    Have a compaq cq60, approx two years old. Only starts with battery removed. Any ideas what is causing this, please.

    I would have thought with a knackered battery the laptop would still start with batt in and mains plugged in ?

    Try updating the BIOS. It works some of the time.

    Get the drivers from HERE
