General Comments
I am sad to hear that a lot of people have had problems with their Compaq Presario 1200. The only thing that I can find is the battery (it sucks).
I recommend Compaq to anyone that is looking for a laptop.
Another reason why I think people are whinging about their old Compaq Presario 1200 is because it's slow (well... mabye because it's old).
Most people think of it this way... at least your laptop is still going.

It sounds like you haven't ever owned a compaq 1200 in your life before, there is a HUGE message board with users having trouble with it either powering up then powering off quick or no monitor display also its common to find the power input gets fried out and need replacement. This was a bad design on compaqs part and the problem still has yet to be definitivly identified. I honestly after having an electrician and a computer repair expert look at this with no signs of fault in hardware or software; I believe it is one of the chips on the mobo causing a virus-like activity.
