HP Compaq nx9030 Notebook - Page 6 Questions & Answers
Forgot BIOS password.
1.) Unplug AC, take out the main battery.
2.) Take out /disconnect the RTC (real time clock) battery for app. half an hour (the period of 5 min as specified in the MSG normally is not long enough).
3.) Plug in the AC adapter (batteries still removed); computer should boot automatically, if not use the power button.
4.) The machine will boot and show the 162-error-msg "system options not set". Use F1 to save the settings.
5.) Shut down the computer and disconnect AC power again.
6.) Re-connect the RTC-battery.
7.) Install the battery pack(s).
8.) Restart the computer.
Caveat: All settings are set back to factory standard.
You'll have to enter a correct date/time and change the settings to your needs.
Note: pls strictly keep to the sequence.
Re-starting with the main battery and or RTC-battery inserted will spoil the job.
Screen problems
You are experiencing the decay of the LCD panel itself. The screen will need replaced and is in the neighborhood of $300-$400.
USB ports not working
i am hoping that your USb FLASH Drive is a plug and play like a pen drive
so what you can do is
right click on my computer->properties->hardware->device manager
the device manager window will open and then you should go to the bottom of the page here you will find a list of USB controllers
what i would recommend is to uninstall all the usb root hubs
and any other device you see listed there like usb mass storage etc
also uninstall the controllers if you wish
then reboot your computer.
this would solve your problem .
if it does not then there might be a problem with your windows
i myself had the same problem with windows sp2
so i upgraded my system to sp3
and reformatted my comp
but try the previous one first
if that solves the problem then you are all ready to go.
Hp compaq model/ nx9030 mother

Usb ports not working
Could you tell me whether the USB ports are providing power or not....
i.e do you get any indication in your flash drive that it is getting power (a light or something)
If you are getting that then there is a problem with your windows installation.
You might have to perform a clean format
if there si no indiction of Power then there is a hardware problem and you might have to replae the Usb port or see the connections
Please do reply to the post and we will see if something can be done.
PC Desktop stops responding
Try using your System Restore Point. Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, Sytem. On the Left Corner, you can see a System Resore, Click it. Now choose the option Restore my computer on an earlier time then Click Next. You can see a calendar, choose a date where you know when your computer works well. Click Next until it reboots your computer.
HP Compaq nx9030: screen ON only in to lid position
Wow.
One of two things.
Either your inverter gets unpluged (therefore it isn't plugged in correctly in the lappy) unless it's moved to a certain position (so don't shake your lappy or else you might see nothing), those being positions where theres slight pressure on the connector, even though it's loose or unplugged (POSSIBLY faulty, but most likely not, if it turns out it is, other than resoldering it, you'll need to return it for a fixing up.)
Or
The switch that turns your screen off when the lappy closes is faulty (if it's located near the back of your laptop, aka. under the lappy's LCD bezel.
Opening it up and unpluging and pluging in the inverter is probably what the solution is. A tech might do it for free if you're nice (or you could do it yourself, don't loose any screws :) )
Hopefully it is just a loose connection and isn't a big deal at all to fix.
Stay Spicy and Happy Lappying!! :) Don't forget to rate!! :)

Modems & drivers
Why not put the drivers on a disk as a backup. Then you will have them if you ever need them in the future. You can then install the drivers in your notebook.

Compaq nx9030 Laptop
There is a concealed switch situated just to the right of the right
hinge, which is activated by a cam on the screen bezel and acts as a
sensor for lid open or closed, it also turns off the backlight, so if
it sticks in a closed position, the backlight will not turn on, either
free the switch, or disconnect it, it connects to the small power board
(under the cover with the power button and 5 funtion buttons) i hope
this solves your problem. ..... ****
