HP/Compaq :: Win XP On Presario CQ60-216DX

Feb 18, 2009

I got XP working with relative ease on this laptop (even the blue LED for Wi-Fi thanks to this forum) and I thought I was home safe. This morning however I realized that when the laptop comes out of sleep the sound is not working.

XP works great on this laptop. With IE running I only have 376MB memory use, 26 processes and the CPU idles @ 0-1%

HP/Compaq :: Windows XP Driver For Presario CQ60-216DX

Feb 2, 2009

I just bought a Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX laptop, which came with Vista installed and I need to downgrade to Windows XP (for work purposes). I can't seem to find a Windows XP driver for this model and am waiting to downgrade until I know if I need one / if there is one.

my questions are:

1) Is there a Windows XP driver for the Presario CQ60-216DX laptop?

2) If the answer to question 1 is no, is there a comparable driver to use?

HP/Compaq :: ( Presario CQ60) Cleaning

Nov 1, 2009

My little brother owns this notebook and it get rather hot when used.

It has a Intel Celeron 575 running at 2,00 GHz and a Intel GMA 4500mhd on a Intel GL40 mainboard.
It reports that it runs at 60c when idle, but it feels very hot when in use.

Even my own system runs cooler and it includes a ATI Mobility X1600 that can get a little toasty when in use.

HP/Compaq :: Presario CQ60-116eo (Sound After Muting)

Nov 18, 2009

i have a problem with my little brother notebook.

After he muted the sound and then unmuted it it does not play any audio trough the speakers.

Plugging a audio cable in the microfone port fixes the problem, but this is not a permanently fix.

I did a clean install to Windows 7 because he had the free upgrade but the problem still shows up.

I thinking it must be a driver related issue since its working perfect once you reformat.

I used the latest Windows 7 x86 drivers from the HP site.

HP Compaq Presario CQ60 :: Keyboard And Trackpad Not Responding

May 24, 2009

My keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 notebook are not responding and don't have any external devices to see whether this is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Safe Mode as keyboard does not respond, however it allows me to type in my password to access vista! I think I have just locked the computer, but don't know how to unlock it, various forums have specified reinstalling drivers etc. but I am unable to do this with no working keyboard and do not know how whether I have pressed a combination of keys which have caused this. I am not sure whether this is a Vista problem or a Compaq/HP problem.

Basically just moved house and got Eircom broadband installed, my girlfriends laptop connected automatically, whereas my Compaq CQ60 Presario Notebook WindowsVista will not connect.I have checked so many different forums trying to fix this problem, but to no avail im afraid... it looks like there is an excellent internet connection.... but cannot go on the internet because it says "Unidentified Network local access only"

In our previous residence we had UPC broadband, and I had no problems at all connecting.

HP Compaq Presario CQ60 OS/Software :: How To Start System Recovery Discs

Jul 13, 2012

I have been sent 2 system recovery dvd's and one supplemental disc by hp. I put them into my drive and nothing happens. How do I start this procedure? I thought maybe all that I hav to do was wait until it started automatically (didn't happen) or click on the Boot option - nothing happens there either. I Have an HP Compaq Presario CQ60 Laptop with Windows 7 home premium. What to do? I am NOT a very sophisticated computer user. I need to do the recovery as I've had a total crash.

HP/Compaq :: CQ60-417CA

Sep 3, 2009

I just purchased this item a few days ago and realized that it only came with wireless b/g.

I have an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN card that I would like to swap in, but there are only two wires. One black, one white. The Intel care requires a grey one as well.

So my second attempt was a Dell 1505 Draft N card that I had lying around, and it only requires two cables. The black and the white. So I installed it, but upon reboot, it states there is an unsupported wireless card and I need to remove it to continue.

Does this system have a locked BIOS that will not let you alter the system from factory specs?

Or can someone recommend a wireless N card that will work in this system. It is only used for work, but at home I like to work in my office upstairs and my router is downstairs. The signal from the b/g adapter in it current sucks.

