I'd like to upgrade my processor in my Presario 5423US.It has a 1.6 P4 at 400mhz.Compaq support gives you the standard"consult local service center"nonsense.The most common answer is that it will support at least a 2.0,but which version,there are many models to choose from,even if you narrow it...

I have a compaq presario 5150. I've upgraded it to a dvd-rom drive, cd-r drive and more memory. Now I need more hard drive space. I can't find 5.25 hard drives but I can get and adapter and just use a 3.5? I want to get 80 gb and put Windows2000 on it. Would it be able to handle those upgrades?

I have a Compaq Presario 5900Z with Athlon 750 processor running Win98. It appears my original video card is dying, I'm getting large vertical lines of garbage down the screen in all modes, including the Compaq splash screen. Moving the cursor effectively obliterates anything it passes over. If...

I have a DeskPro EX 866 Desktop. I am going to upgrade the mobo and many of the components. Will a non-compaq mobo fit in the case or will that too have to go in the skip? Dan

I have a Compaq Armada 7800. With the power cord connected the laptop runs fine and power management reports only 3% of the battery is full and that it is still charging when in fact its not. I have a new battery and external charger so I know the battery is good and fully charged, also the...

I just started a new job and my new laptop is the Compaq tablet. I like the idea of the tablet, but this machine is horrible. The concept and ergonomics are excellent, but what idiot picked the Transmeta Crusoe processor? It is so slow you can watch the menus open in slow motion. Oh, and a 10"...

Anyone using Nero Express with a Compaq Computer? When I copy Pictures for showing on a DVD using VCD or SVCD the most pictures I can copy are 96 and the CD shows only 60 Mb of space used. I've Emailed Ahead software on several occasions - but guess what no response. Does anyone know a good...

Can anyone help me. I have a Compaq Deskpro (old 166 mhz version) and would like to install a soundcard but I think the PNP function in the bios is not engaged. Pressing F10 during start up does nothing at all. Any one know how I can gain access to the BIOS to check this out thanks Taff

The internal keyboard just up and quit working, leaving me brother with only a, x, caps lock, and 1 keys working. Using external keyboard works fine but it's a PITA to lug around extra keyboard. I've taken it apart and cleaned and reseated the keyboard connector but it made no difference. I...

Hi there, I've just got a handheld unit, the Compaq Aero 2100. I would like to install Excel & Word onto it. Can I download those applications from the Net, or do I have to purchase them? Are there any general tips that you could give me. This is my first handheld. Thanks,

We had a lightning strike nearby the other day, and I lost the sound on my Compaq 6320US. My old Compaq laptop had a system diagnostic program to test the system hardware, but I can't find one on this computer, or on the support website. I'm running XP Pro. Any ideas?

No,it all depends on the processor and equipment installed,though most seem terribly underpowered.My 5423US is a Pentium 4 model,and only has a 235 watt psu,barely enough to do the job.Since most decent graphics cards require at least 300 watts these days,you'll probably need a bigger...

Hi all, Like many others I bought a compaq presario laptop 700 series (729EA) and after a while I discovered it was prone to overheating (an understatement if ever I heard one!). I trawled through the newsgroups and google applying various patches etc, looking on the compaq website and applied...
