Compaq Presario V3000 Windows 8 Drivers and Upgrade

Compaq Presario V3000 Windows 8 Drivers and Upgrade

Compaq Presario V3000 originally released with Windows Vista and can be upgraded to Windows 7 without problems. If you plan to upgrade to windows 8, here I will describe in details about the hardware, drivers and certain issues after upgrading to Windows 8.

Content:
1. Installing Windows 8 and System Requirements.
2. Overheating Problems.
3. Drivers

Installing Windows 8 and System Requirements.
1. You can choose either to make a fresh installation or if you already have windows 7 installed, you can use Windows 8 upgrade.
2. System Requirements: Windows 8 require at least 1GB of RAM, and base on users experience Compaq Presario V3000 meet the minimum requirement for Windows 8.

Overheating Problem
The he at problem was common among V3000 series, the temperature increase base on the following operating system:
Windows XP < Windows 7 < Windows 8 < Windows Vista

Solution: (You can choose one of this method)
1. Clean your on board fan (you can choose to do it yourself or send it to shop which normally cost you about ~$ 5, at my place it cost about MYR15 ~ $ 3).
2. Get an external USB Fan, place it near to the top left side of your keyboard. (This trick work most of the time). This method also prevent auto shut down during Windows Installation.
3. Get a new motherboard (cost around $ 80-$ 130)

How to Identify Webcam Using PID Code

How to Identify Webcam Using PID Code

The PID Code is a Line of code which we use to identify our webcam device. Each webcam has it own unique PID code, and by using this code we can determine which drivers we need to install.

How to Check Webcam PID Code:
1. Fist open device manager.
2. Now look for "webcam device", it is normally located under the imaging device.  The name may varies depend on your webcam and model.

The p icture above shows HP webcam listed, and there are no yellow mark on it means the drivers already installed. If the driver not yet installed normally you will see a yellow mark and sometimes it listed other device like picture below:

3. Right click on it and select properties. Then, select details and on the drop down menu select Hardware ID's.

4. Look at the picture above, the whole Line is the Hardware ID, the PID code is part of the Hardware ID. It start from PID and ended before & sign. From the picture above:

Hardware ID : USB\VID_064E&PID_A1116&REV_0313&MI_00
PID CODE: PID_A1116


How To Use PID code to identify/Download Drivers for The Webcam

---

There 2 ways you can identify your webcam device and download the proper drivers.

1. By downloading from the manufacture download site.

Example you have an Asus A42JC, so we go to the download site and we will see lots of webcam driver listed, and we need to select one base on th e PID code that matches the PID code displayed on the download site.

2. If you manufacturer does not list out the hardware ID or PID code for your webcam, we just need to Google the hardware ID to find out the right webcam driver. Example if you have an Acer 1810T and on the download site there are 3 drivers listed:

So to choose the right driver first we must obtain the PID code.

If Hardware ID is:
USB\VID_04F2&PID_B175&REV_1357&MI_00

So the PID Code is : PID_B175

Now if we Google the PID code the result would be:

 

From the search result the ri ght webcam driver is chicony. If you have problem do let me know.
