C734TU

Hi,

I have been reading all your posts since three months now . I have been facing the same problem with C734TU.. The mic does not work and the lappy as well as headphones give sound together. I have been constantly mailing and following up with HP but ALAS ! no solution. Honestly Its a PITY to know that a well reputed firm like HP has done something like this.. manufactured a product which is incompatible with major OS's and not providing the right information to the customers while selling their products.

Girls and GUys... I hv given it up... I dont think there would ever be a solution for this problem. I, as an individual is so helpless. Lil, do these cheaters realise how frustrating it is to own a product for which you have paid but are unable to use it the way you wish to!

If anyone ever finds a solution. pls pls pls mail me on anjalie28@hotmail.com

Rgds....

Working link for audio driver for Compaq Presario C734TU

I got the links for Windows XP drivers for my compaq c734tu laptop from your site most of which worked. Thanks a lot for your timely help.

But, while the video driver link did not work totally, the audio driver that I downloaded with your link could not install audio with your procedure. It showed error(code10).

I would like to give the link for the audio driver that works nicely with compaq c734tu laptop with the procedure given by you after the installation of Microsoft Universal Audio Architechture(UAA) Bus that you have provided.

issues with the internal 56k dialup modem (in any linux)

hi there (whoever is reading),
i dont know to whom its applicable, but here it goes. i got this laptop from the rag showroom for a 22k price. and i like it and its very comfortable to carry this than my other notebooks like toshiba and vaio which are (beep beep) expensive. the reason i did choose this is because i can use it as much as i want and if i did happen to bump this into anything i can get the things replaced for a very affordable price. as i am always on the move and i am into development; i was having trouble configuring the sound card and 56k internal connexant dialup modem. i must have tried everything. i did even try the HSF modem from linuxant and gone with the limited edition, but there still seems to be some kind of a glitch. it JUST DOESN'T WORK (TM) as opposed to JUST WORKS(TM). now the thing is i am developing my own distro via LFS and the annoying thing here is i am left to decide yet as if to use the ndiswrapper to install the softmodem and also the sound card drivers? or recompile the entire thing .viz kernel and et al and carry on with the limited 20kbps verion of linuxant. the thing is paying 19.99 US$ to linuxant and getting lifetime support for the driver is okay with me. but the damned sound card with the altec lansing mini speakers and also the headphone audio out clash thingie.
i am just worried that if i use this will i be screwing up this laptop. yeah i know its inexpensive, but its pretty nice working condition and ideal for me as it doesnt give me a price/journey-bump ratio headache. if anyone installed ndiswrapper and made it to work? please share the information and also i been asking people in efnet and freenode and oftc IRC networks as if there is any work around and all gave me a negative nod for a work around aka bypass.
to sum up the issues?
#1. get the sound work like how its supposed to work with vista and also make the modem work w/o conjunction to sound card, and disable the speaker sound output along with headset earphone output as opposed to both working at the same time and eating and feasting on the laptop battery charge. any hint is highly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Despicable Hardware issues with presario C700 Series

I brought a Compaq Presario C754 TU on 03-04-2007. Firstly I faced the issue of drivers in Win-xp but being uninterested in using pirated xp, I installed Gutsy Gibbon. The troubles I had with hardware now were that the speakers remained to be on even when the headphone was plugged in and the webcam light remained on all the time.
On the 5th day of my purchase, I found out that the lid of the laptop, when closed, had a 10 mm gap, without being completely closed. It didn’t have such problems when placed horizontally on a flat surface. But when it is placed vertically on its hinges, it exhibited this tendency to remain slightly open. You would be knowing that this series does not have a click lock mechanism as the other laptops and the whole notebook depended on the internal spring mechanism of the Hinges to remain locked. I had doubts about it the very first time I saw, but had relied on the reputation of hp as a notebook maker. The worst part is that I had referred the same lap to 2 of my friends and one of them is having the same trouble. The issue is not a trivial one. When placed inside the carry case, it remained open by 10 mm like a harmonium, and with the movements of the bag, it constantly closed and opened to the same 10 mm gap.

The next issue is when I was working on it. When the fan in my room was put in full speed, the lid that is, the screen, slightly shook like a piece of thin metal sheet. This could be due to two reasons. One, the slim construction of the lid and the disability of the hinges to hold the lid firmly.

