What do you mean not working? What is it not doing?

When you plug in the power cord is there any lightswhatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of thepower cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, butthe screen is not showing for some reason.

Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with thelaptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issuewhen you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous.

Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoeverwhen you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you wasoperating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cordis bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the powercord is bad.

Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove theBattery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the batteryout) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can putthe battery back in and let it charge.

The speakers wont work when i plug them into the computer so what do i do ?

Try connecting the speakers to another computer, to see if they work at all.

Try connecting a different set of speakers to your computer, to see if your computer is creating sound (not "muted" ???).

For k_akima The camera operates normally on my work computer and at one time worked fine on my home computer. Something must have changed on the home computer.

Try to go on control panel >> system >> hardware tab >> Hardware manager button (or something like this) then uninstall the web cam. Use some kind of Register cleaner (regcleaner for example). install you web cam again. it should work.

A215 speakers are not working....

Connect the speakers to a different computer.
If they still don't work, responsibly recycle them, and buy some new speakers. But, before you do, try the speakers from the different computer in your computer. If they don't work, then it's a problem with your computer, not with your speakers.

Mouse and keyboard not recognized on second computer

Solution for the mouse. I have 8 KVM's. Most of my computers work with the KVMs. On 1 inland KVM the logitect and Microsoft optical mice do not work on one computer (but work with the other computers). They both are USB. I hook them up with a USB to PS2 adapter. If I use a ps2 ball mouse connected to the KVM the mouse works. All the Mice work if I directly connect them. Since I do not want a ball mouse I got a Frisby optical PS2 mouse. It works with all the computers on the KVM's.

I do not have a solution for the Keyboard yet. 1 computer (ASUS MB) on my trendnet or belkin 4 postion KVM does not recognize the keyboard.
