Solve : Compaq Help!? |
|
Answer» I have a Compaq Presario that's about 3 or 4 years old. One night it got UNPLUGGED while running and shut down. It now won't turn on at all, but when it's plugged in, the power source STILL makes a light buzzing noise, but no lightls will COME on or anything. I heard from someone that this is a safety thing and you need to hold in the power button for a certain increment of TIME to restart the tower. Is this true? Or is there something else that I need to do? I'm a poor college kid and want to avoid spending alot of money to fix it. Could someone please help me out? ...you need to hold in the power button for a certain increment of time to restart the tower. Is this true? ... Try it and let us know. I was told this info by a coworker who's friend had a similar problem. He called Compaq's 800 help center, and they told him to hold the power button for a certain amount of time and release the button. I tried this in 5 second increments up to about 2 minutes and nothing worked. So, my computer still SITS until I figure out how to fix it.One of my computers is a Compaq Presario about the same age as yours (Model 5006US). The functioning of the power button is programmable, but that's not the problem with yours. You may have to perform a "hard BIOS reset". There's a jumper inside to do this.
