Bob Levine
I've got a neighbor who owns a Presario 5000, model 5003US. I just
upgraded the machine to XP from ME with a clean install. Runs much
better now, but he also bought a 128 meg PNY memory module for it at

Family member's Presario 5000 just bit the big one.
Over the phone, it sounds like the power supply.
I've got a couple of ATX power supplies laying around and I drive

Seems like both 5.25 and 3.5" devices are on some sort of clips/rails that need
tb squeezed from the front of the case.

I bought a CD/DVD drive to replace the CD drive in my 5000T Presario.
Removing the side panel was no problem but it looks the the other parts
of the cabinet are riveted to the chassis. I can see no way to remove and
replace the CD drive. Can someone please help? I'm afraid to get too
ambitious...

I'm trying to take out the cd drives but they have some funky plastic locks

Presario 5008US - adding 2nd hard drive? by
Lukas
I tried Compaq tech support, and got shunted to and fro between at
least 5 people, and got nowhere.
Anyway, is it possible to add a 2nd hard disk to the 5008US, what type
and how large can one go?
Thanks,

Hi group.
I'm concidering flashing 'up' the BIOS in my Presario 5030 using a non-
compaq one. (YES, I know this is no-no, and immoral etc) But I imagine this
will give me greater control over the PC. However, as you can imagine, I
