I'm in Australia, specifically Melbourne. Does anyone know who made the monitor for this model? If not where I might be able to get such a detailed spec so I can find out for myself and who I might talk to to get my hands on one? Cheers Mr. Smith

The battery shows a full charge on the indicator on the battery, but pull the AC out and the computer goes dead. ????????? Help! Jim

Compaq Presario 1200, Model 12XL325 The screen has started to flicker on and off several times as the cover is being closed. I fear there is a loose or intermitent connection developing between the unit and the cover/lid/screen. Has anyone had a similar experience? Can it be repaired? If so,...

I was very fortunate to trade my very nice, new, expensive laptop for a Compaq Presario 1200 US* which has a very slow Celeron chip and very little memory, 128mb is soldered in and 256mb was added making a total of 320mb. Believe it or not, the thing is capable of doing what I need done, I use...

Can anyone please provide instuctions on how to remove the CD drive from a Compaq Presario 1201T? Thank you for your assistance.

I have a Compaq Presario 1210 laptop. 96 megs of ram, 150 mhz processor, Win95 - works great. However, about a year ago, the PCMCIA card slot stopped working. Cards fit it, but the operating system won't recognize them. I've tried reformatting, putting on Linux, opening up the case and looking...

Hi, I need a replacement motherboard for a presario laptop 1210us with an AMD processor (about 800mhz). So as to broaden my search, does anyone know about compatibility with other models in the 1200 series, or any other series? Thanks

Hey All I have a presario 1230 LCD in good condition with the top cover. It comes intact with the power cable for the LCD and the flat ribbon cable for data to the LCD. The flat cable was replaced new by me a few months back. So its in good condition too. Email me for a price. mouloid AT hotmail...

Well I tried to restore my compaq presario 1230, but don't have the manual with the product key. I bought this laptop from a friend since the screen was bad. Come to find out that it was just a $40 cable.. I've tried dozens of product keys that I have from computers that I don't need anymore. ...

Hello all, I just helped my friend boot up her new compaq. All was well except she was unable to hook up to her MSN account and the Zip Drive/printer. The printer was a slave off the zip drive. The net problem was a MSN error and resolved. But the zip drive/printer problem was not. I have not...

how do I get to this I have forgotten thanks

My 1245 laptop has a few issues. The floppy drive has died and the battery is dead too. I can live with that (I use the 110 plug all the time anyway, probably what killed the battery anyway). I figure that a PCMCIA driven floppy will care for the drive problem.... will it???? Or should I use a USB...

My daughter, who lives in a different town, was just given a used Presario 1247 Notebook. She is very much a newbie and would like to get a copy of the original instruction/installation/operating manual that probably came with the machine. I checked on-line at Compaq (HP) and have not found a...

I have a Compaq Presario 1200 laptop which works perfectly, but the screen is hard to read because it has one of the older monitors that you have to look at at just the right angle to see. I recently got a broken Presario 1250, which has the newer monitors which can be viewed from any angle....

This might be a dumb question but... how do I correctly install an AMD-6 CPU into the socket (7) on a Compaq Presario 1260? There are two little tags on either side of the socket that say "open" and "lock" and the small sliding device locks into place fine without the CPU in... but when I put the...

I know this is an old post, but for any other readers, I just successfully installed w2k on a 1260, without any magic keypresses to disable ACPI.. every time a reboot happened I had to switch off the machine and let it cold-start, however, otherwise the screen would corrupt and the machine...

I'm getting very very dim display on my 1270. I've now put in 3 different LCD, 3 inverters and am getting the same result. The display is actually so dim that it is almost not able to be seen. Does anyone have any idea of what is wrong and what I need to do to fix the problem? Thanks, Michael

I'm running XP on my preario and it doesn't want to let me use the legacy floppy drive. I keep enabling it but no joy. Anyone have sucess with this? Thanks, Dave
