I can't get my LCD to dim. The Fn F6/F7 seem to have no effect. It is definitely NOT the LCD itself, or the cables (I have swapped the lid and the fault stays with the base) Seems a strange one as the picture is excellent - but it eats the batteries unnecessarily fast Thanks David

My Compaq Presario 5000 Series is having it's first major hardware problem since I got the thing five years ago. A few days ago I booted it up in the morning and I heard a strange noise. It did not stop. It was kind of a grinding noise. Like something was stuck on. This was early in the...

No serious risk of damage to a computer plugging these in. A lot of PCMCIA cards used a cable (called a dongle) to connect either to an RJ11 phone cable or to an Ethernet. If you don't have a dongle to match a card, the card is pretty useless. Chekc the various vendors' web sites for drivers and...

I replaced my M700's battery after it died and the new one charges up to 100% but will not power the laptop, and sometimes I have to remove the new battery to start the laptop. Battery has same part number as the old one but doesn't have a tiny strip in the opposite corner as the...

I have a Compaq Armada 1700 6300/T/5000/D/0/1, which has worked well, apart from the original 5GB hard disk drive which failed, so I replaced it with a Fujitsu 10GB 2.5 inch HDD and jumpered it as Cable Select like the original, and it worked fine in conjunction with the original UJDA150 CDROM...

I bought a very nice used monitor for $10. It is a Compaq Presario 1410 Monitor. But I don't know how to adjust picture width or height. At 640 by 480 24 true bit color everything is OK. When I try to go to 800 by 600, the picture is slightly larger than the screen. I can't figure out how to...

I have just found out that we have an old computer running Compag web based management. How do you turn this off on W98, do you just uninstall it from add remove programs? I would prefer a method where I don't reboot, but it is running on a system with W98, so my guess a reboot is inevitable.

Hello, I have a laptop Compaq Preasrio R3000 which currently has NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go 64M. I would love to be able to uprade my video card. I'm not sure if I can. I have heard two differnet opinions. That its possible and that its not. I'm confused about who to believe. If it is possible, I...
