There are several things to check on that model.

1. Power system off, turn it over, tighten all screws on the bottom and back (The LCD gets it's ground thru the hinges and if the screws get loose the LCD can go off)

I guess there is a driver issue, either there is not a proper driver or isn't installed properly.

You didn't mentioned the Operating System, So I'm assuming it is XP, and here the Audio Driver for XP Inspiron 1000.


If you are using some other OS, do tell me, I'll give you the proper driver than.

I hope this will help you out,

Regards, WAQAR.

it is a viruse and it is a strong one sorry you will need to format you computer and reinstall your operating system

3. clicking the "+" next to it.)
4. Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
5. Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key

Reboot your computer

Please make sure that you have reconnected all connectionpoints, and if there is a grounding strap - a flat woven wire connected to the monitor and the laptop's motherboard - ensure that it, too, has been tightly connected.

Before we go into the BIOS, lets try a few other things first. Go to the control panel, you get there by going to the start button and then to settings and there will be the control panel. Once there look for your "power options", open power options and look for the heading "closing the lid", when you find this, click on the drop down menu and choose "do nothing". Then look at the tabs at the top of the window and open the tab for Hibernation and turn it off. If you have windows 7, these changes can be made from the edit power plan settings. Try to edit the power settings first before messing with the BIOS.

Check the device manager in windows and see if there is an exclamation mark on a network adapter. If there is right click it and update driver. If there is no exclamation then you can try to remove and reinstall your network adapter(s). If it seems to be fine in windows its prob not the cause of your problem. Good luck.

Is this a new purchase?

Sometimes batteries take 2-3 charge and discharges to be able to reach the manufacturers specs.

If this is not a new purchase then you have a faulty battery. Unfortunately batteries are not under warranty replacement. You could try to make a claim, but I doubt they will come to the party.

You could make noises about misleading advertising and consumer affairs, good luck

Hi,

Are you connected to any network or How many users are there for this computer.

Shut down the PC and again bring it back after few minutes. Enter using the User Name and Password. I am positive that it would fix the issue.Unless, who have the admin rights for this PC?

Is this a Home or a Business PC?

Let me know, once done.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

go to my computer right click on properties and in the pop up box clck hardware you will see a red check if it is disabled if not uninstall the sound driver and restart the laptop it should reinstall the driver.if this does not work go to www.dell.com.support and download new drivers but make sure you follow the instructions above and than install the new drivers.

The power adapter MUST BE a Dell brand power adapter.
If it is, then the socket that was replaced is not the right part.
Of course, the laptop can work just fine with the power adapter, it justwon't charge the battery.

Go to your settings menu and adjust the bar that says to turn your screen off after a minute.  If that don't work then have IT open this puppy up and replace the bulbs or inverter.

I would take it to somewhere like Batteries Plus. they usually have the battery in stock and the guys at the one near me were very helpful and willing to try it for mine.
