Compaq Armada 7400 BIOS not ACPI compliant
I have 2 identical Armada laptops that I have used for the last 3 or 4
years. One of them now fails to boot. Just as Windows is starting it displays a blue screen with the message that the bios is not ACPI compliant. On advice from other sources I replaced the Compaq auxiliary battery. The problem remains. I have not changed the RTC battery as I have not been able to find a suitable replacement. I seem to be unable to boot into the BIOS. Everything I read says to wait until the cursor is in the upper right hand corner of the screen and hit one of the Fx keys. My cursor never sits in the upper right hand corner of the screen. F8 will get me to the point where I can try to boot in safe mode but this, too, gives me the blue screen result. Any pointers would be much appreciated. TIA Larry |
