The laptop is a Presairo 2700 Compaq. I turn on the laptop and the company logo "Compaq" comes up right away, but it goes no further, when i press f10 to get to the options menu so i can switch it to boot from cd, it just says loading more options, and refuses to boot. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you have access to floppy drive you can download a new bios & flashing program from HPCompaq's website. Make floppy disk, and boot. Should reinstall a new bios to your
cmos, and boot normaly. I have 5 CPQ-PRES LT's. They amost all have quirkey problems
of some kind. Hope this helps.

(I'm assumeing that you can not access the
BIOS thru F1,F2 or ESC)

i have the exact same computer as you =) and i had the same problem so an adapter came loose if not just take out

the battery then turn it on while leaving it with the ac plug as the primary power source then hopefully it turns

on. if it does then put back in the battery.
