Lines are the BGA RAM Or VRAM Needing rework.. This will also cause boot issues on these models. Do you ever see the Compaq Logo? Weve repaired a ton of these and class settlement happened for the R3000's regarding the jacks but we could repair the other issue as well. (As well as install a new jack while its here).. HP's reimbursing for these outside repairs.
Good luck!

SOURCE: Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart error

Is it a black screen right when you boot your computer? If so this could be a fatal disk error and the harddrive has crashed.

There is no easy fix other than to replace the harddrive.

SOURCE: My laptop is Compaq Evo N600C And When I Start

Hi there,

Which is the operating system?
After installing a new hard drive into the laptop and inserting the Windows OS CD to install windows we were presented with the following problems

  1. We could not format the drive using the windows CD
  2. After connecting the drive to an external enclosure and formatting it with NTFS file system we were then able to get through the first stages of installing Windows OS, however after the first reboot we were presented with the error below:
A read disk error occurred.Press CTRL+ALT+DEL To Restart
After quite a bit of experimenting with drive jumpers, unplugging CMOS batteries, resetting the BIOS and attempts to build the drive on other machines we surmised the drive was not the problem - it was something Compaq related.

We knew the drive was OK because:
  • The BIOS HDD Self Test mechanism could see it
  • The Windows Install process could see it
  • We could mount it using the repair utility on the Windows XP CD
  • We could see it when connected to an external drive enclosure
  • We could even build it on another laptop and use Windows afterwards
The resolution therefore had to be a compatibility issue. This compatibility issue we never got the bottom of, however the solution we were able to use was:
  1. Put the drive in an external enclosure and format it using Windows on another machine (not vital step)
  2. Mount the disk back into the laptop and delete the Boot Sector from the drive. This can be done using several tools - we used a utility on the PC Tools Pro CD but have read that Hitachi's DFT utility is also good at this process http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm - scroll down to the drive fitness test
  3. Insert the Windows XP CD, reboot the laptop and install Windows as usual.
It would appear that this specific range of Compaq Evo N600 series require the drive to have a specific format of boot sector that they prefer to write themselves.
We did find a very good discussion thread on HP's business support forums at http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=1049551&admit=-682735245+1184880661051+28353475 - this is a long thread and has some false assertions in the upper posts, however does resolve the issue in the end.

How do i use the boxed options on certain keys?
Prt SC (Print Screen) does NOT send the screen to the printer!!
If your windows desktop is showing, Print Screen will capture the ENTIRE screen to the clipboard - Open Paint and Ctrl-V to paste the captured image into paint (or other graphics program).
If you want to capture only the active screen, use Alt-Prt Sc and do the same with it.

Screen print click
try just pressing print screen if that does not work it may just require holding the Fn key and then tapping the print screen key. if non of these options work there is always other programs that you can download a program like Fraps for example that you can bind a new print screen key like F8

I cannot get the print screen function to work. I have no FN button or FN lock button to which everyone is referring. I have 3 different keyboards and none have these buttons. I have a Microsoft...
I don't think that the print screen key actually sends the current screen to the printer to print out. It used to do this way back when. What it does do though is capture the screen, which you can then paste into something like MS Paint or Photoshop or even MS Word. If you press just the "Print Screen" key on it's own, no function keys or shift or anything else, it will capture the entire screen. If you hold down the "Alt" key then press the "Print Screen" key, it will capture whatever window you have in focus at that point. So to capture just an error box message for example, you click in it with the mouse to make sure it's the active window (not grayed out title bar) then hold "Alt" press "Print Screen" then release the "Alt" key. You can then paste that into an image or word document by right clicking the mouse and selecting paste, or by holding down the "Ctrl" key and pressing V.

I hope this is what you were wanting to figure out when you were talking about the print screen key, and hopefully this will have helped you and cleared up a few things. :-)

M and O key generate wrong character keyboard or keyboard encoder? Characters generated 0 and 6
This is usually caused by the FN LOCK key being stuck. You probably also have the U, I, J and K keys behaving funny and believing they're a numeric keypad.

Try clicking two or three times both shift, the FN key, NumLock key and, just in case, the Ctrl key. Also try pressing Alt-O and Alt-M or Fn-O or Fn-Alt-O and see if that gets you back the "O" key.

If only the M and O keys behave this way, though, it looks more like a keyboard driver problem; reinstalling the driver (or selecting a different keyboard, such as French one, and then back the normal keyboard again) might fix it.

Cannot save Window screen image with Alt-PrtScr
if there is an 'fn' key on your keyboard then your combo would be
fn+prtsc+alt - to capture top windows and fn+prtsc to capture entire screen
If however your prt sc key is combined with another key and written on top then you need to use
shift+prt sc + alt to capture top windows and shift+prtsc to capture entire screen

Problems with the keyboard
Sticky keys can sometimes be fixed by hitting right shift key 10 times quickly (I'm not lying!!), and or the culprit key (x) the same way. Try that and if it doesn't work, reboot and type. If it continues, please try another keyboard.
