Compaq laptop V2000

Compaq laptop V2000 has no "hibernation" mgmt in the power options. How do I add it?
I reloaded XP Home on my Compaq V2000 notebook. Now I do not have "hibernate" as a power management option. Also, the function-key "sleep" button does nothing. Do I need to download a driver or an XP patch to get the hibernate alternative back?

In Control Panel, Power Options you should have a Tab which says Hibernate. You can then enable Hibernation. If you not have the Tab then make sure you have installed all the Service Packs up to SP3.

How can i tell my compaq laptop to lock the keyboard?

How can i tell my compaq laptop to lock the keyboard?
Some of the keys on my keyboard on my laptop are broken, so i am currently using one ive plugged into the usb port, it would be highly convenient to set the new c=keyboard on top of the old one, instead of having it resting on my lap as i type. the problem is is that when i Type it pushed the keys below it and they interfere. how can i lock the laptop keyboard but still use the external one? i tried turning on sticky/filter keys but that locked both Keyboards

You never noticed the little black shiny camera lens on the top of your screen? Ah well whatever. Anyhow there should be software on your computer that came with it, Open your start menu and all programs, you should find something like webcam or something related to your computer brands systems. If you are unable to find it, try opening your search bar and typing in webcam or video. You will find it eventually. When you do make a shortcut of it on your desktop to prevent the headache of finding it later. Good luck and have fun!

Go to control panel. Open Camera/Imaging Devices. If your camera is not there, look for the support CD that comes with your laptop. Install the webcam driver. If the camera is working, you should see it in Windows Explorer right away.

I have replace the screen and the inverter on a compaq f700 laptop but still have a dim image. Any ideas?

I have replace the screen and the inverter on a compaq f700 laptop but still have a dim image. Any ideas?
Screen went dim (no backlight) can see it fine if I plug in a monitor. I could see faint image if I shined a light on screen. I replaced the screen and the inverter, but the image is still very dim. Looking for ideas. The laptop was 4 days out of warranty and compaq wanted a minimum of 398.00 to fix it.
