Presario 5000 Series, Replacing Motherboard, etc by [email protected]
My Presario 5005CL would freeze, and then frequently not reboot, even after sitting overnight, not even getting to the POST or the red Compaq logo. I concluded the problem was probably motherboard or CPU or PS, in that order.. So... Bought an MSI KM2M Combo-L, which looked like it would fit...

Motherboard Replacement by chevyfan
Looking for a new motherboard for a Compaq Presario S6010V. The one that came with it is a MS-6577 M-ATX Rev. 3.1 Giovani. This exact model is not available anymore. Not really wanting to upgrade, just a comparable replacement for the original. Any suggestions? Thank you!
