I have put the usb cord into the computer and turner the power on. The light is yellow on the side power knob but when I play a videoon my laptop the sound comes out of my computer not the speakers?

some of them you have to plug into the wall for power. or there is two usb cables on side of usb wire. you might have to plug them both in. is it a big one or a small one? the big one has to have a power cord to power it and the switch is on tehb ack to turn it on. the small one has two usb plugs one side and a small er 0ne on the other.

Hi Carl, I found 2 different hook-ups so I will list them both. You can check them out according to the wire colors you have in the mic cord. First one and this may be for a turner mobile mic. ;
Turner
1- Shield & Red
2- N/C
3- Blue
4- White
5- Black
Yellow NC

This one is out of the Turner book but they did not list your radio exactly. This is the most popular hook-up for Realistic's.
Code E;
1-S
2- N/C
3- Bk
4- Wh
5- Red
Hope this helps, Mike

According to the manual you probably have a bad memory chip. Here is the excerpt I got from dell.
If the power light is steady amber, a device may be malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.

• Remove and then reinstall the memory modules (see Memory).
  
  
• Remove and then reinstall any cards (see the "Cards" section for your computer).
  

Check your memory first then try some of the other steps if it does not boot.
Maybe your memory is bad or the memory slot is bad.Remove the Power Cord, Open the Case and remove one of thememory chips. Set the chip aside then try rebooting the computer. If it boots, then you know the memory chip you set aside is bad so mark an x onit with an ink pen. If it fails to boot then move the chip to the nextmemory slot and try rebooting. If it fails take the chip out and set itaside, then put the other chip in and try booting it in both slots. If itboots, just to verify that the chip set aside is bad, mark an x on it and putit into the open memory chip slot and try booting.

When you plug in the power cord is there any lightswhatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of thepower cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, butthe screen is not showing for some reason.

Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with thelaptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issuewhen you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous. Most times the problemis with the memory or Video Card. Count the Blinking Lights or Beeps and takenote of their pattern (1 Long or 1 Long followed by 2 Short).

Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoeverwhen you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you wasoperating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cordis bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the powercord is bad.

Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove theBattery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the batteryout) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can putthe battery back in and let it charge.Maybe your DC Power Jack which is where the power cord plugsinto the computer is bad. Take an ink pen and push the tip inside thejack and see if the little pin wiggles, if so the jack is bad. You'll have totake the laptop apart to fix it. Most times it is soldered onto themotherboard, so you will have to desolder the old and solder a new one.

Just Yellow when? Tell us what happens time you put the power cord in and press the power button? Does it try to boot? Do the lights blink? Hear any beeps? Hear any fans? Does anything ever appear on the screen?

The white and yellow end are meant to go into a vcr or tv. You need a cord with a USB end to plug into your computer.

Bad battery.

1. try to plug the cord with no battery installed.
2. try to change the RAM with a new one. If your laptop has 2 ram try to put only one.

does your usb mem stick have any light indicators? if yes , whenever you put you usb stick, does it light? if it lights are USB ports is still ok,  You just have to reformat or partition you USB stick.
(you can also try other devices like usb mouse or any usb devices that lights up when you connect it)

if there are no lights if you plug, or no indication that a power goes to your stick, its possible that your usb your are busted. if this is the case, if your laptop has a PCMIA slot, you can find a pcmia USB card, if you dont have. your only option is replace the  motherboard.

Go to Programs and Devices and see if your Western Digital MyBook is even listed on your computer.
