Hi everybody, I remember way, way back in the early 90's that compaq pcs were not trully compatible with hardware from other manufacturers. When you needed certain parts you had to get that part from compaq and no one else. I'm almost sure that already changed, but don't really know it for sure. I...

I just did a factory restore on my Compaq Presario after four or five years since getting it. It originally came with McAfee but I never installed it. I decided instead to buy and use Norton anti-virus. After four years of being on the net I sure have read a lot about Norton slowing down...

Hello - I have a Compaq Presario 5000 machine and want to add a CD-R. It currently has a CD drive and one free slot. I am pulling my hair out trying to understand how to install the second drive. After popping off the small rectangle plastic cover, I was expecting to see an opening to slide the...

Im working on a Compaq n610c laptop. It runs fine off of AC power. When I remove the AC cable there is a distinct squeal coming from the computer. I have disassembled it and found that the squeal was coming from the area of the DC-DC converter which is mounted right above the processor. I...

Just got it back today, found that it won't notice that a card is engaged in the slot. Was wondering if there's a software switch or something to turn on. I know I can take it...

Hi.. I have a Presario 7000US which came with a 1.2Ghz AMD Athlon Processor. The mainboard is a Compaq 062CH and I would like to upgrade to a faster CPU without changing the mainboard or anything else (if possible). Can anyone tell me, the largest CPU I can use with my existing system and which...
