Could someone tell me which motherboard Compaq 5BW160 has? Would it be possible to change the BIOS to one provided by the motherboard manufacturer instead of using the Compaq's BIOS? Thank you!

I just bought a used 7800. I have 2 questions: 1.There are 2 volume control keys above the power switch on the chassis. How are they controlled? Is it software? I cannot find software on the HP/Compaq site that controls them, and they do not appear to adjust the volume. 2. It has an internal...

I acquired an old Presario 5184 recently. It had Win2000 installed on it. The OS has become corrupt and I'm trying to install Win98 on it, after repartitioning and reformatting the HD to get rid of all the old stuff. I'm seeing a couple of messages during boot-up that make me think there is...

I recently purchased a Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop. The processor is an Athlon XP Mobile 2400+. I know the actual readout of Mhz is not going to be 2400 Mhz, but I know for sure that the 518 Mhz read out that I am getting is definatley wrong. I am not sure if the problem lies in the readout, or...

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...
