There are several factors why this situation happens. It could be improper use of the power adapter or because the battery is not being cared correctly. On the other hand, exercising the performance of battery sometimes by draining it completely before charging it again is a good method of prolonging the battery life. If you noticed that the battery is not charging, always check first the power outlet if it is live or not before doing serious investigation.If the wall socket is not the cause of laptop battery charging failure, the following troubleshooting tips might help you.
1. Check if the AC adapter is bad or not. Detach the battery from the laptop and turn on the computer with the power plug connected. If the laptop does not turn on, try using another power adapter to verify if the first one is defective. If the second trial does not work as well, the problem might be the power circuit of the motherboard. Look for a certified computer technician to help you solve the issue.
2. If the computer does turn on, the power adapter is in good condition and not the cause the problem. In this case, try placing another battery that meets the technical specifications of the laptop for proper testing. If the second battery works well, it can be concluded that the first one is defective.
3. Determine if the problem is not caused by a software related issue. If the notebook battery status is not being displayed correctly though software, it can be considered that the software is causing the problem and not really the battery.
4. Power reset the unit by unplugging it and removing the battery. After doing that, hold the power button down for a minute. Then, attach the battery and power adapter, and start the laptop again. This method is being done to ensure that the motherboard is not holding power anymore when the battery went down causing a "hiccup" in the system. This may solve the charging failure of the battery.
5. If the battery stops charging every time the charge indicator reaches 96-98%, the laptop may need to be recalibrated for a new battery. For proper notebook recalibration, the Windows power management should be configured to prevent the system from going into sleep mode or hibernation when the battery reaches the low level. For Windows XP users, navigate to Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options. Set "Power Schemes" to "Always On". Under "Alarms", uncheck "Low battery alarm" and "Critical battery alarm". Under "Hibernate", uncheck "Enable hibernation", and then click on Apply. Doing this procedure, the laptop battery can now be drained fully until the computer system shuts off. Then, put the adapter back into the power jack and let it charge completely. Sometimes the cycle must be repeated 2-3 times before it actually reaches the 100% full charge. The charging process should last at least around 14 hours.

check that it is compatible with ur motherboard or not.if it is then check out for it's driver.

Install The driver properly, Go to My computer, then Manage,then device manager, and in that see the sound & gaming device status, you can get drivers from support.dell.com. You have also not mentioned about the is the sound comming in internal speaker????????? Check with head phone..................

you need to search if the driver is instaled,if not go to dell.com and download the driver and this should resolve your problem.

First off, if you have a floppy disk drive, make certain that there is no disk in the drive. If not, then do the same for a CD or DVD drive. Make sure they are also empty.
If all are empty, and you still get this message, then it is a safe bet that your hard disk has failed. It is possible that the disk controller failed, though, so if you can find a way to try that hard disk in a different computer, do so. If it works, then it is your disk controller, and that is usually on the motherboard.
But you can buy a disk controller that will fit into an expansion slot on the mother board, and allow you to override the original one. That being said, follow all instructions, and see if you can then get the computer to boot with the original hard disk.
Good luck,

Yea Dell likes to package trial versions of antivirus that start to nag you after a month or two of using them for free. Basically you will need to uninstall it and purchase a new antivirus

I think what your laptop is doing is trying to run scandisk. When your system stops unexpectedly like that it will often run a scan of your hard drive to make sure there are no problem and it usually does that in the background and you can't see it. I'd say ride it out and let it take a while to boot. If it does boot and continues to run slow then click on "Start" and then "Run" and type in "cmd" and hit enter. It will open a command window. In that window type chkdsk /f {enter} and let it check your hard drive for errors.

Go to Start >Control Panel > Display or Personalization (XP vs Vista)
Display Settings.

Adjust the resolution... The bigger the numbers are ie. 1440x900, the smaller the font and icons, the larger the resolution ie 800x600, the bigger everything gets and fills the screen back up.

Try several settings... Windows will give you 15 secs to make up your mind or revert. You'll find a happy medium doing this.

Have you tried adjusting the screen resolution? If you are running windows, try right-clicking on the desktop, then going to properties>settings>screen resolution. Set it to maximum available (I think it's 1024x768 on your inspiron). This should sort it out.

Good luck,

on your laptop press the keys fn and f8 at the same time then you should your image!
