Try connecting an external monitor to the 15 VGA (video) plug on the laptop and see if it displays properly on the monitor. You may have to direct the video from the laptop to the monitor by holding down the blue <FN> (key next to the space bar) and then press down the <F8> key.If the display on the external monitor is correct, then you either have a problem with the laptop's LED display screen or cable that connects the LED to system board.

Sounds like a bad (ailing) screen - this is one of the common problems with LCD screens in general, and it's too delicate and cost ineffective to be repaired by you and I. Easiest thing would be to replace it. Dell puts its service manuals online - if you're of the DIY type... Best source for these replacements (new or used) would be eBay (around $50).

At first, please check your monitor dimension and your monitor dpi. please set your dpi 16 bit and 60 hz. after doing that but unfortunately you don't get result then i think its your notebook lcd problem. as a result please consult with a professional technician or better if you have warranty then go to your vendor servicing center. thanks

Ouch. So many possibilities here. Did you make a rescue disk at any point? Because you're going to need it.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME - Windows is completely corrupted and the BIOS can't load it.
Just load the default settings in the BIOS and then reinstall Windows using the recovery cd that came with it when you bought it.

The screen needs to be replaced. If you do no have experience doing this, take it to a pro.

Then its broken. You should take it in for repair

i think this is fixable, but just professional teachnician from service center can fix it, you just go to service center, and ask for fix that error

Try installing the latest audio driver.
You can download the drivers from Dell WEB site, thesupport 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 thebottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Taglabel 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 thespecific drivers for your model computer are located. Also make sure you selectthe Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operatingsystem.
