Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

And so on...

Searching phrases on net: "Dismantling a Compaq Presario Laptop", "Disassemble a Compaq Presario Laptop"

Hope this can be helpful.

Edit:
An old model?

Usually,the fuse must be close to the power jack... Edited by vasi 2010-04-12

Fuse? I've never seen a laptop with a fuse. More likely the computers either Fried or the power supply is fried. Check the power supply for voltage then make sure the power connector inside the laptop is not loose or broken.Edited by GreenD88 2010-04-12

Of what I read so far, Compaq Presario have a fuse on board.

My laptop owner has a short fuse.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now.

Well I guess they do I've never had a problem with one before so I didn't know they were there. Now fuse's don't usually blow for nothing so buy several of them, (DigiKey), maybe yours was just old and decided to blow. But if not you might go through a couple before finding why it blew.
