Compaq Deskpro 386s model 2530 by [email protected]
I have gotten a Compaq Deskpro 386s From what I can see on this picture http://www.geocities.com/daniel_lebras/images/r0015149.jpg it must be the 2530 model. The first issue is that I don't know how to have more memory. The operating system I'm planning to run requires at least 8MB, and would...

Old Presario 1255, new to me by Wayne
Hi. I was looking for a rudimentary laptop to do some onboard diagnostics on my cars. My neighbour was kind enough to loan an older Presario 1255 to me, and it did the scan flawlessly! I decided to buy the laptop from him and now wish to upgrade the meager 32mb of hardwired memory to its max...

Hi, I've been given one of these laptops. It has a Celeron 566mhz cpu in it, looking through the Compaq documentation, i notice these have what looks like a socket370 on them for the cpu. What I wondered was, can these laptops take standard socket370 cpus? Also, are there suitable DVD drives...

Presario 2700 (2710US) Power Problem (Heat?) by Jay
I have 2 Compaq Presario 2710US laptops, both with the same symptom. When I power on, the fans kick on high speed almost immediately (well before windows loads) then the system shuts off. I'm guessing heat problems, both systems have been cleaned with pressurized air. I contacted Compaq but they...

Boot problem with Armada 7800 by Paul
I am having a boot problem with an old Armada 7800: 1. I cannot boot from anyplace but the hard drive. After I've booted, the system recognizes the floppy and/or the CD. But, during the boot process, only the hard drive is recognized. 2. When I boot, I get the following message:...

New Hard Drive for a Presario 4824 by PhoneMatt
Hey, Tom, Thanks for the reply. I find it odd, though, that the drive was pulled from an even older Presario 4712, where it worked fine. (I should have mentioned that it is partitioned into 5G partitions. Would that make a difference?) Setting it to cable select is no big deal, I've just always...
