A common problem with Compaq Presario V3000 AMD

Today i received aphone call from an old friend asking about his friends laptop problem. The problem is, it is difficult to turn on the laptop, and it take many time to press the power button until the post screen display,.

Simply i said to him "it is compaq V3000 is it?" and "it is AMD". He shocked and asked how did i know, it is simple because this problem is a common problem for V3000 model. This model can be consider an old model even it is victorious during windows vista released.

So what should i do right now?
I said to him that maybe there are genius out there can fix it, but i just simply reformat and make sure the laptop temperature always below 65C . (you can use a software such as speed fan to check the temp).

Is there other thing that i can do?
Well you can try clean the RAm, remove it and rub with eraser. If this problem cause by RAM normally by clean it your problems solved.

Why is this happen?
it is AMD, and it use Nvidia graphic, both will produce a large amount of heat, and overtime the hjeat defect your hardware, every hardware have its own lifetime. My personal view is this model can survive till 5 years without any problems, after that, one by one you will see it start to malfunction.

Shoul i replace the Motherboard, Graphic etc?
Depend on your place how much to replace them, i strongly recommend to get a new one if it no longer work (only blank when you turn it on). Here at my place, to replace it like you pay half for a new one.

I love this model, and for me it is not outdated!
Im not telling that you have an old model, even i myself never have a laptop and using an old desktop. But now you are in the middle of a problem where it cause you to spent a lot, so my suggestion when it is no cure for it, better spend you money for a quality -faster -and better specs.
well, i know how much you love your V3000 as much i love my old desktop.

Maybe there are another good advice regarding your problem, Im just sharing my opinion. When you think there is better solution, share it, that the power of the internet, we not bound to the myth by the manufacture or website who loves our money.

A busy week with BIOS on CQ40 problem

Hi all,
you may notice that i didnt reply some of your comments and Im really sorry about that, i hope you can wait till i have the time to reply.

CQ40 and BIOS
what i have in my hand now is CQ40-125AX which black out screen and blinking CPS LOCK AND NUMLOCK. Sure ill try other thing such as clean all the hardware and try to boot, but it just the same. So tomoorow i flash BIOS for this model, simply download the BIOS file and rename the bios file to BIN and ROM. for this model you just simply take out the battery and power chord, press winodwsa button with B (WINDOWS + B) and insert the power chord, press start and when LED light up release both start and key combination, wait for few beeps its done.
The funny thing is the time taken to flash is depend on the size of the pendrive, sadly tonight my friend and both dont have that (i lost it for about 10 times now and he have external HDD), so it is so absurd to use 500GB storage to flash BIOS, because there are many BIOS set to test with, so just imagine if 1 BIOS file take 1 hour... i think it is better to play angry birds.

MY TIME..
Whenever there is a problem about computer, i spend time to understand it, research about it and make conclusion. So sometime for one problem, it can take 2 -3 days to figure it out. I can easily solve some problem which i already knew the solution, for new thing and new problem, i need time for that, whenever someone asking for help, ill try my best to assist as much as i can, it is like they asked me for food, if i cant give them food, at least i can give them drinks.

PS: 1000 problems about computers can only give you headache, but a human with few problems can lead to suicide.
