I am trying to help my daugther's nanny by upgrading her Presario to something better. I need to find out more details about the motherboard configuration but cannot find it anywhere, and compaq's website does not list that info. Basically, I need to know the fastest processor the mobo will...

Hi, I am having trouble sourcing a power supply in the UK for my old Compaq Armada 1750. Does anybody know where I can get one? Cheers Lenny

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?

cant seem to id the model i have any ideas... have a armada 7400 6366t13x.... has internal modem... cannot get into bios with F10 as per man... also NO OS works with modem... maybe off in bios... can anyone point the way?

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 12-year-old Compaq Presario CDS 520 desktop machine that (astonishingly) is still running after all these years - however, it's recently become highly tempramental as to whether it wants to power up or not, and I suspect the cause of this is that the CMOS battery needs replacing. The...

hello, i have a very big problem.... If someone have a compaq armada m300 battery, please can tell me the output voltage of every connecting terminal? Thanks

What's the fastest processor I can fit into my Presario 5000 PC (Model No: 5WV254, currently fitted with an AMD Duron 700 MHz processor, and 448 Mb of RAM)? Would a more up-to-date processor enhance performance to any appreciable degree? I don't do games, just office stuff, photo-editing, audio...

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...

Buying a new laptop this week - for price and features, the Compaq R3030US (or if I decide I really need a DVD burner, the R3050) seems to have everything I could ask for, at a price I can afford. But how good are they? I've heard some negatives about Compaq, but then again I've heard bad things...

Hi I have an old 4400US with a celeron 1.3; I had previously upgraded it to 512mb RAM & a 250 GB hdd & I was wondering what would be the best option if I want to upgrade the processor as frugaly as possible. I recently saw a combo deal at newegg for a AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 San Diego 2.6GHz Socket...

Some months back I replaced the failed mobo and PS in my Compaq 5005CL with an MSI mobo and Enermax PS. I was unable to connect the front USB connectors to the mobo because the - presumably unique - Compaq cable did not fit the MSI mobo. I thought I could live with it, but now would like to have...

Hi to the group.. A friend of mine bought one of these computers and she complained that it was slow. It has a P4- 2.4 Gig processor, 512 ram and a 80 Gig drive. After checking the computer over, I too find the computer to be very slow...slow in Defrag and not real responsive overall. I have...

Hi, When playing a game on our computer yesterday, my husband sneezed violently (don't laugh, he's very loud and literally ground-shaking) and the whole system powered off like a switch had been flipped. I can't turn the system back on. I tried a new power cord, plugged into a different power bar...

Hi all, what is the max. supported HDD-size for the LTE 5400?? Anyone knows? Thank you! Euro

How do we determine the multiplier? I have installed an AMD K6- 300 MHz from a 2256 presario into a 5304 presario- 133 MHz. When I go to turn the computer on - nothing happens, just a blank screen, except for a blinking cursor. I've located most of the infor- mation but unsure about two things. ...

Hi, I've got a refurb 6325cl presario. It has a bad habit of locking up. When this happens the screen shrinks to ~80% of normal size and oscillates wildly. The PC becomes totally locked up - no inputs allowed at all - keyboard mouse - nothing. I can reset by holding the power button for...

I know it's there for a reason, but I have my computer in my bedroom, and that power light is simply annoying, especially at night! Maybe if it weren't so bright... Anyway, I have a Compaq Presario SR1020NX, and I was wondering if there was any setting I could change to turn the lights out on...

I've been trying to call 800-652-6672 for about a week now. After listening to about 5 minutes of prompts and information about the blaster virus, I go into the support queue and am disconnected after about a minute. I need to get in touch with Compaq ASAP to order a quick restore CD. I've...
