I have a laptop inspiron 1525 vista. and everytime i turn it on it's always blury and fuzzy red on the screen all over!...why?! someone please help.

You can buy one here http://www.laptopscreenonline.com/dell-inspiron-1525-replacement-screen-laptop-lcd-1239-p.asp for £73.

You can install a generic screen and pick one up on ebay for around £60 but there is known difficulties with switching to a non-dell screen (Issues with brightness) so it is always best to stick to genuine Dell screens.

Hope this helps

Since it sounds like an issue with the Power first try to release flea power.Disconnect the charger,remove battery,press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds.Reconnect the battery and charger.Turn on system and check if it turns on. For further help please check Dell Inspiron 1525 Manual. Also confirm if the light on the charger stays on,when connected to the system.

See if this helps

Hi Richard, yes you can burn DVDs with your laptop. Check the CD/DVD disc that came with your computer. However, I understand its pre-installed either with Roxio or Sonic utilities. On the other hand, if you have Vista and Windows 7 it will do as well.

Please comment if the information provided has been helpful for the improvement of my support assistance. Thank you and regards.

1. ensure drive is recognized by the BIOS (It should be ID'd by model in BIOS
2. If drive is seen normally in bios, then try the fixit utility in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
3. See if you can boot to the drive using your Vista DVD and run a repair my computer from DVD
4. If none of the above works, replace the drive. If system will boot to DVD, then reinstall Vista
