Boots up without images on the screen

The graphics card in the PC is very likely faulty. It is possible to remove the graphics card and reconnect the monitor cable to the onboard graphics. Look on youtube for help on removing the graphics card (try a search for iq772). The monitor connector is at the front of the motherboard, near to the graphics card. re-connect it to a similar connector to the left to use the on-board graphics.

The computer turns off after about five seconds without POST

wow complex post...
does it run with no battery (yes/no)
is the coil cell at 3vdc? below 2.9v is bad. as all are this old.
PSU is destop yours is powerpack with 2 pins only.
19v 65wattes is it? is there voltage 19v plugged in and 19v
during the 5 magic seconds?
two yellow and 2 black wires (what?) no photos posted.
if you disconnect those wires and the battery is out
it can not run. ever. so that is confusing, that statement.
keep in mind I cant watch you. or SEE IT,


either the pack is wrong (no photo of the end cable presented or watts and volts stated on the label..
no photo of your internal cable. at all so i can see its CORRECT.

this is what exits the power pack. there are no colored wires
here, unless damaged.
the PC does have a mother board jack or cable adaptor (bettery)
if you look close the 4 wires there come to 2 pins.


pack1-dk0pz4skzhn0ejlmjtxkbv00-3-0.jpg there are no books on this PC now, at HP
and parts for it are hard to find, cept PACK.
very few parts, now.
why do this>
why not just go to goodwill and find a newer PC.
end the horrors of very old COMPAQs.
get one with W7 or newer COA sticker (hp) on the bottom!

Help needed

Here is a fix I got from Sandisk support: Let's try this: take the battery out of the player and wait for a full 5 minutes. While the battery is out, please hold the power-on button for 10 seconds. After that, connect it to your computer (without the battery). Does it work when it's connected to the computer? Regardless of that result, disconnect it from the computer, then put a brand new alkaline battery back in, and see if it will turn on. Now, another thing I found that worked once, was to remove the battery, hold the power button for 5 seconds, then replace battery. The unit powered up after that.
