Can I switch my compaq laptop power switch with one from an older laptop

The power switch on my 1 year old Compaq laptop got the ribbon wire pulled out and I have an older Compaq laptop (about 3 years) that I want to switch out. Can I do this?

    The wire config was the same but the actual power button was not the same form as the other computer. One is round one is oval.

Only if the wire configuration matches the new one, if they have not changed the basic design you should be good to go.

SOURCE: How do I get past this Drivelock HDDBay password

Basically, for most of the notebooks, there is a Password provided to secure the data in the Hard Drive and restrict it from un-authorize access.
However, if the Drive Lock Password is set and forgot, it is not possible to unlock the Drive without the password.
However, you can try contacting any of your Friends who is familier with Hard Drives and is a technician who should be having some advanced methods to remove the Password or the Circuit Board of the Hard Drive.

Wireless connection? If so, make sure the wireless device is enabled on the newer one. If it's a red light, the wireless device may be faulty. If so, just get an external USB wireless device and use that. Check to see that the same lights are on with both PCs.

The problem is the graphic card. There are some guys who manage to resolder the ATI Chip on the card but the best thing is to buy a working one on ebay and replace the graphic card under the keyboard. Possible board part numbers 336968-001 or 336969-001 or 336970-001

On the cq60, this means complete disassembly of all parts and components...in order to get to the fan properly, the motherboard will need to be removed..

Remove All screws on the underside of Laptop, Remove Covers..(hard drive,RAM,Wifi).. Pull Out CDrom....Remove the 3 screws from cdrom area.....Flip Over.. Open Screen, Pull Media Strip (above Keyboard) Away from Laptop... Be carefull Here, There are Fragile ribbon cables attached to this on the left underside ..
Now Unscrew Keyboard Screws And Pull Keyboard away, THere's a ribbon cable here too attached to the motherboard,, Unlock the ribbon cable at the motherboard port(tab on each side pulls forward).. Remove Palmrest Screws.. Pull the Wifi Cables through the Motherboard upperside, Detach any plug/wires... Unscrew Screen Hinge Posts and pull screen away... Remove the 1 screw holding the rear strip of plastic---unsnap the plastic strip at back end of palmrest area... Pull palmrest away... Unscrew The Media Card Bay and the CDrom Port Board(left side)....
Remove the 2 motherboard screws on the bottom left side front...
Unplug the long cable port on the front underside of motherboard right in the middle....
Lift up the motherboard slightly.. pulling it up from the left rear side..... You will see the DC Jack Power Cable Right There Under The Motherboard...

No Power!!

Double check the switch in the back of the pc on the power supply. If their is a switch, you can try it in both positions. It is possible their is no switch, older compaq's are iffy. The switch will be black. Also check the 110/230 switch. I don't know what country you live in, however you may need to make sure that switch is in the appropriate spot. 110 for USA and 220/230 for UK

Also, try unplugging your pc. Let it set for about 1 minute. Plug it back in and try again.

Compaq SR2011WM

Most common reason for this would be defective power supply, if it is less than 1 year old, may still be under warranty. If older then you can usually find replacement power supply $40+ at local computer store. Not to difficult to replace, average tech could swap it in less than 15 minutes. Can test it with one of these: http://www.antec.com/Detail.bok?no=429
