Why, well all PC s fail. every one , owned long enough.
Just like cars, same reason (entropy)
USA model. laptop, relic
first Presario was year 2000.
last update 2004 drivers
runs XP, are you running the worse virus magnet on earth.
what will be wrong, lots. (non monitor told)

  1. CMOS coin cell dead long ago, must replaced $1 part.
  2. HDD bad.
  3. XP is infected. (and will repeat endlessly)
  4. Huge battery too, is bad, leave it out run on AC power pack.

there is no support for this PC, at HP.com, .

SOURCE: have compaq presario 2500 - computer hangs up, freezes and shuts

My first thought would be to immediately check the processor fan for dust build up on the heats ink since a pretty common issue with allot of laptops is that a small layer of dust builds up on the heatsink sort of like a thin blanket that prevents the air from cooling the heatsink like it is supposed to and that of course causes the cpu to overheat and one of the first signs of overheating is the whole thing freezing up.. And at first it may just happen when doing something extensive that requires allot of cpu power but after a while as the dust layer gets a little thicker it will happen more frequently and could result in a dead cpu after a while. (I have seen this situation countless times)

only problem is that if there is not an access door (removable piece of plastic) on the bottom that allows direct access to cpu fan and heatsink then you will probably have to take apart the laptop somewhat to be able to see if that is the problem (if you do not feel comfortable taking apart the laptop then I would suggest it in to a shop and having them do it since it shouldn’t cost a fortune since its not like they are replacing the motherboard or anything ) since there is really no way to shine a flash light into the vents and see the dust because the layer of dust builds up on the other side of the fan and usually at the other end of the heat pipe on the fins of the heatsink and is usually impossible to see through the vent. (See picture of this for your model computer that i uploaded to my website here: http://systemonenetworking.com/compaqhs.jpg )

NOTE: if you’re going to be attempting to do the repair yourself try to make note or which screws you remove from where since some of them are different lengths for a reason And be extra careful of ribbon wire connections when separating panels and so on

SOURCE: my compaq presario 5000 freezes up

hello,

Maybe it has come to got error in the system files or you were infected with a potent virus, try to boot your system in safe mode by pressing "F8" at first boot. select with network connection. scan your system online like panda online scan( go to panda website).

on safe mode You can also restore your system at the previous date where in the system is functional.

else if this not work then you have to clean install the system by reformatting and reinstallation of the OS. ( you can search the document in installing windows in google.) but first back up your important files before proceeding.

make a note if what ever!

SOURCE: I ' ve got compaq presario C501NR Notebook PC

you may have damaged the computer if it fell as you say. As for installing windows Xp that should not be a problem did you download driver first and burn a CD. If not get on another computer and donwload driver for your laptop burn them on a CD then install your drivers for XP that way you have the right drivers and it should work if not damaged inthe fall.
Good Luck.

SOURCE: MY LAPTOP(hp compaq presario v2000)BEEPS

hi roman razumo,

these are common infos you can see on beep codes.

if you have AMI, your computer has memory problems. First check video. If video is working, you'll see an error message. If not, you have a parity error in your first 64K of memory. First check your SIMM's. Reseat them and reboot. If this doesn't do it, the memory chips may be bad. You can try switching the first and second banks memory chips. First banks are the memory banks that your CPU finds its first 64K of base memory in. You'll need to consult your manual to see which bank is first. If all your memory tests good, you probably need to buy another motherboard. (more info on this click here)

Hello Please can someone help? I've a Compaq Presario m2010us. The power meter states that I've "0% remaining" on my battery although the battery is a good one and I've just recharged it. I'm using the...

Is your battery original?

If it's not, then thing is that every battery have chip inside. This chip communicates with your laptop by providing some OEM info. If battery is made by HP, then it will communicate fine.
If battery is THIRD PARTY/OFF BRAND, missing info from the NON-HP chip will result for those

Laptop will not start

Did you have the power adapter plugged into the laptop? Your laptop battery might be dead. Needs to charge. If it's not charging, then there is a problem with either the battery or the power adapter.
