned" and "unsupported"...

  In other words, they said 'you don't have to bother with it, just go and buy a new' (something of quite out of my reach in this time of crisis): P

  Thanks for reading so far.

  Now, what I need is to get ideas on a work around for this, my ideas are:

  (1) the CMOS has some startup that works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn in the CMOS memory, the SAME SAME model (a backup BIOS) but the backup should be sufficient for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).

  (2) it is always possible that the BIOS might be OK, but the CMOS data has been corrupted somehow. If so, the CMOS of compensation could solve problem. But I wasn't able to find a clear cmos from the outside button, and after disasembling I took battery, with no good result. I try to leave the MOBO without battery for a period more long (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case where 20 seconds are not all capacitors for well pass zero values. I don't have a lot of hope in this point.

  (3) try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted technical support several times, and I was able to verify that they are only - phone operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem is going - out of reach, they fall in the same response: "you must go to an ASP. I still have a faint hope to find someone who really knows a little and could illuminate with a good BIOS in this disc.

  (4) as far as I could find, this BIOS is not any BIOS-manufacturer known. It seems that it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), so the Phoenix crisis recovery disk won't be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba BIOS. But I'm open to all ideas, which could be put to the test more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature still works, I don't want to lose that possibility alone of redemption).

  Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a falks long post! Sorry about that!

  Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.

  Someone give some tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Please don't say that I shouldn't be doing... I already know that. I already did some research and found my mistakes, not to repeat them. Now, I need to spend, to move and to try to solve this problem, or at least learn to solve similar things. As much as possible.

  Thank you once again, in advance, and sorry again.

  Hi Fenix,

  Wow... He tooked a lot of time to read your post...

  Maybe I can help you.

  The Bios in the website is the right one. If you have downloaded the right version of the Bios.

  Toshiba America, which has most of the time the Askiris you used isn't accurate models for Toshiba Europe.
  This should be the reason, why does not the readme file contain the European model.

  I'll try to do an update of the fresh Bios using the update of the traditional Bios.

  Copy the files on the disk, put it in the floppy drive, press and hold power on the notebook tab.
  After that the laptop is off, press on and hold the key on the left side of space power on the laptop new bar and wait until it turns off again.

  If your laptop does not power perhaps the most, the RAM is default?

  Therefore, if the use of the traditional Bios or change memory doesn't help, and your laptop is still dead you should go to a SPA, but it will cost money.

  I now have my fourth Toshiba laptop and I had never problems with the Bios updates.

  The 1410 is very old I think, so before you go to a SPA, I'd buy a new ;)

  Best regards

  Maurice

• Presario CQ5110F: COMPAQ Presario CQ5110F adding a second hard drive and...

  Good so I took the lead when writing my original post on how to combine the two computers successfully.
  Not enough research, no question, just a little say aloud... Sorry about that.
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/HP-Pavilion-slimline-s3505f-amp-...

  I had little time today messing with both ' puters and discovered...
  They need a good cleaning and had.
  The noise of the Presario is indeed the fan on the radiator, it's just old and tired. Who cannot be strong in a music room; new fan may not be too expensive.
  So I decided the Presario is my starting point.

  I would add the hard drive of the Slimline as slave; they have different connectors tho.

  (1) if I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.
  (2) what parameters of rider (if any) do I need to have on each disc? Do not see outside the car Slimlines.

  I looked closer 2 slots for RAM and noticed that beside them there seems to be 2 places in addition to the Board of Directors, unused with no present holders plastic.

  (3) is it possible to add more slots and double the RAM? I would get 8 + GB and a 64-bit system end by ;~)

  Neither office seems to have the ability to run 2 monitors as is. No problem 29 "should do for now.
  Can't see a way to take the card out of the Slimline wireless and put it in the Presario. Internet not immediately necessary, hard connection cable always an option.

  All the other tips and advice on how to optimize my sytem are also welcome.
  Thank you for your time and helping an old guy handyman.
  See you soon!

  Hard drives has no different connectors if they are both SATA specifications like other post indicated.

  There is no adjustment to make on hard disks of the rider SATAS. According to me, that one can think of the old school the IDE drives.

  ) If I just unplug the V2000 CD reader (that has the straight plugs) and use them to connect the second hard drive will I just lost my CD player? It is very good.

  The image below is a diagram for your motherboard. You have enough SATA ports to be used for the second and even a third hard drive.

  

  DDR2 memory modules can be a little difficult to source. The current generation of add-on memory is the DDR3 specification.

  Perform a Google or any search engine is your preference in the memory of the source by using the update of Compaq presario CQ5110F RAM as keywords.
