contact Compaq. They might replace it for free if you're still under warranty
2 :
you can replace it all you need is the P/N or SPS number which is located on the adapter itself. you can get it from HP/Compaq or third party sites. Just google the P/N or SPS number

How much will it cost to repair busted off buttons of my Compaq Laptop?
How much will it cost to repair busted off buttons of my Compaq Laptop?
My two year old figured out how to open my computer and decided to rip off 14 keys, I have all the keys and some brackets most of those black squishy things are gone except 3. How much will it cost to repair?

1 :
you can buy an external keyboard that plugs into your laptop for about £9 from tesco or asda
2 :
If your computer is under warranty, you can just send it in for repairs. They'll do it, you'll get it back, the end. No charges.
3 :
That's going to be a problem (and most warranties don't cover 'abuse' which is what they'd probably think has happened). If the rubber domes have been ripped off then you are going to need a new keyboard (can't just push the key back on like you could if the key had just been pulled off), if the scissor mechanism (which might be what you call the brackets) has been removed it can be very hard to put it back together to the point at which it'd be new keyboard time. For a laptop I wouldn't be surprised if they charged you a couple of hundred to fix it (cost of new keyboard and cost of labour), plugging an external USB keyboard in would also work but would kind of defeat the purpose of having a laptop.

if youknow where all the buttons go ( if not , copy another keyboard ) ,spend a quiet time alone with atube of super glue ,a small applicator such as a sewing needle or a tapered down matchstick and stick them back yourself. dont replace two next to each other at a time though. try one at first and see how you go ,it`s got to be cheaper than a new laptop or costly repairs. in the meantime use the onscreen touch keyboard ( try under " remote assistance " if you can get to it . good luck tony.d
5 :
The "black squishy things" are more than a pain in the butt to put back on. The brackets and the buttons aren't much easier. The best way to fix it is buy a new keyboard (bout $20 on ebay) and replace it yourself. 99.9999% of the time, this is easily replacable with a #2 and #1 phillips-head screwdriver, and a prying wedge (such as a small flathead screwdriver) for any facades that cover the screws. The last time I worked on a compaq, the facade at the top just above the keyboard pops off (look for a small dent just off the panel where you can use the flathead to pry off the facade, not too hard, but very firm.) Use the screwdriver, take off the keyboard. It probably has a ribbon cable going from the keyboard into the motherboard, which should simply slide out. To replace, just go backwards through the steps. Of course, you could buy it and run it down to the local computer shop (best buy will charge you $200, mess it up, the sell you a warranty on their crappy work). Local shops usually will do this pretty cheap. I used to charge about $20-25

Compaq Compaq cq60-211
Easy 10 points: Which compaq laptop is better?
I'm planning on purchasing a laptop to use for school, web browsing, and watching videos. And between both of these model numbers, which one is the better choice: 1. Compaq CQ60-615DX or 2. Compaq Compaq cq60-211 dx

Between the two, I would say you should go for 615DX. Aside from the higher processor speed and storage capacity, it's also installed with windows 7 (211DX has vista). If you have more options I would recommend you go for other brands. I do some repairs for laptops and HP/Compaq units tend to heat more than normal. I don't have much experience with the CQ60 series but I got one client with burnt motherboard and the processor was damaged too. Another thing is that the heatsink for CQ60 is buried deep inside the base so in case it needs cleaning (remove accumulated dust to prevent overheating), you need to open the whole base. I am currently using Dell Inspiron 1545 and it seems to have a good thermal design. The temperature is OK and they designed it so you can have an easy access to the heatsink in case it gets dusty (there's a door at the bottom of the base). Same is true with the older model 1525 and maybe (just maybe) the other models have the same design too.

Are all compaq laptop chargers the same?
Ok, so my Compaq laptop charger broke and i need a new one. the laptop is not a newer one but it's not super old either. I have noooooo idea what year it is but taking a random guess, it's probably somewhere around 2007 or so? I'm looking at some on e-bay and i want to make sure before i buy it, it's the same charger.

Find the name of your laptop and you can look it up easier instead of just randomly guessing manufacturing dates (though I don't understand why that would matter). The name of the laptop can be found by right-clicking my computer or by looking at the laptop itself (could also be located on the bottom). You can look online on sites like ebay or amazon but I would personally suggest you visit Topmic instead. Topmic is well known for their great services and their durable products. They include free shipping and free lifetime warranty. Yes, lifetime. This means if the charger ever stops working on its own for whatever reason, they would replace it as many times as needed at no additional cost, for life. This is a great way to save money in the long run and a good investment as well. Here's their link: http://www.topmic.com Best of luck.

You can turn it on through the chatting program. I'm assuming you're using Skype. When you have Skype open, click on Call>Video>Enable or Turn on video.

If it's coming from the fan then the bearings inside are worn out. Should be a $10 replacement for a new fan.

