Wed, 14 Sep 2022 07:12:52 -0700

A glass of water was knocked over spilling on to my laptop (Compaq Presario cq62) keyboard. well I turned it upside down so the water could spill out then I turned it on to see if it worked and it did BUT when I was trying to type in my password some buttons wouldn't type and some would, well when I tried to delete it wouldn't delete instead the delete button would add a letter each time pushed. So I took the battery out n turned it upside down and it stayed like that over night, well now we tryd using it but it wont turn on at all even if the charger was plugged in to it ,the laptop wont even turn on make any noise or lightup . what should I do or dos anyone know what could be the main problem!

Compaq Presario CQ57: Computer will turn on, screen won't.

Fri, 30 May 2025 01:57:15 -0700

My computer will turn on, and it'll give me a couple seconds to go to the start up menu, but beyond that the computer screen stays blank. When I try the options on the start up menu it will just turn the computer screen blank. I've tried the removing battery and holding the power button. But that hasn't changed anything. I don't have the material to connect to another screen, let alone know how to do so.

My friend thinks it has something to do with a virus. I gave her my computer to try to fix and she said she found 9 trojans and several other minor viruses. It's a used computer and I can't afford a new one.

Any help is appreciated.

Compaq Presario CQ57: How do you switch WIFI on/off

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 15:37:07 -0700

I have the wifi keyboard light showing red, ie wifi is off. I have tried to switch it on from Windows 10 settings to no avail. I cannot find an external switch (but have never switched it off deliberately).

Is there some key combination needed?

I have removed and re-inserted the wifi module, but no success.
