Dell Latitude E6400 Laptop Computer PC Desktop - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
After playing game for 10 mins or so.... screen just goes black .help
Bonnie Halsall,
If the screen is going dark after 10 minutes of gaming then something is overheating.It is probably the video card. The latitude series computers were not designed for gaming. They are a business line of computers with basic intel video.
Thank You,

How can i get my webcam on my pc
It is possible that you don't have one; webcam is an optional feature on that model.
I suggest downloading some free webcam software and seeing if it lists a webcam as one of the possible sources; if it does, then it should be a simple matter to track down where it is viewing from.

Key board is either bad or the cable has come loose on the mother board either way i would take out the keyboard and check if its in fact a loose data ribbon if not the key board for the e 6400 is pretty cheap maybe 10 to 12 bucks.... here are instructions on how to remove the keyboard.

How to make it run faster
If your computer has less than 1Gb RAM then install more RAM will help. If you have a virus program installed, it is most likely is running a scan on your hard disk. It can slow down your computer especially if you have a large hard drive. To make your computer (hard disk) lean and mean, uninstall any programs you do not use. Also you need to maintain your hard disk by running Disk Cleanup this will remove old temp files and old compressed files etc. This will reduce the number of files the virus scanner has to scan. Plus running Defrag. this makes your files contiguous so the system can access files off the hard drive quicker because it does not work as hard.. Disk Cleanup and Defrag should be carried out at least once a month. If you have 512Mb of RAM installed then installing more RAM will speed up your computer. After installing your graphics card, you may need to disable the built-in graphics card in the BIOS for the new graphics card to work properly.

Your Dell Latitude E6400 laptop comes with a built-in webcam at the top of the LCD screen. This camera can take still pictures and record video for use with video messaging.

2.Click "Dell Webcam" from the list of options in the window.
3.Click on "Dell Webcam Center" and the program will open. A capture window will appear on screen. Beneath the capture window will be a control panel.
