Have you tried some external powered speakers or even some headphones?
The problem may just be a dead speaker in your case or even a loose or misplaced jumper wire from the speaker to the motherboard.
Good luck, hope this helps. Post back if you're still stuck.

Depending on the age of your system, we have also included our own emergency driver re-detect software. This will remove and unplug all devices from your system and re-detected every driver automatically removing old and duplicates. This will in effect clean out the side of your registry that deals with hardware. No other restore disk has this software and can claim to clear your system hardware drivers.

#2
Some of our restore disks have an automatic system driver update included!
There are many applications that allow you to automatically update your drivers. These applications scan your system and the automatically download and update your drivers.
We are rolling this feature out in all our recovery cds over the next few months

As per Dell Technical support LCD kit needs to be Replaced.

I Would recommend to
Run PSA Diagnostics. Check for PSA Error codes

if unable see display during PSA Diagnostics use External monitor to make note of Error code.

Check Error code on support.dell.com

If no Error codes. Then Only option is replace LCD kit

Try reseating the drive. If this doesn't work it maybe faulty try a replacement drive.

Be sure your speakers / headphones are plugged into the correct port. There are several, try each one.

If you still fail to recieve sound from your system, check to make sure the speakers / headphones are functioning properly. If all else fails, you can usually find a cheap surroundsound PCI card for anywhere between $14 - $30 at your local computer componant outlet.

Bestbuy, Fry's are just a couple, there are also online avenues you can persue, such as Newegg.com ,and tigerdirect.com... Bestbuy has technicians on staff that will be more than willing to help you chooose a card, as well, they may be able to help you install it.

Hi scottie_dorn,
this isn't a webcam, it's an ambient light sensor, I'm afraid. Just to make sure: assuming that you're running a Windows-system, please open the device manager and have a look at "Audio, Video..." whether there is an entry regarding a webcam. I'm pretty sure, there isn't one... Greetings from Germany,
