old compaq? 2700 old old relic. 17 years old today (2001 made) packed full of lint do dought.!!! and overheating. windows what? xp to 10, what? please do not post. F8 tell me, its w7? we hope it came with windows 2000 or XP that is for sure. what is it now? click control panel, then system or tell me oldest date of files in C:/windows folder. XP was born in 2001. XP is virus magnet and all are infected with 700 exploites +++ a counting and not supported by MS.com vasta has no self repair modes and is doomed for that 1 reason. W7 has legs, is it w7? is it running IE11," if yes its W7 self shuts down fans and screen goes black,>? no errors to screen no text errors, no beeping no blinking caps lock led codes. steps that work on all old PCs like this.

1. remove that 17 year old shorted huge batter and leave it out.
2. now the RTC coin cell is bad, not one ever ran 17 year ever.
3. next we clean all that lint out of all vents and RAD and fan or it will overheat for sure and all PCs shut off if overheated.,
4. Next test HDD, if its dead no repairs are possible so we fix that next.
5. then load linux best on this old PC, or w7 might work but costs $120 to try it. no free try like W10, at all,

clean all vents all oF big RAD and fan blades. http://pcdied.com/overheated.html

no such thing, in 2018, HP does not support it now. ended ! LONG LONG AGO. desktop PC, relic? (hp/compaq) uses 5000 in many different PC) factory,reset (what does that mean?) reset to WHAT? no symptoms stated, , NO OS STATED< wow, is it windows, windows what? it has version W2K ; is windows dead, that it? BIOS reset BIOS password reset windows password reset windows XP dead? so want to reset (called a full fresh reload of the OS its called) that?> windows 2000? 5000 the OLD Pentium 4 PC, (relic)? this old pig? 10 years old today, with zero street value. $0 why spend money on any PC this old,? with that funny thing there a FLOPPY drive? this old? this PC will not run modern OS. at all. W7 if lucky I bet not. this PC runs Windows 2000,, or W2K we say, there is no HP recover partition on this old PC, that happened 7 years later, so only CDs reload the this PC here. period;. the free books shows it runs windows 98, SE ,w2k. not even XP yet, some of these PC made next year 2001 had XP, and runs explorer 6

the battery is a 47wh, 6 cell,lithium ion battery this is a battery pack made up of 6 separate batteries and what you have a indicates that one of those batteries is failing you will need to get the new pack to fix the problem go on line to Compaq web site spares to get a new one or search on e-bay-- battery for Compaq laptop make sure that you charger is charging before you order as well

check power source then test battery

its PC, PC have many layers, of resets. (not counting lost BIOS passwords of any kind,, that adds to the list , ) layer 1, is BIOS reset, seen clearly in the BIOS pages. says there, go back to factory defaults (just BIOS) layer, 2: windows, but you never said which one? XP,Vista, W7/8/10? To reset windows, there is no such thing, in windows at all. ask MS that and get that answer, (then tells how, with media) That means the actual windows, running has no reset. (but one can spend a week or life time cleaning it....) what does this RESET, is the HP recovery process. AKA: reLOADING windows from scratch. the next step for me is carbon dating your PC, it's 12 years old now, 2006 but that is the CUSP year that HP started doing F11 KEY recoveries. so that means i must read the manual to you here goes. bingo Page B12. see link at end, 1st google hit, btw. power on and hammer F11, key verbatim. this works and takes you back to 2006 with all data gone (yours) and all added APPS gone, not HP apps there DAY1, those be OK (reality 101) now how can this fail, sure, easy as cherry pie it can here is the list.

• you changed out the HDD from 2006 to now,
• you upgraded the PC OS not using HP disks or HP media kits. (boom)
• your HDD is bad. run full disk tests now. most this old are bad
• the HDD partition called HP recovery is damaged. super common on 12 year old PC.
• the PC is sick, (huge list here , hardware!!)

Im guessing you meant black screen totally never text there. does the monitor work on other PC as it must?? simple no? if yes, it is good and the unstated PC is bad. if not, the monitor is bad, if this old monitor is very old 2 things fail. 1: CCFL lamps inside all died long ago. 2010 or older. 2: the screen saver inside IT is turned on, turn that off. push the menu button on the LCD monitor. then in the OSD turn off sleep TIMER clock.. lets say unstated PC is dead. 1: is the fans dead,? if desktop 2 fans must be good, spin and blow air and not be packed up in lint as most old PC are. heard ,seen to turn, and felt to blow.(air flow must happen) 2: does the DVD tray eject.
