You need to print this out-on someone else's computer. Hope it works for you! Remove the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord from your Compaq
Presario F700 laptop, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to
discharge any residual current inside the Compaq Presario F700 . This
clears your RAM and is like a hardware reset. Replace the battery and
charger/ac adapter/power cord and turn your Compaq Presario F700 laptop
on.
Boot in "safe mode". As it starts up press F8, the computer ask you if
you'd like to start in safe mode. Highlight "safe mode" and press enter.
See if your laptop is booting up ok .
If your Compaq Presario F700 boots ok, do the following,
Try System Restore first,
Start Menu->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System
Restore. Choose the most recent date before you the encountered problem.
If it doesn't work, try the next date.
If System Restore does not fix it, as a last resort, you might need to
fdisk, reformat your laptop hard disk clean and reinstall OS, that
usually fixes all bugs. Before going that route, try following,
Uninstall unnecessary programs and applications.
Scan with a antivirus program
Scan with a spyware/malware program
DEFRAG C:
CHKDSK C:
Clean up and repair registry problems with registry repair software of your choice
If the problem persists, did you check if it could be your Compaq
Presario F700 laptop power cord or power source problem? Defective or
insufficient power supply might cause error messages that are
misleading. Take the battery out and power on your laptop with the
charger only. Make sure your Compaq Presario F700 power jack and charger
plug tip are securely connected. Did you notice the power jack loose?
You can find laptop power jack on ebay. Fixing and soldering the power
jack requires professional skill though. The charger green/blue LED
should be on. If not, replace the defective charger. Compaq Presario
F700 laptop battery charger, especially its power cord/cable, lifespan
is limited and does not last forever, consider buying a lifetime
warranty charger online from company like www.topmic.com
Try the laptop on an external monitor, if it works ok on that, the fault lies with the laptop screen If it does not work on that, the fault is with the graphics chip on the laptop
If it was working ok then suddenly died, check to see if you can boot to safe mode (F8)
1. Turn off computer and unplug power cord.
2. Disconnect all external devices(open up the computer tower and then )
3. remove battery
4. press power button and hold for 10-15 seconds
5. plug power cord back into computer and press power button.
6. Check LED’s and listen for power supply fan.
7. If LED’s are on or power supply fan starts spinning, watch for boot screen
8. If coputer begins to turn on, turn it off.
9. Reconnect battery and external devices.
10. Press power button and make sure computer starts.
