Bro, i'm having problem in installing Windows XP into my cq45-127tx
It always come out with bluescreen while reaching the step go into setup windows
Heard that it is due to sata raid hardisk
How can i solve it?

hi all,

I'm newbie here...i'm also use cq45-127tx laptop...glad to be here...

Hi,

I just bought a unit of Compaq Presario CQ20, after few days of using, suddenly last night i tried to switch on but it can't. I tried with battery, whenever i pressed on button, the orange light (with lightning sign) at the power adapter keep blinking, but failed to switch on. I tried to plug in power cable also the same. Anyone knows what is the problem?

when you plug it in, does the amber charge light come on? normally if the batt level is below 20% the device will not start hence blinking light..if the charge light does not light upon charging..then its your adapter..may i know what model cq20 did u get? mine is 125tu..

Thanks for the reply. Mine is CQ20-213TU. I wanted to buy the CQ20-125TU, but the shops told me no more stock, so i have to get the 213TU since i like the size and features.

Initially, i thought it's battery flat, so i plugged in the AC power adapter (with battery still attached), switched on power supply, then i pressed the ON button again, but the amber light keeps blinking also. Then, when i took off the battery and plug in AC power adapter, try again, this time amber light did not appear. So, what could be the problem? It's my AC power adapter is it?

sounds like your AC, only way to find out is to take it to the service centre or the shop u purchased the device..can try another AC to confirm..

Problem spotted:
CQ45's dvd drive automatically ejects itself, no media inside
shouldnt be remote control spyware like Beast etc, it happens during offline too

anyone?

i think u just fried your mobo.

thanks for the advice. May i know what is mobo?

motherboard..

Oh, i see. Wow...hopefully not. Will send to HP. Thanks.

if mobo fried...will hp repair it for free?

as long as it is within warranty period you dont have to worry

i think they'll replace the mobo for u......

hp replace mine without charges under warranty period.

did u take the extended warranty?

nope. hehe

How do you get the eSata to work? My friend bought the CQ45-128-TX and the eSata doesn't seem to be working.
