The screen looks ok it just flickers (to black and then back again) and sometimes several times, then sometimes it won't do it for awhile, then it'll start...

Hi. I have a deskpro6000, model 6200 with an scsi disk, and a floppy disk. some time ago i booted to the setup partition and disabled some devices i thought i didn't want to use. then i did a low level format of the scsi drive. now i want to start over, and i have my 3 compaq setup disks, but...

The remaining problem with this DeskPro EN 866 sff is that the floppy drive won't work. Initially the seller, a refurbishing company, seem to have not plugged the power connector in (labelled P2?), which I've now done. I don't see how any of the leads can be in wrong - they seem to only go one...

Can someone tell me what the "Fn" key does on a Compaq keyboard and how to use it? I just bought a Compaq CPQ125KB keyboard and noticed a key marked "Fn" located below the ENTER key. In the brief manual that came with the keyboard there is no mention of this key. Would appreciate any information. ...

Further to my earlier questions: I know that with DVD players there are plus and minus systems and one won't play on the other format. How does this work with DVD-Rs? I don't want to copy footage onto a DVD-R and then find that some people can't use the disks. Peter

Sorry if this has been asked before but here goes. I am going to clean up a friend's computer. I am well experienced with most brands except Compaq. The system was purchased in February 2001. So I remember something about the BIOS settings being on the hard drive of Compaqs but am not sure how...

Hello..I have a friend who has a Compaq Presario 1681 someone gave him and he wishes to format it and do a clean install of Windows XP onto it...How would one format the hard drive of this particular computer and how does one start it in MS-DOS mode?..Thank you ever so much

I have a friend whose Compaq Presario recently crashed due to buildup of viruses. The recovery partition did its job and the computer works again - albeit slowly and with lots of freezing and glitches. I talked to him and we decided to completely format the drive and reinstall Windows XP, the...

I'm getting ready to upgrade the memory in a Presario 5660 from 128 to 384. The system hasn't been formatted since it was purchased in December 1998. The system has Win98 on it now, but I will be upgrading it to XP. I will upgrade the BIOS, then format everything. I've formatted quite a few...

Last night I hurriedly went to connect the psu cable to my 2178ea and put it in another port by mistake. There was a slight crackle and the computer is now dead with none of the power indicator lights on. I want to salvage the contents of the hard drive and assume it wont be affected. Do I need to...

Anybody have the pinout for the front panel leads for the Compaq Evo P4 microATX motherboard, part #308897-001 ? Can't find anything on the HPaq web site, and the board is not well marked. This is a board with two DIMM sockets running diagonally. Thanks much... Ben Myers

Some months back I replaced the failed mobo and PS in my Compaq 5005CL with an MSI mobo and Enermax PS. I was unable to connect the front USB connectors to the mobo because the - presumably unique - Compaq cable did not fit the MSI mobo. I thought I could live with it, but now would like to have...

Hi all, I looking for front panel USB pinout There is 4 / 5 pins on MB http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/9996/012hs0.jpg] And same number of pins on my new case connector http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7108/02so8.jpg] I`d download user manuals from HP.com, but still can't find USB pinout

I am about to replace the entire motherboard in the above mentioned. Does anyone know if the USB ports on the front of the case have a standard pinout? They appear to be attached to a small circuit board with an IC chip and some surface mounted components. What I'm trying to figure out is how...
