In reply to Barb Beaghan. @ Barb Beaghan, In order to remove the bezel you will have to remove some screws securing it on the bottom. Also, it's necessary to remove the keyboard.

In reply to SUKANTA MANDAL. @ SUKANTA MANDAL,

Will you help me how to disassemble COMPAQ PRESARIO CQ42 that I own?

You'll find laptop disassembly instructions in the official maintenance guide for Compaq Presario CQ42 laptops.

I canâ€t run it without charge for not more than 15 minutes.So gradually I have to connect my laptop with the charger as long as I wish to continue running it.This is same with my friend who also has a Compaq laptop.Is this a battery problem or something else?

Most likely this is battery problem. Try replacing it.

In reply to Katie. Katie, Someone set it up for you as a joke? Here's what you can do: 1. Remove hard drive and install it into the external USB enclosure. 2. Connect to another working PC or laptop and backup data. 3. Install the hard drive back into the laptop and reinstall OS. Take a look at this guide: https://www.insidemylaptop.com/recover-files-from-broken-laptop/

Can anyone advise why I could use my Presario 2500 DM758A, last night with no problem, but yet this morning I now have a password on the user account. I never before needed a password to acess my user account. What happened? I went into the F2 setup, and it says the user account and the administrator account both need passwords. Even though I reset the password in the Bios, it still doesn’t allow me to get into the user account.
Could anyone advise what to do? It is driving me crazy.
