Is it possible to connect 2 external monitors to a dell xps m1330

Yes, it is possible you can connect 2 or 2 billion external monitors, all you need is the extension cable, which is normally called a spilter or usb to vga spilter, and you can connect as amany as you want.
remember, USB to VGA adapter. or spilter.
else

There's plenty of evidence to indicate that using two screens is more effective than one; at least up to a certain point. There's also a strong indication that those two monitors need to be the same size, since your visual receptors seem to get confused by screens of different sizes. A recent Utah study indicates that using 2 20-inch monitors allowed people to complete tasks 44% faster than using 1 18-inch monitor, making a pair of 20-inch screens from Dell for under $600 sound like a steal. Since many people I know have switched to using a laptop as their primary machine no matter where they are, the trick of using two monitors (at least when docked) can be crucial.
The trick I use for connecting 2 external monitors to my own laptop is to connect one to the external video port on my laptop and a second monitor gets connected to a DisplayLink adapter. The adapter connects via USB allowing you to extend your desktop to another screen. They are sold under a variety of brand names which makes the adapters a little tricky to track down, but a quick search of eBay for USB to DVI Adapter turns up several options that are basically the same thing under several different names. DisplayLink also links to several online stores, although they do a lousy job of labeling which country each store serves.

Dell XPS M1330 doesn't recognize original power cord after 2 yrs

Check your mains adapter plug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltage should be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on the bottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that is printed on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.

If the adapter is OK then connect it to the laptop and power it up, then look at the power/battery charging LED light and wriggle the power plug in the laptop's power socket. If the power/battery LED light flashes and in a certain position this LED light stays firm, then the power socket is either faulty or it has a dry solder joint where it is connected to the motherboard.
This can be repaired but it requires the laptop to be completely dismantled to get at this power socket and repair. I suggest you get a quote first.

I have mistakenly changed

Look in your icon tray for the wireless device, right click on it, pick connections, highlight your existing home network, Delete it then start a new connection to the same signal and input the password if you are using one. Hint: you will get the same red X if your hard wired network cable is not being used as well. So make you know what the red X is for.

How to change speakers on xps m1330 laptop

The internal speakers I presume. Essentially you have to completely disassemble the system. Remove the battery, all drives, central control cover, LCD, Keyboard, Palmrest, Card cage and motherboard to get to the speakers in the bottom back of the chassis.

Try plugging in an external monitor. Not a flat panel, just a regular CRT is preferred. See if you get a picture. This will tell you if it is the LCD screen on your laptop or a CPU problem.

Help help help! XPS M1330 Going dead now..No AC Adapter charges

If you have the correct PSU and it is not helping to charge the laptop then there is a strong chance that part of the circuit on the laptop is pooched. If you have been throwing a wide assortment of adapters at it then any one of them that may have had the wrong voltage could have done the damage

When it come to laptops especially they mus be fed with a supply that has both the correct voltage and the correct output current.

If you laptop says 19V 1000mA then that is what you must give it ! You can give it a little more on the current and that's often of a benefit to both the PSU and the item being powered but NEVER NEVER give it less

Also if your replacement PSU feels lighter than the original then don't use it unless you get a damn good warranty as it is probably a cheap chinese switch mode one that may state it has the current but when it comes to the crunch it probably wont !

Giving it less will result in that laptop not charging properly with a risk of damage to the batteries, it will also cause the laptop to try draw more current that is available from the supply which may overheat the supply to the point of a fire, it could even cause parts of the voltage regulation components in the laptop to work too hard and cause failure

Good news is that the repairs to this section of the board are pretty common and therefore can be inexpensive (esp compared to a new motherboard). Older laptops also suffer the power socket failure problems (most brands) so if you have to take it in to get fixed get them to do that as well.

I don't follow your civil law rant at all but from your admittance to using incorrect PSU's i don't think you would have much of a chance in any litigation LOL

My dell m1330 laptop says that no batterey can be

You either have a bad battery or the connector on the motherboard is bad. Have you tried another battery? Try doing a power drain.

Remove the battery and the AC connector, hold down the power button for 10 sec. Plug the AC connector back in and boot up your machine. Once it's fully booted then shut it down and plug the battery back in and try that out.

XPS 1330 screen turns black

My first guess is that your video card is starting to go bad. My second guess is the processor needs to have its heatsink reseated. If it is under warranty I would have dell repair it so you don't incur the charge of a new video card.
