Hi all I'm looking for the schematic of the "extension port 2 " on a compaq laptop V5115EU any help ? Thanks in advance Daniele

I've got two sticks of 128 MB ram and have room for one more. If I add a stick of 256 MB, does the order in which the three sticks are installed make any difference? Can I just put the 256 stick in the third slot or must I put it in the first slot and move a 128 stick to the third slot? Compaq...

I have an HP Compaq d330T desktop computer. I had trouble with the computer powering itself off after about a minute. In the past I had trouble with the CPU fan getting full of dust and loud, so once again I removed it and vacuumed it out. However, after I put the fan back in, the computer...

I currently have 500MB RAM for a HP Compaq d330T desktop computer. What do I have to do to upgrade it to 1GB? What kind of RAM? How much does 1GB cost these days? --Tim923

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 have a few users who have Compaq Evo's (not my choice!). In any case, it seems like it's random behavior, but it must be initiated by end-user action - in this case, unintended action. It's as if the screen becomes virtual and is much larger than the monitor can display; to "move" around the...

The standard RAM in this machine is 256mb. I am trying to upgrade by adding a 512mb card (specs say it's upgradable to 1GB). I am using an ULTRA DDR Memory (PC2700, 333mHz) which is compatible with PC2100 266mHz). When adding this card to the 2nd slot, the system is not recognizing it. I took...

I replaced the CD drive in my Presario 5000T desktop yesterday with a Philips DVD8301/44 I got from a friend without documentation or box. From what I can find on Google it should read both CDs and DVDs. However, it reads only DVDs. This happens under both Windows XP Home and Ubuntu Linux 7.10....

Running Windows XP. CD drive has stopped working. It seems to be spinning but does not read anything. What can I check? Thanks.

Does the charter of this group include HP, as well as Compaq?

Does HP make a RAID controller for SAS/SATA that supports the use of an internal and external array concurrently? The external port on the P600 is disabled when an internal array is present. -- Will

HP marketed the Adaptec 2610SA as the HP 6 Port SATA RAID Controller. I looked on HP Downloads, but the Windows 2003 "driver" for this controller isn't a driver at all. The controller works under Windows XP but doesn't show up in Device Manager except as an uninstalled "RAID...

So I recently installed a new graphics card (GeForce 8600 GT) and a power supply. Everything was working great. I installed the new drivers for the graphics card. Then there was no sound. Re-installed the sound drivers and everything was dandy again. Computer restarted and booted fine so I turned...

Does anyone have the HP spare number for the filler blank that goes into the MSA 60 storage enclosure? HP support gave me 389015-001, but when I order this I get something totally incorrect for the MSA 60...wrong size wrong style, not hotswappable. I downloaded the MSA 60 maintenance manual,...

I have a friend who did a dumb-a** thing and bought a Compaq Presario SR1503WM a little over a year ago. He never created the back-up/rescue CD's and now the PC crashed (I believe the registry became corrupted, and I may be able to fix that). However, he called HP/Compaq to order the CD(s). They...
