Hey Jaime, Unfortunately, Dell does not have any available schematics for wiring the x230 speakers available. You would have to maybe contact Logitech. Thank You, Dell-Jesse L Dell Social Media and Communities

Do you have the drivers installed? If not install them.

Try Booting is in Safe mode, if that does the trick your probably dealing with driver issues. Please keep me posted if it boots in safe mode ok.

More than Likely your Video card has gone bad, check to see if you have a DVI PCI card already installed if so all you need is a DVI cable.

I think it's the USB port problem.. try unplugging the keyboard plug and plug it to another port.. and you can also try restarting your computer.. if problem still occur, your keyboard probably malfunctioned

then open control panel
add new hardware click yes or next scroll down to network hit next or yes
then first try with automatically detect
then restart pc when it's done
