hello,i own a 2nd hand compaq presario cq62 notebook pc(too late and tired for specs)this machine served me well for 2yrs straight(windows 7 spk 1 home ed.)
so now in the last 5 months on and off it won't reboot next time of use...caps light flashes slow,lan yellow,plug adapter blue then yellow...only way to boot is let battery drain(plug out)then plug in and hit power button...sometimes comes on or goes back again to caps light flashing slow...tried every fix on windows control pane except system restore as i got nervous when said some programs may need to be re-installed namely microsoft proceesor(i'm not advanced for that)so no sys restore.
then i spoke with some people here where i live(at this point looking on ebay for another machine and start fresh)they both said the battery could be the problem,so i finally run hp battery check and said needs to be replaced...then later that night in green said battery ok?...then in morning battery needs replaced(red)....i ordered the battery anyway as it may help this situation...then was reading online and one person said may be ram problem,pc status said ram ok>2.00 and 1.74 still usable with 2 of 3 slots open.
i'm leaving it on 24/7 because i have no choice,if i shut down then tomorrow morning not coming on,i need internet every day,once in the morning and once at night..sometimes in the afternoon for emails,and other more important things..one last comment,i did change the sleep setting to various postions and it did nothing whether sleep.hibernate and 5min to 5hrs and even never sleep it still does it.i also tried default setting and same thing;
any help would be appreciated/thankyou,jeff.g./
