Identifying a Compaq Presario
A friend of mine bought a Compaq Presario from an auction, and there's no model number on it anywhere - Windows XP got it working without native drivers, but not everything is working properly (no audio). The video adaptor isn't being identified at all - it's not listed in the device manager, and even in the advanced display properties, everything comes up as UNKNOWN.
All he has is a serial number, and Compaq/hp wants to charge $35 to identify the model number, presumably so he can find the right drivers for it. Does anyone know of an application that might be able to tell him the model number, or some way of identifying it?