I took it to hp service in Calicut and I found the same trouble with another notebook of the same series which was brought for service. But the owner seemed to have not interest in the issue as he was making fuss about installing 3D Max in Vista.

With all the experience that I have with laptops, I strongly opine that such a trouble with the hinges would definitely aggravate in the future.

The hp personals took some pics and have sent it to hp and I’m waiting for the response. If it’s not a favorable one, I am even thinking about approaching the consumer court. I have 4 people who have the same trouble and we are planning about clubbing our complaint.

I need replacement. I would like to hear the opinion of Team Zyxware.

My suggestions for anyone who intends to buy a C 700 series is-:
1) Check the hinges before you buy.
2) Use Ubuntu or buy Vista if you have money to burn.

Laptop problem

Dear Mr. Sreekumar,

My apologies for not responding at the proper time. Had been really busy.

I was just wondering, had the problems with your laptop been cleared or do they still persist?

I do not know what to comment on the issue where your laptop lid remains open showing a gap of 10mm. But regarding the other problem, where the laptop screen shakes with the room fan ON, I would like to say that it is not a hardware problem or something like that. It happens just because the fast moving falls on to the screen which causes that shake. This is usually seen randomly. And even my laptop screen shake too. Mine is from HCL.

Do you still have problem with your speaker and headphone, and also with the built-in webcam?

Have you joined ilug-tvm? It is a very strong and active Linux Users Group, which we have formed. If you have not, you can find it here - http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm . I would like to recommend you to join there and we all would be very happy to help you out the way we can.

Let me know about the present situation.

Driver problem in Compaq Presario C734TU

Dear Ramasamy

The problem is due to driver incompatibility. All latest model laptops are designed to work only with Windows Vista. They come with latest hardware that require latest version drivers. All drivers for XP are of previous version. However, the company will give links for drivers for XP, but they do not guarantee that the drivers will work perfectly.
One option is to put Vista in it. Another better option that we would like to suggest is to install Linux in it. All latest versions of Linux are easy to use and configure. They are available for download from internet, free of cost. If you have troubles with internet or no internet access, you can even use our CD/DVD Request Module to order a copy for you at a very nominal charge.

Graphic Driver problem with Presario C734TU

Dear Mr. Ravi,

This is a common problem faced by many customer. All the latest models from Compaq are designed to work with Vista, as they come installed with updated hardwares and drivers. The drivers given for XP are of older versions and the problem that you are facing must be due to incompatibility of old driver with new hardware. One option that you have is to install Vista, for which drivers are available online in the company's website itself. Another option is to install Linux, which would run perfectly on your machine.

Function keys not working - Audio driver problem

Dear Ajish,

Thank you for your support.
First of all, let me remind you that these laptops are designed especially for Vista only as they come installed with latest updated hardwares and drivers. All drivers given for XP are of previous version which might create some kind of glitches like this, due to driver incompatibility.
Why don't you try out GNU/Linux in your laptop? We as a company are promoting use of Linux amongst our customers. If you can bring your laptop to our office, we would be more than happy to install and configure Linux for you and it is free of charge. I don't think you would face any problems like this in Linux.

cheers

Thanks for the quick response

hello sir,
thanks for the response. Some people say that its difficult to work in Linux and people need additional training to work upon. is it true?

Linux is simple and easy to learn

It is a misconception that Linux is difficult and is only for the experts. It used to be so 15 years back. Now it is no longer so. You can easily get yourself used to some of the more friendly distributions out there like Ubuntu, Fedora etc. Even a novice user can learn any of these flavors of GNU/Linux very easily

Audio problem in Compaq Presario C734TU

Dear Mr. Praveen,

First of all, let me remind you that these laptops that come from HP-Compaq are designed with latest updated hardwares, to work perfectly with Windows Vista. The drivers for Vista are also of updated versions. But the drivers provided for XP are of previous versions are they are not properly tested for Windows XP. The company does not give you any guarantee that these drivers will work perfectly with XP.
A code 10 error is due to incompatibility of the driver with the hardware. Try installing alternate drivers from other laptops that fall under C700 series.

headphone problem

I recently had the same problem with my laptop and figured out the following ..
1) Open Power DVD to play any Audio / Vedio Devices
2) Plug the headphone into the output of the laptop when the audio device is running.
3) Press Mute on the Power DVD audio controls.
4) Now your speaker will be in mute and the headphone working
5) This sequence works only in Power DVD and not in Windows Media Player.
