By default I have come to own a Presario 5441. I'm looking to set it up for the kids to use when they visit. It had a bunged up Windows XP Pro installation, so I formated and started over with Windows 2000. Looking to put it on a wireless home network. Specs: CPU: AMD K6-2 472 AFX RAM: 256...

I almost forgot - this computer came with a single 256 mb RAM card in, DIMM, 133mhz etc. According to Crucial.com it should only have up to three 128 mb cards. It seems fine. Can I safely add a second one of these, 256 mb again. (I have a 64mb card in a drawer as salvage, but it is different...

The remaining problem with this DeskPro EN 866 sff is that the floppy drive won't work. Initially the seller, a refurbishing company, seem to have not plugged the power connector in (labelled P2?), which I've now done. I don't see how any of the leads can be in wrong - they seem to only go one...

I'm hoping this is going to be simple because the machine is otherwise working fine with the exception of the floppy drive, but my Deskpro SFF 886 mhz seems to have some kind of problem which I'm hoping is not related to a dying battery. The first time I switch it on - to recap it's (at least...

Well, I've switched it on this morning, and unless I'm mistaken the BIOS defaults I applied seem to have cured things. Touch wood. At any rate, it sounds that if I do have battery trouble I'll be able to do it, once I know what a C2032 looks like, I'm sure there's a pic somewhere online. Thanks...

Hello, hope someone here can help, though I've put the post elsewhere too. I wanted a computer separate from my Vista laptop for specific tasks and have bought a refurbished Compaq Deskpro En, 886 mhz, 320 mb RAM, 20 gig hard drive. For a lot of simple tasks it looks fine, like this page, for...

Hi you know it's possible with the notebook HP Compaq Nc6000, bios version 68BDD, booting from usb, with hard drive or pendrive? Thanks Best regards

I recently upgraded my desktop to a compaq 6710b notebook, have had it for no more than a week (if I'm lucky) and have been experiencing what sounds like a fairly major problem with it. I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced or heard of the same problem..... It first looked to be a...

x-posting to compaq/hp Our nephew's girlfriend had a problem with her internal WiFi card on her Compaq V6000 laptop. We all went to Best Buy and bought a Linksys PCMCIA card. The store didn't have any internal mini-pci type cards, guess the install would be too hard for mainstream...

Good morning. I was surfing the net because I have a problem with my Compag Presario 715 US Notebook. The flat flex cable that comes from the keyboard cannot be fixed to its moderboard conexion because a plastic part ( called Clip ? ) is broken. Is there any way to make the conexion without it ?...

Mine are damaged and won't work, anyone have them?

I just bought a used EVO D51S and need to add more memory (going from 256 MB to 512), but I get a diagnostic to the effect that the PC is missing a microcode patch and I have to hit F1 to continue. I've never updated a BIOS and I'm not even sure if my D51S is part of the D310 or D510 series. (I've...
