Hello. I have a compaq deskpro (EXD/C600/10c/9/64 NL) running windows 2000 which has an integrated soundcard (SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio).

PRESARIO MODEL 12XL125 As soon as you turn on the laptop computer does the fan start running or does it have to reach a certain temperature inside before it turns on? Bob

A friend's little used 5301RSH suddenly failed to come on at all. Since it would not fire up, the only thing I could check on the power supply is that it had 5 vdc standby voltage. An ohm meter seemed to indicate that front panel switch was not making contact. I figured out which pins to short...

Anyone here have any suggestions on this? It has already been suggested that the CMOS battery might be dead, but it appears to hold the correct date and time. Additionally, can anyone think of a way to automatically include them in post to this group and their post from that group in this one? ...

I have a version 1, legacy-free IPAQ Desktop system (PIII/500). Currently I am using it with FreeBSD 4.10 using a USB keyboard and mouse. However I would like to run this system headless (no keyboard, mouse or monitor). On generic systems this simply requires turning off in the BIOS stopping...

I was setting up a Compaq Presario SR1012 for someone whose old Compaq 5301RSH (both from Radio Shack) had died, and I thought I would put the hard drive from their old PC in the new tower. But the tower has no spare drive bay or anywhere else to mount another hard drive, and the cable is just a...

After installing Win2000 on a Presario 16XL255 notebook the PCMCI slot is not working. The system does not accept the installation of the correct drivers for both the PCMCIA XIRCOM Ethernet/Modem card and Wireless LAN card. Error code 10 (This device can not start) is given. Pls. advice. Regards,...

On my S6900NX, there is a blue square a couple of pixels in each direction, dead center in the screen. Killing the process Backweb removes it, so I'm going out on a limb here and saying the two are related... What is Backweb used for, this is a pretty new PC, so I'm guessing it is tied to...

I'm working on an older Compaq Presario. I think the model is CM0204, since this is the only number found on the machine (on the back). Anyway, the original HDD went bad, and I had to do a clean boot of Win98SE. However, as you probably can guess, I can't find the drivers to reinstall the onboard...

Now that HP has taken over Compaq, their "help desk" is laughable. Pat

My fan died on the Armada M700. I can't get it to start spinning again and XP reboots every 20 minutes or so. I'm guessing it is doing this because the laptop is getting too hot. I have taken all the screws out of the casing that I can find but I still can't take it apart to expose the...

Hello. I've recently been given a Presario with a PIII 450 Mhz processor, and have an old PIII 600 Mhz (600/512/100/2.05V) sitting in a box doing nothing. So I'd like to pop it in the Presario and have things go a bit faster. However, I'm lazy and don't want to go disassembling the thing to put...
