Copaaq 700US laptop will not power on by

I am trying to get my sisters 700US laptop to turn on. There are no signs
of life whatsoever. No lights anywhere, no fans... nothing. The power cord
and supply are new and known to work. We do not know about the battery,
even though the little window is at 100% on it.
How can I get this bugger...

Compaq Presario FX700 by
schism
Does anyone know where to get drivers for this monitor to make it work
at least somewhat correctly on a non Compaq Windows XP system? I have
gotten one of these and can't seem to find any drivers to make the
buttons on the front of it work.
Thanks
Bill

Restore CD by
Guy
My HD crashed and I lost the restore image.. I have the XP Home Upgrade CD
but it needs to read a prior OS to upgrade. This is for a Presario 7110US..

Memory upgrade advice by
PORK SODA
Hi gang,
A guy at work has a Compaq Presario (possibly a 2247) and he's looking to
upgrade the memory. Will a standard single side 128mb SDRAM do the job or
does this use special memory?
Ta in advance,

Presario 1525US & 802.11b multiport by
SSeaW
My wireless connection is all setup and running like a charm right now. But
I have one concern. The fan seems to NEVER shut off! Is this normal? If
the fan is constantly running when I'm connected via a wireless connection,
isn't it draining my battery faster?

ATI Driver & DVD Issue Update by
SSeaW
Well I discovered what the problem was, at least I think I did.
I had uninstalled WinDVD and decided just to use Windows Media Player to
watch DVD's. Since it's only a notebook and I don't have 5.1 or 6.1
speakers connected to it why bother with paying 50 or 60 dollars for high
quality DVD...

CPUs by
Kevin Childers
I see that Tom's Hardware has released it's annual CPU comparison list. If your wondering how they stack up side by side before you upgrade you might want to check it out. From my perspective the AMDs don't overclock as well as Intel's, but dollars to Mhz, they offer more bang for the buck.
