compaq 700z

[bsblhater]

hi everyone i have  2 compaq presarios 700z and i need a service manual for them. i have spent a lot of time looking for this manual and i can find hundreds of them but nothing in the 700 series. i would like to know if anyone knows the reason for this or is there another model that is very similiar. there are lots of cd and manuals on ebay that say they cover all the compaq laptops but when you look through the list the manual covers it goes presario 350, 900 series and up. i need the manual to try and salvage one of these.

thankyou
jim

If you'd like to describe exactly what problems you're having, perhaps we can help.

E-mail Hewlett Packard support. They own Compaq now.

i was able to talk online with a hp rep and he set me up with a dowloadable manual. the manual is awesome i have the puter totally disasembled already. unfortunatly my mother board is junk. now onto the job of trying to get one reasonable from ebay. thanks for all the support you guys. hey iam looking at a few of these compaq 700z puters on ebay most of them do not power up. has anyone had any experience with the non power up deal most of these are sold as is and they state that it could be the mother board causing the no power up issue. i think i,am going to have to take a chance and get one and hope the mother board is good to put my spare together any more input will be appreciated guys

thanks

Just recycle the case and the drives and get what your budget can handle...No reason it needs to be a Compaq any longer.

I would recommend though a new PSU for any new build.

This is a laptop right? You will not have any fun with this project and can damage even more, if that's possible, if you have no experience with laptop disassembly.

Compaq laptops are strictly low end and not very durable at all, although there are a few exceptions, I'm sure.

There is a reason a broken computer is listed as no warranty. Don't spend too much on this project.
