RE: compaq presario 5000

I would try opening up your computer and verifying if the drive is powered. If there is no white connector attached to the back of your CD-Writer drive, or it is loose, that would be the problem.

compaq presario 5000

The PC just keeps shutting itself down at random intervals. I left it alone for about 3 months and then it seemed to work ok for a week. For no apparent reason it then started doing the same thing. Once it shuts down it will not start up again either. Any ideas before i throw it out the window??

RE: compaq presario 5000

I recently managed to damage my machine by accidentally flicking the line Voltage switch while it was on. This resulted in a loud bang and a puff of smoke. I'm now trying to establsh how much harm i have in fact caused the machine as it seems complety dead. Has anyone else made this unfortunate mistake and how much is it going to cost to repair?
René Kabis on September 14, 2004
RE: compaq presario 5000

Re: Puff of smoke from Marc Kefford

Marc, there are some things you shouldn't do, like stick your hands into wall sockets and play in heavy traffic. What you did was one of those things.

That puff of smoke was probably every vital component being damaged. If you are lucky, your hard drive might still function. I would bring your computer to a competent tech, and see just what you can salvage (as still working), and then build a whole new computer around the salvaged components.

At the very least, the power supply (the big box near the upper rear inside the case) is a goner. By your description, I would also assume the worst; that the motherboard, RAM, processor and every AGP/PCI card have also been toasted.

There is also a strong possibility that any hardware that still appears to work may have hidden or non-obvious damage. While it may still appear operational, there is a high likelyhood that any parts that you salvage may never work quite right again, and will give you more headaches than are worth it. My suggestion: see if your hard drive and cd-roms still work, and dump everything else.

You are not looking at a repair. You are looking at a complete replacement.

Cheers.

RE: compaq presario 5000

Hi,
I trying to find out if I can change the processor of a 5000 presario. Motherboard seems to be compaq:s 0708h, via kt133 chipset. The processor at the moment is a 800MHz AMD duron, and I've an extra 1200Mhz Athlon in the closet.
Does anyone have a clue if it would work or not?. The computer isn't mine so I don't want to swap without any knowledge...
Thanks,
Make

RE: compaq presario 5000

I have a Compaq Presario 5000. It has been to the shop 3 times.Now my sound left. The Tech said I didn't need a sound card. What could be the problem? For example, when I go to my E-mail, it usually says "Welcome to Compuserve, You have mail".It no longer says that message.The rest of my system works fine.Why would the sound leave when all the volumes are set on the right setting?
