user manuals

I have a compaq armada 7800 laptop. Does anyone know where to get a user manual for it? Either hard copy or downloadable will do.

Thanks in advance for any help.

That's the closes thing to a manual I've found too. But I have buttons and a slot on the side of me laptop that are not covered in these pdf files. So I thought that maybe there was a "real" user manual ou there some where.

I appreciate your help anyway.

Finding a manual for something from the internet has been a pain in the <something> always.

The closest match I always get is some site that takes money if they print you the manual - and they seem to have a manual for virtually everything.

You might get lucky and get some from a store or shop that sells the specific type of device. But if it's really old model, that's quite remote...

Sometimes the only real documents available are docs that came on a CD with a system. In that case, if someone could provide an ISO image of the CD, you could burn a copy of the whole OEM CD!

You're right. I never thought of that. So now all I have to do is find another human being with the same laptop and model, and that has the cd and is willing to help make a copy available. LOL

well if you have access to a digital camera you could post a pic of the buttons and slot in question.
Maybe someone will recognise it and be able to point you in right direction.

Well, you might think I was being a lamer, but the Armada is a very popular lappy, you might only need to ask around here at TechIMO.... You'd be surprised what folks here could do!