Here is the breakdown, and no "a" is not obsolete nor is it the oldest either. The 802.11a is on 5,8ghz band. In many cases it will work better than the others as there is less interference in that range. All the others are on the 2.4 band b.g.n (n also may be dual banded and thus is actually a 2.4 and 5.8) there are routers for any of these. B is the slowest standard at 11mbs, G is at 54mbs, N can be 200 or above depending on the manufacturer. N is very nearly a finished standard but has not yet been "confirmed" - it should be shortly.

Hi, You would need to use a program that came with your pc that makes use of your webcam. Some Compaq laptops have the YouCam program installed, otherwise you can use it with skype or yahoo messenger. Firstly, just check if your webcam is recognized by the Operating System you are running. On Windows 7, right click on My Computer and click on properties > Click on Device Manager on the left pane > Go to Imaging devices and that should list your webcam. Hope this helps

Hi there, There is a Linux distro called Puppy Linux that is designed for older systems. It is a live CD you can download. Link below. You can download the 90-105 meg. iso file and burn an image to CD using BurnCDCC then boot your computer from your optical drive. This is a live CD that runs entirely in ram so you can test your hardware with the operating system. If you like it you can install from the live CD whenever you are ready. I have tried several live CDs and have installed Open SUSE 10 and 11 on my laptop (which has 512 megs of ram). Puppy Linux does about everything the other distros can do (but much faster). You should be able to use Puppy Linux on your system with no trouble. It has a nice graphical interface and if it's installed you can download Open Office and many other apps. I have tried about six different versions of Puppy Linux and they all work very well for me. Hope this helps, Al

Get a laptop, but watch out for Compaq they are not reliable, they overheat frequently, and they are just bad. Try getting either a better one that's not Compaq (will be more expensive) or if you have that set budget get a netbook.
5 :
============================================= Yes, but it at Best Buy. Too bad Circuit City is closed :( ============================================= I would say a Laptop, there you can add your music, videos & images. Of course if you want to hear music I would recommend you the ipod because laptops battery dies after 4 hours and ipods battery dies after 12 or 14 hours. If you are the kind of person that cant live without music, then buy the ipod but if you are just like a normal person that enjoys to hear music and do other things then buy the Laptop. Hope I helped. If you buy an ipod.. you can get it platinum or black. both colors are great.

Compaq Presario CQ40 laptop
Can a Compaq Presario CQ40 laptop's graphic card be upgraded?
Don't say it can't right away. I've read somewhere that compaq laptops have dedicated video card which means the opposite of integrated right

No it can't
2 :
integrated is on-board which means it cant be upgraded dedicated is a expansion card (graphics card) which can be upgraded. EDIT* what dose your laptop have? most would have integrated. but the more expensive gaming laptops would have dedicated.
3 :
I looked on the HP parts store web site, and didn't see any mention of a choice of graphics adapters available.

back up the necessary files onto a portable hard drive, (the stuff you dont wana lose) format you hard drive do the long one not quick, this will wipe your hard drive clean, then boot up the computer with your os disk in and re install it, re install any drivers you need (make ure you make a backup of them if the installers are on your computer) then the software and games you want, lots of people will tell you to get this and do that but it takes a long time if you dont know wot you are doing and you risk doing more harm then good, this way it will deffinately work perfectly again and will take no longer then a day, as opposed to tryin loads of sollutions which "mite" fix it, they may not and it takin you 1 week + lol. also system mechanic that will allow you to de clutter and format memory(RAM), it also optimizes your internet connection (it does work i had ping of 500ms now get 100 - 200ms max) and malwarebytes is a good virus/trojan etc deleter incase you suffering from any of those in the future, also go to www.pingtest.net and you can see what your internet is giving you to all over the world, eg im in yorkshire england, my ping to california usa is 198ms, tht is how long it takes to send and receive a packet of information 8bytes i think

Why does my Compaq laptop run slow since I changed the battery?
Why does my Compaq laptop run slow since I changed the battery?
My Evo N410c had a weak battery so I ordered a new third party battery off the net. The new battery looks exactly like the old one including P/N and charges well but now my laptop runs really slowly when on battery power only. Is this a Compaq trick to stop you from using third party options and if so is there a solution?

You do really need to be using the same battery. Compaq designed the lappy and the battery for it. When they build the battery they have their laptop there to test against. I view it to like buying Duracell or a cheap version. Both do the job but Duracell are better for high powered stuff
2 :
I would strongly suggest you to use branded batteries, mainly of the same brand as the laptop. Using a different battery can damage your notebook, as now it is probably being run at a lower power than it should be. Send back the battery you have bought and ask your money back.
3 :
Compaq sold the company & times up on there old products good luck findind up-dates lol
4 :
nothing to do with the battery. please reinstall your Os. and try defragmenting your hard drive.

When the card reader is plugged in to your computer does it show up in "My Computer"? If not, have you changed anything about the way your other USB devices are plugged in? I have noticed that my card reader does not work when my scanner is plugged in to the same USB hub. Unplug the scanner and the card reader works fine. Don't know why ... but it happens. Could this be what's happening to your system? Hope this helps.
