Anyone else still using Presario 3060? by Mike Calkins
There are a few others out there using them. Initially sold as the 3020, and a bit ahead of it's time, later completed units were the 3060. I think there was an ES model, (education series) as well. was a little pricey, and while a work of art, I believe that the manufacturer underestimated...

Presario 4180 HDD troubles by Mike Calkins
Did you use the same IDE cable in the other boxes? If not, it might be the cable. Otherwise, try moving the hard drive to a different power supply connector, I'd also check all drive power supply leads for proper voltage levels. I prefer to check the voltage levels when a drive is not plugged...

Presario 524 Maxfax software by Mike Calkins
I see you are from outside the US. In the US, the 534 shipped with MediaPilot, but the earlier Presario 425 shipped with MaxFax. I still have a couple in the garage, let me see if they'll boot. It would be a US version, though. Mike in Houston "robt" wrote in...

Unable to access Setup/BIOS by Mike Calkins
follow-up from previous answer (posted at 1644 CST 2Sep03) SP2141 & SP2373 are the correct Setup and Diags for this model. Create the floppies from the softpaq files (by executing SP2141.EXE and executing SP2373.EXE), and with the new hard drive blank, boot the SP2141 floppy disk. This will...

Compaq Presario 1275 by Mike Hunt
I got a Presario 1275 from a family member. Didn't get the restore cd with it. I reformatted and loaded up a copy of win 98se. I runs really well except for the video. Using the drivers on the 98se cd can only get 640x480. I suspect the video driver I need is on the restore cd. Anyone know where I...

Is memeory specific to each make of computer? (Copmpaq / HP swap) by Mike in DE.

Anyway to remove "Compaq" logo from bootup sequence? by Mike Roll
Hi all, I'm putting together a system with spare parts that I have laying around, including an OEM version of the FIC AZ31 motherboard. But I don't want to advertise its Compaq origin. I did a quick search of Google and found that the Compaq BIOS can't be reflash to the FIC one. Is there any...

compaq 5000US question by Mike0000
I have a heavily modified 5000US (replaced drive, filled ram, replaced chip, replaced videocard, etc) and would like to keep it for a while, but the power supply noise is killing me. It has this horrible whine to it. A quick look at it suggests its ATX sized, but can anyone confirm this? Yeah, I...
