All, I've just replaced the motherboard of my 1GHz presario laptop with a similar board from a 900MHz machine. I am using the same 1GHz processor. Is there anything I must/can do to get 1GHz performance from this new system or am I stuck at 900MHz from now on? And before anyone asks, I'm a...

i have searched hp's site and comes up with a dead link that won't load on my system. Could be a firewall or av issue on my end. But would really like to see and have a copy of this manual. Not sure why this type of info isn't shipped with unit! Thanks everyone

Anyone got the skinny on Ipaqs. I admit I've pretty much ignored them. however a friend has a deal for several at $45.00 a piece and wants to hook his family in the Philippines up with them. Worth the trouble or just a waste of time? KC

Hi everyone, Hoping someone here can help. I'm trying to dig up the front panel connector assignments for a "PWA-Hendrix" motherboard. The original Compaq part number was 010697-101. It has since been replaced (or was replaced) with another type of motherboard, HP part number is 174535-001. Please...

I was given three Compaq 36G hard drives by someone. They're 7200 RPM, Ultra Wide SCSI, model AA03631AC6. That plus a 9G Wide Ultra SCSI3, part number 313706-B21, model MAB3091SC. All four seem to not want to be formatted properly or have Windows install all the way. I've checked the FAQ, went...

I have an old Compaq Presario with a 466 Celeron Processor, 256 MB Ram, 12 GB Hard Drive. I have installed a USB 2 card. Would anyone know if I can use an external USB Hard drive (say 40 GB)with this computer? I understand there is a limitation on the size of an internal hard drive with older...

The RA4000 and RA4100 fibre array software warns you that you cannot expand drives when they run under Windows 2000. What is the observed behavior for such cases? I tried to do it with a small sample NTFS volume I created, and it worked without any problems at all. -- Will Internet: westes at...

I have a Presario 6000 (6rpxe1) with a 220 watt psu. The fan is gone on my ti4200 graphics card and was considering upgrading it. I'd like to go with a second tier type card (6800 or x700) but have been told I'll need a better psu. Anyone know a psu that will fit and handle any proprietary needs...

Hello everyone, I've cruised along the newsgroup and found nothing about that: I've been told that the MiniPCI slot in the Evo N800w could accept a 802.11g module but there was NO way to install antennas in the laptop chassis, lacking some room to make the antenna cables fit in eventual free...

I'm setting up a Compaq Deskpro EN PIII 866MHz mini tower computer I bought the other day with Debian Sarge (3.1 testing). I can't figure out what graphics chipset it has though, or what settings to put in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 . I'm using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to build the file. If...

Hello, I want to run the system restore disk. However my keyboard is not powered during bootup to make the proper selection to start the process. That also makes me unable to enter the bios. I've reset the bios by moving the jumper pin and also replaced the battery. Any suggestions?

would just like to share, I have discovered the .zip password for this disc. (let a .zip password cracker chew on the files for several days before i gave that route up) after trying lots of permutaions, i just decided to try all the numbers in the filename, omitting the 'b' at the end. with the...

Hello, I was given a presario to use and I want to see if I can get XP on there so I can use it as my everyday computer. When I try to use "quick" restore, it gives me error xxx.xx and says I need to contact compaq (which i WON'T do). The other option is to do a manual reinstall. I've done this...

Is there any way to force drives that are inserted into a 4214R drive array to autostart? Apparently the host is sending the start unit to these drives by default. I have an application exposing drives through fibre channel where the start unit is not sent by the host, and I need the drive to...

I'll apologize in advance for the length since I'm sure I won't be able to make a long story short. Friend of mine nuked her hard drive due to virus/spyware problems, unaware that this thing has those tools and such on the D partition. It was only when she had problems using her factory restore...

Just when I got a hand on that dang yenk format now I find something called "rar." What in the heck is this? And is there a good free program to open up these files?

Hello All, I'm new here. I have a compaq presario 1500 laptop. It's 2 years old. The problem I have now is that there are blue vertical lines everywhere on the monitor. I tried to reboot the computer and turned it off and on, but the lines remained there. Sometimes red lines also appear on the...
