Well,you already have a DVD burner in your machine, and A DVD ROM refers to memory.. you just need to download the upgrades available at Compaq's website. find out which Cd/DVD burner you have by downloading a marvelous freeware program called Belafrc Advisor, which will list all hardware and sofware on your
computer, compete with versions and access codes. then go to
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=320163&lang=en
which lists all upgrades available for your model. DVD burners stopworking correctly when your non-microsoft burner program becomes corrupt, so be sure to upgrade that. If you have any problems, ask support.

    That's Belarc Advisor--google it.

    Sorry, I was comletely wrong. A DVD-ROM is a read only DVD, and cant burn anything. You need to find out DVD burner will fit in the space once you remove it. I think you will need to get a manual on your to explain how to remove it. See if this website has the manual. otherwise, go to Compaq to find it. You can find out what DVD burner will fit by finding out at Compaq whether they sell the 2500 dg229a with a DVD burner. Then get the info on that burner, and you can shop online to see if there is a good deal on it, rather than buying it from Compaq. Good luck

I have a HP CompaQ CQ60 laptop... My technician told me that the DVD rom is broken.. It does read CD's and DVD's but it stops.... now I have a CDD5263 DVD rom from a Presario 2500 laptop. Is that...

Hello Dear,

Normally (70%) if manufacturer is same then you can replace the DVD/CD rom and it will work.
From this configiration I am unable to justify whether it will work or not. You can just try to insert that DVD rom in our faulty laptop and if its going in perfectly fine, Just connect the cable with the board (If you are expert in Assembling and Deseembling). It should work.
If you are not expert then Just visit the nearest shop and ask for the connection.

It should work.

With regards

hi im josh in cebu phils.may i help you? Friend if that happens that it will not turn on after doing such things I suggest to remove first your DVD burner and installed back your Memory.be sure it is seated firmly in its position try to see the marking on your memory and on your mainboard.then try to reboot your pc. after rebooting if it powers on so thats the time you go back again in putting back your DVD burner. Remember dont install your DVD burner unless your pc turns on to avoid misleading. try to do it bro. good luck hope i helped you.

Compaq presario 2100 laptop, starts to run, then goes to black screen with start in safe mode etc, then a blue box appears, gone before you are able to read anything that it says, then laptop restarts...

Check the mounting screws on the cd burner,yes you have to remove the keyboard and speakers,and check the two visible mounting scews.....I rescently bought a used presario and discovered the yo-yo didn't mount the cd rom properly(no screws)...The screen you saw flashed is the BIOS,also check fitment of all plug in type accessories......

Try installing a DVD rom. The sony unit installed in your laptop is a cd rom/burner. Cd roms will not play DVDs.

Comparq presario 2500

not that tough..take off the side skin(right side as you look at it).

then there will be some tabs inside, that you press(Gently) in..and releases front panel

then with either screws that come out, or a slider, with connection cables off back, it's out

just reverse it to re install

get the new drivers first though.

Not reading DVD

It's common problem with combo drives in notebooks, they don't seem to last long. Try this:- Go to my computer>properties>hardware>device manager and look down the list for your cd/dvd drives and click the '+' sign then highlight your dvd drive and right click to delete. Restart the pc and windows will find the drive again automatically and install the drivers. If the problem persists the laser is faulty in the drive and the drive will need to be replaced.
