hope this helps

It depends, motherboards usually dont have fuses. They have capacitors which can pop. Getting that fixed is dependent on how much someone will charge. I generally dont like replacing motherboards because of version issues, but replacing that part on the motherboard may not work properly. I would have a pro check it out.

kindly follow the link below you can get the Hp compaq D530 manual it will helps you

If you haven't changed the motherboard from the time you bought it, then there must four onboard sata connectors on the motherboard, refer below picture;

If you haven't installed four sata drives, then there must be at least 3, you can connect the new hard drive on any port, no matter Master or Slave, Primary or Secondary, it'll automatically set it for you. You also no need to worry about the cable, both the ends are same, it works on any direction;


Same thing with the power cable, you can join it on any power cable..

I hope this helps, if you have problem with this or if in case your motherboard is different, please let me know;
Good luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

These computer are know to have bad capacitors. Check and ensure that you dont have swollen capacitor on the motherboard. The HP Compaq desktops are notorious for this. I am almost certain you have bad capacitors.

Enjoy the power of a PC.

please re-insert the cable of the usb to the motherboard. i believe that there are 4 pins on usb1. now if this usb1 doesn't work, try the usb2. be careful when inserting the cable.

as long as it is a socket 478 processor which narrows it down to P4 or celeron ( P4 being better and faster ) it should be fine.
Obviously it will state what processors it can handle in the computer manual so if you find the manual it should state in there.
I dont think it will handle more then a 3ghz P4

You will need a new case and a new power supply. I would replace the memory as well.

Compaq had a tendency to make cases to only fit their boards back then. Youre better off building a new unit and starting over again.
