If the battery will not charge, try this:

1.) First, power reset the unit by powering it off, unplugging it from AC power, removing the battery, then push and hold the power button on the unit for about 60 seconds.

2.) Next, plug the AC adapter back in (LEAVE THE BATTERY OUT), power the unit on. Does the unit power on?

If yes, Power the unit off and put the battery back in, let it charge overnight. If, after this the battery will still not charge, you will have to replace the battery. Contact the OEM to ensure you get the correct battery.

If no, remove the AC adapter carefully, look inside the DC port (where the charger plugs in to the laptop) you should see a small silver pin. Is this pin missing or bent? If the pin seems to be in good shape, then most likely you will have to replace the AC adapter. If it IS bent or missing, then you will need to contact a laptop repair center.

How do I unlock my keyboard on my dell Vostro 1710 computer

I'll assume your keyboard was fully functional, then something happened (not involving a liquid spill or other physical damage), and now your keyboard seems to be dead. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I take it that your computer makes it through the bootstrapping process and successfully completes POST before Windows(?) takes over.

Based on those assumptions, I think you tripped a security "feature" by accident, which can be disabled either through a specific combination of keys (e.g. ctrl + alt + del), or by entering BIOS configuration (commonly f12, f2, or del).

Finally, it is possible you will need to drain all power from the machine by unplugging the charger, removing the big laptop battery, and then removing the CMOS battery by taking off the RAM or HDD panel on the underside of the laptop. If this is required, I suggest waiting at least 15 seconds before replacing the batteries.

Does my Dell Vostro 1710 have a webcam?

It is an optional extra on this laptop according to dell link below.
the webacam is located at the top center of the screen if it is installed when you shine a torch in there you should see the lens like a camera on your mobile.

I would also check the device manager and see if anything appears in there. Perhaps drivers need to be installed.

Ifthe laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be wornout. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cyclesand will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up atall. ORThe battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected thebattery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. Ifthe battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to bereplaced.
