When it first switches over to battery, you will generally see a flicker. The dimness is normal. Most laptops are configured to display the LCD screen when on battery power to allow longer operation on battery power. This can be overridden in the Control Panel -> Power Options but doing so will reduce the amount of time you will be able to work on battery power. The time before it enters sleep mode is generally shorter as well for the same reasons.

You should try a reinstall, you may have the BIOS Setup password enabled, if so remove the battery and plug hoold the power button down for 60 sec and reinsert battery and power, then try to reinstall XP, check the Install disk for bad scratches, try cleaning the disk and blowing out the drive with the drawer open, and reinstall

The only thing that you can do is wipe the dns. Do you know how to do this?

Format the disk to be BOOTABLE using Windows and then with a hex editor, change the first five bytes of the second sector to 4B 45 59 00 00.
Then put the floppy into your machine and boot it up, you’ll be asked for a password, just press Enter. Then when you’re asked to set the password, type Y then Enter, this will get you into the bios configuration where you can then type in a new password.

You have to purchase a seperate bluetooth transmitter to do it. Sometimes the 802.11 wireless can interfere with bluetooth and vice versa. Make sure you have one or the other on when using them.

Code 39 is a driver problem. Try downloading the lastest driver for your harware from the manuafctures website. Hope this helps.

plz check the manufacture website for drivers

Check to make sure the screensaver settings are correct. Adding RAM to a PC won't change how the screensaver works, unless you also added some software that is not letting it sit idle long enough for the screensaver to come on.

Try reinstalling the drivers for your sound card:)

you may have blowin a fuse or the motherboard could be bad.
please rate my answer it is much apreceated

you must go into bios and make your cd-dvd drive first boot and it should install ok steve

Check the drive itself and see if it isn't loose in the carriage. Make sure the screw that holds it in place isnt loose or missing. Try this as a test: shut down the laptop. Press and hold the faceplate of the drive. While holding the faceplate, turn on the laptop. See if Windows detects the device again. If not (while still pressing on the faceplate) go to Device Manager and see if Windows sees the drive again.
The above trick you used is in case a CD burning program was improperly updated or uninstalled and it damaged the identifying drive filters. Each of those entries has more than one set of reg entries in the keyset. Make sure youre looking for the one for the CD/DVD drive. DO NOT DELETE entries for any other devices!!!

Is the fan making an unusual noise or just sounding normal but on more then it used to be? If its just on more than it used to be then it will be because the cpu is running hotter than it used to. They are set run at diff speeds depnding on how much cooling is reqd. Is the laptop being used in a warmer place than normal/before?

It may be that the thermal paste between cpu and heatsink isnt performing as well as it used to and needs replacing.

Sometime things are uninstalled or just simply get corrupted in the registry. When this happens CD-ROM/DVDs get disabled. You should be able to follow the steps form this site to get straightened out. Thanks and Good Luck...
