Last night I hurriedly went to connect the psu cable to my 2178ea and put it in another port by mistake. There was a slight crackle and the computer is now dead with none of the power indicator lights on. I want to salvage the contents of the hard drive and assume it wont be affected. Do I need to...

I'm getting ready to upgrade the memory in a Presario 5660 from 128 to 384. The system hasn't been formatted since it was purchased in December 1998. The system has Win98 on it now, but I will be upgrading it to XP. I will upgrade the BIOS, then format everything. I've formatted quite a few...

I have a friend whose Compaq Presario recently crashed due to buildup of viruses. The recovery partition did its job and the computer works again - albeit slowly and with lots of freezing and glitches. I talked to him and we decided to completely format the drive and reinstall Windows XP, the...

Sorry if this has been asked before but here goes. I am going to clean up a friend's computer. I am well experienced with most brands except Compaq. The system was purchased in February 2001. So I remember something about the BIOS settings being on the hard drive of Compaqs but am not sure how...

Further to my earlier questions: I know that with DVD players there are plus and minus systems and one won't play on the other format. How does this work with DVD-Rs? I don't want to copy footage onto a DVD-R and then find that some people can't use the disks. Peter

Can someone tell me what the "Fn" key does on a Compaq keyboard and how to use it? I just bought a Compaq CPQ125KB keyboard and noticed a key marked "Fn" located below the ENTER key. In the brief manual that came with the keyboard there is no mention of this key. Would appreciate any information. ...

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...

The screen looks ok it just flickers (to black and then back again) and sometimes several times, then sometimes it won't do it for awhile, then it'll start...

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 ?...

I have a Evo desktop that appeared to have a blown power supply. I replaced the power supply and now the power led is flashing at a one second interval when turned on. What I can find on the internet points to a bad ROM and one poster had this problem and flashed the BIOS to fix it. I reset the...
