I would recommend cleaning out the vents and geatsink grills with compressed air. I would then remove the heatsink unnit and replace the thermal grease on the heatsink and processor. Most laptops do not need any additional cooling if thier heatsinks are free of dirt, dust and debris. The compressed air can be bought at office supply chains. Just use short bursts of air and clean all the compartments including the cd tray. Just make sure to power down the laptop first and remove the battery.

Mother boards are type specific...All your stuff like usb ports.ethernet ports etc...would not hook up with any other board.

is this a new laptop? if not it may be that the fan needs a clean and new thermal compound needs to put on the cpu. if it within warranty i would contact compaq. You can do it yourself if you know what your doing but if you don@t then please don't try it as involves know how and if you mess it up you could have a dead laptop @ the end.

For the drivers it will be a lot trickier :normally you should use only the drivers supplied by your manufacturer. Since there aren't ready yet for you model you could try googling for similar laptops and try their  drivers.

RESTART YOUR COMPUTER, ON REBOOT, CLICK F10 WHEN YOUR CHANGE BOOT OPTIONS SCREEN COMES UP. YOU MUST PRESS F10 QUICKLY OR IT WILL LOAD WINDOWS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RESTART AGAIN. ONCE YOU GET INTO THE BIOS SETUP UTILITY GO TO SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, SCROLL DOWN TO BOOT OPTIONS CLICK ENTER. GO DOWN TO INTERNAL NETWORK ADAPTER BOOT AND ENABLE IT. GO TO EXIT AND SAVE.

In case somebody has the same problem. Result of my investigation: * If everything is ok then the Presario CQ61 boots without battery. * HP support recommends to do a hard reset i.e. remove power supply, remove battery, press power button to discharge everything internally, connect power, press power button In my case the problem was solved by changing the AC Adapter (Power supply). Note: The led besides the power connector is not reliable. It is on with the working and faulty adapter. Note: The voltage level at the battery pins is not reliable. I had same values.

old PC,, Cq series. cq62-nnnnn you left off the nnnnnn cq62-100, 200 ,300 what? running mS windows 8 HP does not support W8 on this PC so that means you are on your own steam... (you , it and microsoft 100%) forget ACER this is not and ACER PC< at all, (totally different) you could reload w8 , like you did before, now all that works its login password issue, can i presume the screens look ok W8login screens? local login fails, not bios, and not windows live logins fails that is right there are 3 tiers of logins. admin , create a new account and use that or do that and ask at MS how to copy date from dead account to new account, you never said once you had data. if no data on pc, then reload 8, easy no? the newer the OS the more hard it is to get data from that dead account( new permission rules, and hard to do) ask best i can tell, lacking your full model number teh CQ62-400 (newest) had only Windows 7 so how did w8 get there, from whome, and what media. and what install methods. from MS CD? or MS ISO, or from ebay hackers disks/ what? here are the ways, (not data recovery) http://www.pcdied.com/passwords.html

Oh dear you have broken this and will need to send it off to be fixed.

Won't load in safe mode?? What's your operating system? Has the hard drive been formatted?

1. Turn off your computer. 2. Press the power button to turn your computer on. 3. Hit F11 a few times quickly, while the launch screen is still up. This will launch the Recovery Manager. (If you see the Windows 7 boot logo, you've missed your chance and need to restart your computer and try again from step 2.) 4. On the left side it will say "I need help immediately". Underneath that there will be an option that says "System Recovery". Click on that. 5. There will be an option to either back up your files before restoring, or to recover without backing up your files. In my case, I'm recovering without backing up my files. 6. It will tell you to make sure all devices are disconnected from your computer. Make sure they are, and then click "OK". 7. There will be a "Welcome to the Recovery Manager" screen. Click "Next". 8. It will begin to reformat your partition and to reinstall the Windows 7 setup files. Once it's done doing that, click "Next". You'll be brought to a page saying "Recovery is Complete". After that all you need to do is reboot, and it will bring you through the wizard to set up Windows 7, just like on a new computer! Good luck :)

THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS to be asked on here as there are so many stolen laptops about ,ull need to go to a repair shop with proof of purchase or something that is on your system that only yourself could identify , to regain access to your laptop..
