BATTERY LOCATION I BOUGHT A USED COMPAQ PRESARIO 1200 LAP TOP CP FROM A FRIEND BUT, i CANT FIND WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED. IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

the only thing you need to know is if it is a sata or ide hard drive (if you look at the end of the drive if it has a lot of little holes it's an ide) then shop for whatever size drive you want i.e 250GB 2.5" hard drive. Because it's for a laptop it will have to be a 2.5" hard drive.

Hook a external keyboard to make sure it is working, if yes! the laptop keyboard will need to be replaced.

hi

hello,

Please reinstall the touch pad drivers once and if then also it is not working the needs to be replaced.

Thanks

This problem is either due to your power adapter, wall plug or the back of your lap top where the power adapter goes into. My guess would be the power adapter, they are infamous for going bad. Try wiggling the cord that connects to the power brick (black box) from your lap top.

hi try go to My computer start up then find the add and remove programs...Thanks

power supply bad possable fuse blown

I had a similar issue with the Armada M700 from Compaq. Never did figure it out exactly. But I do know this. When you unplug the power chord and take out the battery and plug the power chord back in while the battery is out usually for some reason it turned on allowing me to replace the battery which would then begin charging. Your problem interests me because I can really relate!
