I don't no if you can return the laptop, but if you can I would do it now. But if you can't lets see what we can find out. Remove the main battery and power adapter, allow a few minutes for any residual charge to drain off, plug in power supply only and power up, if yes! the battery needs to be replaced, if no! take your thumb and put it around the power jack plugged into the laptop, now bend it sideways "gently" and at the same time hit the power repeatedly, if yes! the DC jack needs to be resold-ed back on the motherboard or replaced, but in order to do that the laptop must be dis-assembled. If all this fails you are looking at a problem with the motherboard.

I had the same problem with one of mine. You will have to locate the cmos take it our for a about an hour and put it back in and problem should be fixed.

Check to make sure that its not muted, your volume is turned up, and that you have all the necessary sound drivers. Otherwise, it's indicative of a hardware failure, and needs to be repaired.

Check that the 'mute' selection is checked or not checked when clicking on the speaker icon on the bar on the lower right hand of your screen.

1. First step is to check if the laptop is overheating:

• Does the bottom feel very hot to the touch
• Is the CPU fan not spinning up

If it is hot to the touch and the CPU fan is not spinning up, this will cause the system to overheat and shutdown as a safety feature. In this case the fan would either need to be cleaned or replaced.
2. Failing hardware can also cause this (i.e. a failing motherboard, CPU, Battery, Power Cable, internal PSU, etc.):

• Did you notice any system freezes or slow down prior to this happening
• Have you noticed a sharp decline in battery life

Try disconnecting the battery and then only use the power supply cable to power up your laptop. If the problem still occurs, then reinsert the battery and remove the power cable and attempt to start up the laptop with only the battery inserted.
3. In some cases this can be caused by a malware (virus) infection. The infections that cause this can sometimes be remedied, but usually require expert assistance and the remediation process is very specific to that type of infection.

• Does it get to the first splash screen (i.e. the BIOS splash screen)

If it doesn't get past (or even to) the BIOS splash screen (usually a Dell Logo) then that would point towards it being a over heating issue or Power issue.
Having said that, it's more likely a hardware issue (i.e. dead to dying Battery, failing Power cable, broken CPU fan, etc.) instead of a virus infection. Make sure to check the first two steps to get you closer to properly troubleshooting your issue.

Hi, there should be a software within the machine that uses the camera though in some cases there is none installed specifically for that, other software like yahoo messenger, msn messenger, skype and so forth all use the camera in chatting with other people, you can easily check if the camera work by signing into one of those and going into Audio/Video setup to check the camera... other software is available through the net for free that can allow you to use the camera and capture images and short videos with it as well... the following link has some and you can search the net for anything like 'webcam software' Best of Luck

Make sure the wireless network is enabled by clicking on the Start - Connect to - Wireless Network Connection.
Also make sure the switch on the left side of the computer is turned on.

If you have a resource CD from Dell, you can boot from that CD by powering on the laptop and pressing F12 which will bring you to a boot menu. Insert the Resource CD and select boot from CD/DVD device. Follow prompts for diagnostics to run custom and select Audio or speakers. If you hear sound then the hardware is working. Your OS (operating system) is the problem.
