Compaq Presario SR1802NX Drivers by Joe Terry
I just bought a Compaq Presario SR1802NX with Windows XP Home on it. I immediately loaded XP Pro on the machine, only to discover that I had no drivers for some of the MB devices -- a critical one being the network card. Does anyone have a copy of the Compaq/HP dirvers? Thanks for your help.

Presario won't keep broadband connection by takoma
I have two computers on a 4 port (wired) router through a cable modem. The Presario 6420 will not maintain broadband connection if left idle, and sometimes even while surfing. The other system, a homebuilt, never loses connection through the same network. Any suggestions?

e500 shrunken display by seaweedsteve
Hey all. I just picked up an E500 on ebay. I'm testing it and see that the display is shrunken. It has no OS yet. When it boots, it gives the full screen Compaq name, but then in BIOS or DOS it is only has a 4x5" display in the middle of the screen. What might be causing that? Thanks, Steve

LCD problem by dwaynebailey
I have a Compaq Evo n1020v. The display is very faint. There is almost no contrast. You can see it a little better if you have it at an extreme angle. I'm wondering if the whole display needs replaced or if it may be an inverter board, or something much less expensive to replace.

Do Compaq Armada M700s feature Speedstep CPUs? by Neil Barras
I rescued 4 of these systems from an office clearance. There are 2x 500MHz P3s, 1x 650MHz P3 and 1x 600/750. It is this last one that raises the question, because in the BIOS, it is reported as a 750, whilst CPUz reports a 600. What's the reason? Thanks, Neil
