Time to replace your LCD Screen. To verify that it is the lcd screen on the laptop, borrow a Monitor from a neighbor, friend, relative or co-worker and plug it into the laptop. It can be any kind of monitor even the old big fat crt monitors as long as it has a vga cable to connect to your computer's vga port. If so that proves your video card is ok. The video will show on most systems when you reboot without you having to do anything. Some systems will require you to hit the FN (Function key) + F1 thru F12. Hold down the FN key then hit the correct key for displaying on the monitor (F1 thru F12). The correct key will normally have CRT/LCD on it or it will have the icon of a display.

problem in your BIOS

on the WLAN card there would be one little pop thing to snap the wire into. do that and its on.

Make sure the physical switch for the WiFi is on.

Ok restart the pc again and then before anything comes on the screen hit the f8 key a few times, the boot option page will show up click on last known configuration the worked. if you get nothing still repeat what you did but click safe mode if you OS is still intact and not damaged or corrupt it will start up after manually restarting all the drivers it should start. if it does go through proper shut down sequenceand restart normally if still not on then time to reload the OS you will need the boot disk for your OS pop it in start it up and follow the promps

I'd put Linux on it.

UBUNTU link

That computer is about 5 years old. Linux works very well with old computers.
Takes up less space, uses less processor power to run, and comes with free versions of pretty much everything.

I don't even think a current version of windows will install on a 5 year old Dell. So you'd be stuck with out of date anti-virus and no updates.

Boot off the Ubuntu disk and just wipe windows.

To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.

In case of your laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper.

Have you tried rebooting the machine?

Also you should really run Firefox:

IE has SERIOUS security holes so you are opening your data up to bad hackers every time you browse.

Hi friend, In this case I would recommend you to connect any external monitor to the laptop and check if you have the same issue on the external monitor as well. If the same issue occurs on the external one than we can try installing the latest video drivers for the same'
If the external is fine, then i would recommend you to please change the LCD of the laptop

You can download the drivers from Dell WEB site, the support download page. Make sure you select your model desktop or laptop, better still, type in the Service Tag number, it is printed on the label on the bottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Tag label is missing then go into the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages, the Service Tag number will be displayed). This will open the page where the specific drivers for your model computer are located. Also make sure you select the Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operating system. Click on this link to download the drivers: -
