Troy kindly offered to edit my DSDT and I will give that a try. Your DSDT may work as the 2700 and 2701 are similar. I think the only difference may be the screen size and possible the CPU speed (I have 1.0 Ghz while the 2701 probalby has a 1.2 GHz).

I have a 2701 EA and have documented my experiences on http://dude.noc.clara.net/~faye/compaq2701ea/ I created a patch which includes the 0709 ACPI, nocorruption and also Firewire and USB patches. All the hardware works on my laptop and I have Battery, AC, Thermal, Processor, Events and Alarms. I've repeated the patches with 0725 but I haven't yet tested that sufficiently to put it on the website. It's possible the 2700 is similar enough to the 2701 to have the same DSDT in which case you could just compile the patched kernel, install and go. My DSDT is also available on that page separately so you could check before installing. My advice would be not to install it as your main kernel until you are satisfied everything is working correctly (or at least better than your old kernel did!)
