edwin,

The laptop booted ok after that.

Compaq Presario 2190US slow boot + garbled BIOS setup info
Hi, My son brought his Compaq Presario 2190US over, and it has multiple problems ... I think that there's a problem with the power connector. I have to jiggle it until I can get it to power on. I'll fix that eventually, but that's not the reason for this post... The problem is that when I do get it ...
