Speakers not detected on Dell XPS 210 with windows 7
hmmmmmmmmmmm sounds like dell has an o/s discrepancy(no duoooooooooooeiiiiiiiillllllll)it's the sound card drivers at faultlook at your device managerstartcontrol panelsystem iconand see who makes that sound card/drivergo to that website and see if they have the w7 versiondon't get your hopes up
XPS 210 with XP Media
Here's something to try. In Device Manager, double-click the unknown device to open its properties. Click the Details tab. In the Property drop-down menu, choose Device Instance ID (or Device Instance Path for Windows Vista/7). You'll see a string of characters in the Value box.
In this string of characters, look for the letters VEN_. The numbers following this are the vender ID. Then look for the letters DEV_. The numbers following this are the device ID.
Go to the PCI Vendor and Device database here:
http://www.pcidatabase.com/
and enter the vendor and device ID for your search. This doesn't always find the right device, but it often does. After you figure out what the device is, you should be able to determine whether you can download the right drivers.
Dell error code 2000-0142
Any error code for a hard drive isn't good, and should be reason to get a new one right away. So long as the drive is still able to be accessed, you have a chance of retrieving your data. There are free utilities to help you 'clone' the data to a new drive, but you may want to ask a tech-minded friend for help if you've never done it before. It sounds like the drive isn't dead yet, but is definitely on its way out. Good luck!

Dell xps 18 freezes up shows moving circles
The best thing to start with is to service the pc. You have to put new thermal compound on your CPU every 3months . See me on facebook Nic fourie on how to service. Your own pc

Disable mic on xps m1730
Right click on the speaker icon in the system tray (bottom right, next to the date/time) and select recording devices. It will give you a list of whatever devices you have on your computer that are designated to record sounds. Choose the on board microphone, right click, and select disable device.

Dell pc makes loud clicking noise like machine gun
Something is jammed in one of the fans ???
(there are at least 2 = one at the back of the power supply = should be easy to see - and one inside on the CPU heatshnk (harder to get to)
Else its likley the Power supply or monitor is 'shorting out' internally ..
If it's just 'ticking' it's likly your hard drive going bad (unless, of course, you happen to have a CD/DVD disc inserted into the CD/DVD reader ...sometimes these 'tick' during power-up as the PC tries to boot from the disc :-) )

Will not power up
I know this post is over a year old, but i feel like chiming in anyway. The motherboard may have suffered from cheap cap syndrome. This happens when the components used to populate the motherboard were poorly made with inferior products. The capacitor's may have swelled up to the point of uselessness. This would give you post errors, or no post, or even no power. This is not to rule out the power supply, but it is more likely the motherboard.
To test the power supply, unplug the big 20+ pin plug from the power supply to the motherboard, and use a conductor such as a paperclip to connect the one and only green wire in the mix to any black wire (there is a black wire on either side of the green one, you can use both)
If the power supply is still good, the fans and drives will come on and spin up when you make this jump with the paperclip.
If for some reason you notice the fans twitching but not spinning, then you know the power supply IS bad!

A cd is stuck in my lap top the tray will come out but the cd will not
With the tray open, visually inspect to ensure the cd is still in line with the spindle. Something long and thin (such as a thin knife or spatula) slide it between the top of the drive and the top of the cd.
Carefully tip the tool down to try and release the CD from the spindle. Do not attempt to force it! If it is not jammed in the drive, the CD should drop free. Carefully pull the CD out of the drive.
Look at the CD to see if it has been damaged from the drive. If the CD will not come out, it needs to be take to a repair service.

How do I get 2 FB accounts on Google
I suggest you use two different browsers. For example use two of Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox under Windows; or Safari and Firefox under Mac OS X.
Use one browser to open your own FB account, and a different browser to open your wife's FB account. Once you have entered your username and password in each browser for the respective FB account, and don't delete cookies, each browser will remember your respective account.
To easily access FB when you open your browser, add the FB site to your Favorites or Bookmarks bar.
