IF you have your bill of sale, a good local shop can reset the password but it will still cost you. At least you avoid the shipping and maybe it will be less than $100.

Programs that reset passwords are expensive to buy, IF you can find them. Otherwise, yes, you have to send it back to the manufacture who will do it for around $100 plus shipping.

Try plugging a microphone in the hole does that work?

The Inverter board must be tested and eventually replaced. The inverter is the small board located at the base of display. This is connected to one side to the backlight lamp, to which supplies AC high voltage, and on the other side to motherboard, where receives DC voltage.

Inverter contacts to otherboard and to lamp must be tested , using a multimeter to read volts. The inverter is an AC board, and for safety reason the test must be done by a trained repairer.
If the inverter is OK check the contacts to motherboard and wiring harness to motherboard..

Also ensure that light is not just dimmer because energy save mode is on, or because the laptop is running on batteries.

This is because of the Operating System XP as there are no drivers for the inbuilt speakers.Install Operating System Vista and im sure it will work after that.

If the laptop was opened up, (ALL power removed -> AC adapter and battery; PLUS -> anti-static precautions taken!), and the laptop has a power on switch, (under the power on button), that plugs into the motherboard; you can unplug the switch, and touch the motherboard contacts to try to turn the laptop on. (Sorry about the run-on sentence) Jump a wire or similar, across the contacts, and see if the laptop turns on. Could try to be more specific, and detailed, if you had listed more info about the Fujitsu Lifebook. Such as it's Series number and Model Number. Example: Fujitsu Lifebook E8210. In this example E is the Series number, and 8210 is the Model Number. Post back in a Comment. Regards, joecoolvette

Resetting the bios password is very hit and miss. Usually the only way that might work is removing the cmos battery for a period of time (could be 1 minute to 24 hours) There are a lot of passwords on the internet but mostly they are a waste of time and can even damage your pc.You could always try contacting the manufacturer and asking them but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Unplug, remove battery, plug in, reboot. The software should ID the hardware and apply the generic driver. Try here for the Wireless adapter driver: http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/DeskUpdateLink.asp?SoftwareGUID=CB18BE72-A5E5-42D4-98DB-4700CA3C4C3E&Prod=LIFEBOOK%20S7220&Produktdetail= Open the Device Manager, select Network Adapters, is the Wireless adapter listed, enabled?

Thanks for being as precise in your description ;)did you make any recent hardware or software changes on your computer prior to this issue?

Youshould try uninstalling the driver from device manager:

a. Click on start button. b. In the search box type devmgmt.msc and then press enter.c. Now locate webcam > right-click on it > select Uninstall.d. Install the latest drivers and check.

can't seem to get to the link on fujitsu's support sitehttp://www.pc-ap.fujitsu.com/support/but hope you find the driver you need or have it may beYou could also try downloading 'manycam' from manycam.com and direct your primary video capture device to itThis may work by bypassing some faults but sounds like you'll need a working driver.good luck

If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.
