I realize it's been ~4 years, and the only explanation I have is that I was
feeling nostalgic, remembering better times in alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq,
wandering through the Google Groups archives when the subject of one of your
messages struck me as interesting. On November 2nd, 2004 ...

I'm looking to replace my 5700N motherboard.  Anyone have one please
let me know price etc.  Thanks Dkline

bot etc in very small (i think it could be described as) type size.i

I can't be the only one with this issue and can't find an alternative.
Advice? Different vendor ?
I've got a few of these home-office-sized UPS 350VA, 500VA from APC and
when I lose power at the house, I CANNOT turn off the  #$%'ing beeping

This is kind of a long story...Please someone tell me what to do
About 3 weeks ago my psu went out and I brought my PC to work to hav
our IT guy fix it.  He replaced it with a Rhino ATX 12v 450 wat
power supply (it had whatever the standard 12 v 300 watt for hp is).

I installed eight 512MB RDIMMs (using authorized Compaq part numbers for the
memory) onto a Compaq W8000 workstation.     At bootup the computer BIOS is
reporting only 3440 MB present.
Is this a limitation of a particular BIOS release?   Is it corrected by a

I have an HP Compaq D310 Desktop, and recently purchased a Hitachi
Deskstar T7K250.  When this hard drive is in the computer and I try to
run the Windows XP Professional setup CD, it does not recognise any of
the partitions and is unable to modify the disk in any way.  When I

Hi. I have just aquired a free 7350. It needs some TLC. I would like to know
how to get to the BIOS setup. I have heard references to F10 at logo screen,
but no logo screen appears on this one. The first thing I see at boot is
65XXXX free, then, "Starting Windows98". That's it. ...

By default I have come to own a Presario 5441.  I'm looking to set it up for the kids to use when they visit. It had a bunged up Windows XP Pro installation, so I formated and started over with Windows 2000.   Looking to put it on a wireless home network.

I almost forgot - this computer came with a single 256 mb RAM card in,
DIMM, 133mhz etc.  According to Crucial.com it should only have up to
three 128 mb cards.  It seems fine.  Can I safely add a second one of
these, 256 mb again.

The remaining problem with this DeskPro EN 866 sff is that the floppy
drive won't work.  Initially the seller, a refurbishing company, seem
to have not plugged the power connector in (labelled P2?), which I've
now done.  I don't see how any of the leads can be in wrong - they

I'm hoping this is going to be simple because the machine is otherwise
working fine with the exception of the floppy drive, but my Deskpro
SFF 886 mhz seems to have some kind of problem which I'm hoping is not
related to a dying battery.  The first time I switch it on - to recap

Hello, hope someone here can help, though I've put the post elsewhere
too.  I wanted a computer separate from my Vista laptop for specific
tasks and have bought a refurbished Compaq Deskpro En, 886 mhz, 320 mb
RAM, 20 gig hard drive.

I have a year and a half old Presario 2701US laptop running Windows XP Home.
 Over the past few weeks the system has been just shutting down (needing
a complete reboot) with increasing frequency.  It got to the point where I
could rarely get it to start up completely, and doing ...
