Compaq Presario CQ57: My laptop has completely shut down and all I get is a blue screen.

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 15:37:37 -0700

Everytime I turn on my laptop, I get a blue screen asking for Administrator Password or Power On Password. I can't do anything and I don't have the password. I can't even get into safe mode anymore. If I put in wrong password 3 times it says System Disabled. I want to take my .45 to it right now. I'm beyond frustrated. PLEASE HELP!

Compaq Laptop: Compaq Presario CQ50 laptop can't connect to internet?

Mon, 11 Apr 2016 20:19:28 -0700

I installed a copy of windows xp recovery used by a Compaq Evo N100v that stopped working around 2007 onto this compaq presario Cq50-107nr. The computer will not connect via wifi because it might be missing a couple drivers for it and wont connect through ethernet. I need to activate windows and used the phone service option and the automated voice said the installation id was invalid. The xp running does not have any service packs. I understand i need drivers to get the wifi to work but do not understand why the ethernet will not connect when i plug it in.

Compaq Laptop: Hard Drive Clicking every 5 to 10 seconds

Thu, 13 Aug 2015 11:19:43 -0700

I've recently bought a Compaq Armada 1120 second hand, and it works well. Although, it's hard drive seems to click every 5 to 10 seconds. I've noticed it will stop doing it for awhile when I do nothing. I can also hear the hard drive doing things right after I click on something. This computer is from the 90s and I'm wondering if it's Hard Drive should be replaced, or if this is normal for laptops from it's time.

I'm new to collecting computers like this lol

Compaq Laptop: Compaq Splash Screen to a Black Screen

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 02:59:38 -0700

I have an old Compaq Armada m700 Laptop. When I turn it on I see the Compaq logo and then the Screen goes black the laptop does boot into Windows and I can hear the Windows welcome sound. Also if I hook up a second monitor it displays windows find on the second Monitor. I want the Laptop's main screen to work. If I try and get into the BIOS via F10 the screen stays black. If I connect the 2nd display it will show the BIOS screen. I originally thought it was a hardware issue but I do see the Compaq Logo Splash screen.
