Hi Terrez,

1. To reinstall windows from Windows disk Insert the disk in the drive, restart the computer and enter the BIOS setup.
2. In BIOS setup, make the DVD Drive the first-starting device.
3. Save and exit BIOS setup.
4. Now the computer continues the restart. Look at the screen. When a message appears, you have only a few seconds to hit any key on the keyboard in orter to start the computer from the disk.
5. From there, Windows setup will continue.

try to uninstall the driver and install it again if it will not solove your problem then attach some pics of the device manager will guide you more that what you will do with it

1. Go to control panel

There are 2 of them, depending on what exact model you have - get them both, only the correct one will be used.

Switch ON the PC, boot the PC in 'Safe Mode' by continuously tapping F8 button after you switch On.

Let windows boot in Safe Mode and log in to windows.

Go to 'Start'--->Programs--->Accessories--->System Tools--->System Restore

Here you will have to check "Restore computer to an earlier time' and click Next
Now you will find one Month Calendar window with Dates below, go to the previous month by clicking the '<' sign in the upper left hand corner of the Month Calendar and select any date that you see in Bold.

The detail of that particular date should show "System Checkpoint" and time on the right hand side box. Select that date.

Now, Click on Next and System Restore will start and windows will take a reboot.

After reboot your problem should be resolved.

Hi Kathy,

CCFL (Cold Cathode Florecent Lamp), which is the back light OR the Inverter board, which provides high voltage to the CCFL may be failing. These parts are inside the LCD Display of the laptop.

So, my advice is that you seek professional help from any authorized repair/ service professional to avoid any further damage to the laptop.

Hope it helps! Good Luck!

You can move MY DOCUMENTS to that drive.

1. Click on the Start button and then right-click on My Documents and select Properties. If there's no My Documents in your start menu then right click on the My Documents icon on your desktop instead.
2. When you've clicked on properties, select "Move" and then navigate to your D: drive.
   
3. Select the drive letter and then click "Make New Folder." Enter "My Documents" as the folder name and hit Enter and then OK.
   
4. Windows will then ask you whether you want to move your documents; click Yes.
5. Moving your documents make take some time. Once moved, though, you can access them normally from the "My Documents" icon on the desktop or elsewhere.
6. In the process you'll free up a lot of room on your C: drive. Defrag the drive so it can be utilized by Windows in the most effective manner.

Contact your manufacturer for further assistance.

yes you can but its hard mainly the mouse pad will be your big problem

try updating Audio driver for your computer, you can download driver from your computer manufacturers website

problem with your charger or pin connector

There should be a small hole, about 2mm in diameter which serves as a manual eject mechanism. Poke it with something like a pin.

Hi,
You can try the below option.
1. If the computer is in a domain, reset the domain user is and log into the computer. 2. If not part of a domain, login using any other user id (if exists) and reset the password for your id. 3. No you are the only single user, then reset the password if you've created any password reset disk. 4. If none of the above works, then the only option is to install the operation system once again. This will not affect any applications installed, if you are not formatting the disk before you install. Just install upon the existing OS.
Once logged into OS, then disable the password option from control panel -> users and accounts. So that it wont prompt for a password while logging int next time.

Does the computer have a built-in modem?

Look for a square socket, with 4 (not 8) parallel gold-coloured pins.
If you don't see this socket, there is no built-in modem.
If you do, open the Windows "Device Manager", and look for "unknown" devices, and expand the 'Modem' category. It's possible that the correct software device-drivers for the modem have not been installed.
Double-click any "unknown" device, and then click 'Reinstall Drivers', and click 'OK to access the Internet to look for updated drivers'.
