geefivez: i am having problem putting on my compaq presario. when i press the power switch. it just flash and refused to come on and the battery is fully charged. i even remove the battery and plug direct still the same problem plz help me on how to make it work thanks
What flashes? the lights? do you hear the fan spinning? does the light stay but the monitor is just not on?

honestly i think a person who can see and touch the computer would be the best person to handle this one. i might be wrong

your problem can be a bunch of different things like the power pack of the computer being faulty or your motherboard is fried or RAM memory issues. like i said take it to someone in your area who can troubleshoot and properly diagnose the issue because if it just flashes and nothing, there is nothing else to go on.

Jerrywap: IT IS BETTER YOU UPGRADE IT TO WINDOWS VISTA, WINDOWS7, XP OR ANY OTHER VERSION BEFORE USING... A TIME WILL COME WHEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE. YOU WILL THEN HAVE TO FORMAT IT AND LOSE YOUR FILES..

Hello Jerrywap,
Thanks but I don't know how to upgrade it to XP, 7 or Vista. I just bought it brand new and there is no file in it.
If I can see somebody who knows about it, I wouldn't mind selling it off. Operating a system you don't know much about
gives a lot of headache.
Can it be possible to upgrade it?

.What's laptop make and model number i.e. Hp 530

.When plugging the charger in , do you feel anything loose

.Try moving the charger inside the laptop and see if you feel anything loose (dc jack)

. try it without battery and see what happened

.do you use generator to charge your laptop

.Use another charger to test

. Is the laptop overheating

.fan running very fast

The minimum RAM requirement recommended by microsoft to run windows 7 is 2Gb. It's either you upgrade your ram or downgrade your operating system to xp. That laptop doesn't look like it's meant to run windows 7 anyway.

if you are going to burn a dvd you want to make sure you are burning an ISO. look it up in google. that would allow for play back without just burning the data on to the disc

helo pple, my compaq presario fell down and the laptop screen never broke but the screen backlight hasn't been coming up at all. I opened the screen case, i checked the flex: it was intact, on checking the module i saw a small piece of iron it was a magnet. I never knew where that magnetic iron got removed from. But im dead sure it must be the 1 controlling the backlight. Please *house' kindly help me as i cant use these laptop at all witout d screen light. It is working perfectly fine and booting nicely just the screen light is my problem.
