Compaq Presario V4000 Notebook - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This will be one of three things; 1- a driver glitch with the touch pad. Uninstall the drivers for the touch pad from the device manager, then reboot. The machine will find the touch pad and reinstall the drivers automatically. You might also look at Compaq's support site for any updated drivers or patches for the touch pad. 2- You may have a loose connection. Remove the keyboard, check and clean the touch pad connection/connector. 3- A faulty touch pad. If the other two don't work, then disconnect the touch pad and try using the machine with an external mouse. If this works, then the touch pad has malfunctioned and needs replacing. Ty these and let me know.

The "Win32 config" system folder and the files within it are crucial to the Windows Operating System's stability. If any of these files become damaged or corrupted, you likely receive error messages. Fortunately, Microsoft puts the files to repair these problems on the installation CD that comes with your operating system. The original install disk offers a quick way to repair the system. Damaged files are replaced in only a few minutes. Insert your Windows CD into the computer drive. Restart your computer. On startup, look for the message, "Press any key to boot from CD" and press "Enter" on your keyboard. You should see the blue "Welcome to Setup" screen. Click "Enter" on the "Welcome to Setup" screen. Read the "Microsoft Software License Terms," then press "F8." Use your arrow keys, go down and select the Windows installation you want to repair. Press "R" for "Repair." Windows will now start to restore the Win32 System to your computer.

Overheating When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail. A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust. Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan. If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.

It is something I learned over the years believe me know one likes not being able to log on to their own computer. This is why I stress to my clients and often do it for them after service a password reset disc. I never set the BIOS password on any computer just the Windows portion, as well as use the last four digits of my social. Have been doing this not for over 10 years never been hacked. Some may even say, "Good for You!

I have to start making notepad notes of these answers for people who ask questions regarding their lost password issue. I know your depressed enough about and do not need some geek lecturing you about passwords. So I will begin to suggest to you the bottom line here. "Your in a pickle"

1. Here is what I would do in my own case if it happened to me "Knock on the Keyboard" Re-install my operating system period. Be done with it. That is just me. I like to do that anyway, because it makes my computer all new again. Of course I keep my files off of my computer and C:\ so in case of a crash, I have those wonderful pictures and documents software programs, etc. So that when I re-install my Windows back problem is solved and it takes me a few minutes to re-install my stuff I want to keep back on the machine.

2. Or I can take it in and have a professional shop bypass it for me they have the same software you can get online for free. The question is there are so many of them out there these days which one. I know you want me to tell you what the goods are. Go to Google.com in the search box, type without the quotes, "absolutely freeware password recovery software" You will find a bunch of them there just pick one try it, if it does not work try another one. Maybe someone who answers questions as well can send you a link. The problem is when folks ask a question, there is no information about their computer available so that I can go and see the third option.

3. Manufactures have bypass codes you can often times use to bypass your forgotten password. Oh I forgot always use a password hint something you will remember your password "A Hint" Mine is the last four digits of my SS number. How can I forget that right. It would take your forever to guess it. Like the lottery.

4. Call the manufacturer, they may tell you the bypass code to enter. No harm no foul. After all they are there to assist you with your computer needs, in most cases I do not have to much faith in that. I have learned over the years.

5. Take out the CMOS battery for about 2 hours. On some machines their is even a CMOS jumper to bypass the password all together. You may be one of those lucky folks that has a jumper, I do not know since there is no information on the model or name of your computer in the question.

There are 5 for you to ponder, please after all that headache do yourself and those reading this make a password reset disc as well as open the DVD or CD tray and take a piece of scotch tape with a little white strip of paper write the password down and stick it to the bottom of the tray really good. Or take one of those marks black non removable ink and place it right under the disc tray slide out when you open the disc tray you can look underneath and find your password every time. Just a great suggestion............John

Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. Reboot Disk or Recovery Disk is provided by Compaq when you purchase the computer however if don't have the copy of the disk you can still create a recovery disk by following the instruction on the link below provided that you can still boot from your computer. If not then you still have an option to use the HP Recovery Manager.
To determine if the HP Recovery Manager is operational, press the power switch to turn on the computer, and then repeatedly press F11 during the startup. If the Recovery Manager is operational, the computer will display a prompt to either (1) recover the operating system from files stored on the recovery partition, or (2) create a set of recovery discs which does not require the purchase of a replacement recovery disc.
You can also check the link below on How to Create a Recovery Disk or Ordering a Recovery Disk.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. It seems that there is a loose part on the connector of the motherboard to the lcd of your laptop or the connector is bad and it is not normal and not recommended to put a pressure on it because it might damage other IC or parts on the laptop. If you can check the warranty of the computer so that you can send it or bring it to a service center and fix it free of charge. If not then you can bring it to a local tech to heck what seems to be the problem and the part that is need to be replaced.

If you have questions please let me know. Thanks for using Fixya

pounch your notebook v4000 bto

This could be a sign that your laptop is overheating. If you touch the laptop while it is running & you find it too hot, make sure that the fan is running properly & that the air ways are not blocked.
You can blow compressed air into the cooling vents of the fan. If you notice clouds of dust coming out, then it might be a good idea to disassemble the laptop, clean the fan & air ways, & reassemble it back. If the fan has failed & is no longer running, it might need to be replaced.

Hp's website should have the drivers you need. Just go to the support and download's page and type in the laptops model and it should then ask you for the type of OS you are using. And bingo a list of all the drivers.

Best of luck...
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season..

use the computer cd and install the driver or search in the web site of compaq
