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.

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...

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

I did a quick search of Google and found that the Compaq BIOS can't be

Problem installing on old Compaq by
Mike T.
Hi,
I have an *old* Compaq LTE 5280 that I'm trying to set up for a friend.
