Hi All, I may not be in the correct news group but does anyone know which one is for Compaq PDA's? That is if there is one. Thank you for your kind cooperation. Sincerely, John Chenis Protected by GIANT Company's Spam Inspector

Badly in need of video (monitor) drivers. Thanks, Vato

I tried to restore the factory setup by running the restore disks. The full load occurs through the three CDs. When the system tried to boot to XP Home I get a message that files are missing and can not get it to run. I have used the disks to restore on several occasions. Don't get it. Any help?

When I tried to add a spare Maxtor HDD that I have laying around, I got the message "1720 - Hard Drive detects imminent failure" during bootup. I tred to confirm the problem with Maxtor's diagnostic software, Powermax, and it did not find any problems. I also tried switching from primary IDE to...

I've run into a problem upgrading from Windows ME to XP Home on a Presario 5002US Desktop. We can't do a Clean install or an Upgrade Install. The XP installation disk refused to copy over 10 or 15 files. They are mostly .dll files and .drv files. The install gets to about 99 percent complete...

anybody got speakers for sale that work in stereo?

I upgraded from winXP home to winXP Pro. My DVD didn't like the transition, I get overlay failures in InterVideo winDVD gold 5. compaq chat help, not too helpful yet. Any one have any hints or opinions. -- Bob "If you are not confused, you don't

I am trying to create a partition using "Phdisk.exe" on a clients Presario 1650. The partition is crated at the end of the hard disk (as seen by Partition Magic 2003). However, when I go into the BIOS, I'm told that the partition doesn't exist. Note: I do not have a restore disk, nor does the...

I'm bound and determined to find out why this NEW power supply from compaq does not start up. The cmos battery is a good 3v and has been cleared. When trying to bench test I applied a 1/2 amp load to a 5v circuit then jumpered green wire to ground wire and nothing. I dont think the green wire is...

Hello, I got an old Compaq Presario M2000 from flea market for nothing. It starts, I installed an old Debian on it and it works. The only problem is that the battery is dead. I don't consider buying a new 2941B pack and instead replace it with a power supply.

COMPAQ PRESARIO 5320US 20 or 24 pin PS?

I realize it's been ~4 years, and the only explanation I have is that I was feeling nostalgic, remembering better times in alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq, wandering through the Google Groups archives when the subject of one of your messages struck me as interesting. On November 2nd, 2004 at 8:17 PM,...

Hello, I am looking for the pinouts for a couple of parts. 1 the firewire port on a presario sr1720nx. This is the port that the cable for the front firewire connector hooks up to.. 2 the 10 pin and 4 pin connectors on a 287476-001 compaq pci firewire card. These connectors

This topic was broached in 2005 and, as the poster feared, it "died on the vine." Never one to take a hint, I want to revive it. Laptop power jacks are *-_DESIGNED_-* to fail! Every one I've ever seen has a 4-5cm long stiff crowbar of a power plug that jams into a flimsy jack that's...

Hi Everyone, I have a Presario 1240 that was on loan to someone and was returned dead. It is possible that it was accidentally plugged into the wrong power supply (the supply from a printer was returned with it instead of the Presario supply). I've disassembled it in hopes of finding a...

I'm proposed to buy a brand new COMPAQ EVO N620c which production is discontinued. Do you think that will be possible to find replacement parts after say 2005 ? How about robustness of Compag batteries and notebook keyboard ? What should be the fair price ?

I'm very disappointed at the service I'm getting from COMPAQ!! But anyways, here's my problem~ -pushed the power button, everything starts up fine. -as usual, i can log in but that's it. -the mouse moves but nothing else shows up on screen except the desktop background image -the only problem i...

Does anyone have unlisted numbers or email addresses of people at HP who can actually help me get my computer fixed or replaced? My presario x1360 has just died for the fourth time and i can't bare going through the rigamerole again. Please email me at if you have any...
