The 3 years warranty has 2 types. HP engineer onsite service & bring back to HP service centre. Normally it's at RM199. Onsite service is rather rare because only limited to corporate buyer.

There's a HP/Compaq seller at LYN if you buy laptop with him he can include HP engineer onsite service for RM170. His LYN nick is underGr0und_8.

Delivery is usually FOC.

i have 250gb hd (inc. 10gb recovery partition, and pre installed vista partition)
can i reformat the vista partition, and recover it into smaller partition (80gb)?

might use recovery disc... i still prefer OEM disc...sign...

Share the same feeling as you (and I'm sure many too). Prefer OEM disc over recovery disc. That's also one reason why I prefer laptops with just Freedos, and get OEM Windows license. A little more work from right out-of-the-box experience, but can customize the system (partitions) setup better.

It's true.Some of my friend who using compaq and toshiba laptop only got recovery cd.They give too many of useless programs.

Hi all,i would like to know whether CQ45 129TX can support games like need for speed or not ??

sure can, i am CQ45-129TX owner. No problem.

Does the CQ45 or other Compaq notebook 5 in 1 card reader support SDHC?

Compaq Presario CQ45-127TX with nVidia 9200M GS support Hybrid SLI technology? How to enable it?

for multi-tasking(at least 5-6 running programme) + abit of gaming.eg DMC4 at low display setting.
is this lappy a reasonable lappy for it?or is there any other spec of laptop is more worth?

is the driver on first page also applicable to CQ20 125TU?

why its alot lesser when comes to Windows XP driver if according to compaq website?

Added on October 12, 2008, 11:00 pmCQ series are designed for Vista (although can be run on XP). You can try install the vista drivers if you couldnt find the XP one, somehow sometimes it works.

Having problem with setting up a wireless connection to CQ40-115AU.

Went through this -


Verify that the AC adapter power settings are correct
Internal wireless networking adapters or PCMCIA cards may have problems connecting to a wireless network if the Power Output settings are not set to 100%. Follow the steps below to verify the correct settings:

1.Click Start and then right-click the Computer icon.

2. Select Properties from the menu list. The System window appears.

3.Select the Device Manager from the left panel of the System window. Accept any prompts that may appear.

4. Click the plus sign (+) next to Network Adapters .

5.Right-click on the WLAN adapter in the list and select Properties .

6.On the Advanced tab select Power Output from the Properties list. The value should be 100%.

If the value is set any number lower than 100% change the value to 100% and then click OK .

7.Close the Device Manager, restart the notebook PC and attempt to reconnect to the wireless network.

Until number 5, there isnt any WLAN adapter detected. Any idea how to solve this ? Basically the lappy isnt with me, its kinda 300km away from me, and I have to guide my sister who is kinda newbie in this computer section. I also headache already now.

Could be using the WRONG wireless drivers. Try Broadcom wireless driver first, if not working, then uninstall.

Try with Intel Wireless Driver.

Either one should be working fine with your lappy. (Coz i dont know which wireless chipset your lappy having)

Added on October 14, 2008, 1:22 pmRemove the partition first.

Then maybe you can consider using Partition Magic program to create new partition again.

Added on October 14, 2008, 1:24 pmGive HP technical support a call to ask what's the wireless driver name. They will help
