Might have to replace your screen, or it might be an issue with your graphics card.

The problem is either the Hard drive has failed and needs replacement or the hard drive is operational but it lost the OS. (Operating System). If the OS is gone, you need to re-install it again..

Go to your Device Drivers and open the listing of devices. Select each line by line and hit UPDATE Drivers. If the drivers are current, it will just say so, if the drivers need to updated, the operating system will update to the new or current drivers for that device. Once that has been done, you should be connecting OK.

it is 2 days old have it serviced or replaced.

Some computers will work with overclocking. It is done in the BIOS HOWEVER....it causes quite a bit of heat in your processor and can destroy your processor. Go into your BIOS and look for overclocking or clock velocity or speed. Keep in mind...if this can be done...you are going to exponentially shorten your laptop life and if you extreme overclock it.... probably lock up or brick your machine. Semper Fi, Z

Just do a "system restore" . If you don't know where it is, just do a search in your programs and files.

try this link it should help.... How to Bypass or Remove BIOS Password Technibble if this fails you'll have to contact Dell who naturally are very strict about handing out reset pass codes and you'll have to prove ownership of your 1525... Hope this helps...

Hi, you were right. There is a hidden partition for recovery purposes when your computer has OEM OS. You can see it by using partition tools such partition wizard home edition and you can download it for free. After you run this program you will see a recovery partition which is hidden from your sight. Hope this will answer your question.

that is either a dead pixel or a failing horizontal filter. it is caused by hardware faults. nothing you can do to prevent it.

Do a complete format and then reinstall your operating system, start from scratch,if you use another password save it somewhere you can find it.