HP/Compaq :: Cant Upgrade My CQ60-211DX Bios

Dec 5, 2009

im having a problem with my laptop and HP/Compaq techs cant fix it unless if i send it to them which is going to take along time and i use my laptop heavily

my current bios is F32 system Board ID is 3612 , and there is no way to upgrade the bios to newer versions through windows or through the Win+B on power recovery.

on windows i can only apply F32 using insydeFlash , if i tried a new bios version it gives me "verify error" and trying the latest couple i guess they are F50 and F52 using isydeFlash , when ever it starts , the insyde flash program window disaprears and the system hangs for ever " taking the battery and the Adapter power will shut it off"

using the Win+B recovery on power , i tired all the versions availbe on compaq website , the same issue , it starts beeping slowly then faster and faster then shuts down
i turn on the machine get into bios , its still F32.

HP/Compaq :: Which 802.11N Internal Card Would Work With A CQ60-212US

Jul 6, 2009

I am hoping to upgrade the above notebook to 802.11N but I am having trouble finding information on what internal cards will work for it. It is an AMD Athlon X2 sytem wiyh an Nvidia nforce chipset running Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit. The card it uses currently ( an 802.11B/G) is an Atheros 5007 based card (part #459339-003). HP/Compaq does make a Atheros 5009 based 802.11N card (part# 482260-001) but it is in short supply and those place that do have it are prices as well as no way to verify it would work with this model as HP customer care would not give a part number via e-mail and directed me to their 800 number to place an order(). I also have heard some issues with the 5009 based cards . I have been looking at an Intel 4965AGN and a Broadcom BCM94322MC but no way to verify it would work with my computer. One seller on E-bal says the Intel unit will not work with HP/Compaq computers but in google searches I have found some HP use this Intel card/chipset in their WLAN card

HP/Compaq :: Cq60- Using An External Monitor And The Monitor Refused To Turn On From Standby

Feb 10, 2010

i dissasembled my presario cq60 and when i put it together the monitor won't activate.

i tried using an external monitor and the monitor refused to turn on from standby, a safety feature of the monitor. the small card in the underneath with 2 wires leading 2 the monitor, (i assume that is the laptop version of a graphics card) is fine, inserted properly, and i had a slight issue with the plugs fitting, but that was soon resolved.

My ancient C500 fan is noisy, a constant slight grindy noise. Its been like this for months and I cant take it anymore. Can I clean or replace it w/o too much trouble or is it time for a new laptop? Looks like I'd have to take off the whole bottom to get at it...which Iwill do, if it will shut the damn thing up.

HP/Compaq :: Presario 1500

Apr 18, 2010

i have a compaq presario 1500 with a pentium 4 running XP SP3 on it. I am having trouble with keeping it under a good heat, the fan is constantly running high! i know this needs a good clean but the screws to remove the back casing are so small for me to do this! any suggestions of how i can clean inside? or get to th fan through the top by the keyboard?

secondly it tends to crash every now and then, maybe when it overclocks on the cpu?? i am recently trying out a program called speedswitchXP which seems to be slowing it down to an extent! but not solving the issue.

thirdly and finally, my battery only holds charge for around 10 minutes before needing constant wall plugin! i constantly have it plugged into the wall, could this be a result to any of my problems?

HP/Compaq :: Presario Won't Boot

Dec 3, 2009

got a Presario V2000 that will not boot whatsoever.

Upon pressing the power button, the machine starts up and displays the standard "Windows could not start properly" screen. Every option I choose, from the three Safe mode options, to the Last Known Good Config, to Start Windows Normally will not work.

I choose an option and everything goes smoothly, the Windows XP splash screen pops up & stays there for a few seconds, then goes blanks for a slightly longer length of time before a blue screen pops up. I can't remember the first few numbers, but the rest I'm pretty sure is accurate:

(a series of letters/numbers is here) (Registry File Failure)

The registry cannot load the file
SysCommandSysCom32ConfigSOFTware
or its log or alternate
It is corrupt, (something I cant remember), or not writable

Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete
Contact your system administrator or technical assistance.

.....and it pretty much repeats over and over in a continuous cycle like this until I power it off.

What I'm wondering is where exactly the problem lies? On the Hard Drive--where the drive itself needs to be replaced or the OS just wiped and reinstalled fresh.......or is this indicative of a hardware failure...which would mean this lappy is pretty much dead?
