I would sugest the first thing to do is reload the driver.

Does the charge led on the laptop come on? If not then check the internal fuse on the charger or a broken wire. A voltmeter will tell you if the charger is producing power. If the led IS working, then the charging circuit on the motherboard is faulty

Anonymous, You will need to contact Dell Support and have them help you reset the bios password. They will need to verify ownership and then will help you resolve the bios pw issue. If you are in the US the number to call is 1-800-624-9896. Thank You, Dell-Jesse L Dell Social Media and Communities

Could the source be on another mode? For example, Its on tuner and not on aux or vise versa

Standard RCA extension cables should work.

Carl Rossetti, You can go into the control panel and click on the touchpad properties. From there click on the device settings tab and click the disable button and apply settings. Thank You, Dell-Jesse L Dell Social Media and Communities

Is this the connector your questioning?

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Classic View
Click System
Click the Properties tab
Click Device Manager
Expand the "audio" branch of the tree.
Do you see an audio-device? Probably not.
Do you see an "Unknown Devices" branch of the tree?
If so, expand that branch, and double-click the "unknown" device.
Click "Reinstall Driver".
If asked whether you want to search the Internet for the software-driver, click "Yes".
Windows will install the drivers for the "audio device".

Someone has set that password. The only way you *might* be able to clear it is to reset the bios by removing the backup battery on the motherboard and/or finding a reset jumper on the motherboard and shorting it temporarily.

Don't try to slow down the speed if you don't know the temperature from your processor or your motherboard. Look on the web for a monitor program to see if one of them is getting real warm Like above 60 degrees Celsius. Then your fan will work as hell. If the computer is a bit older, perhaps the cooling paste, between the processor and the cooling body on the processor is dried. Only use the correct cooling past, and not anything else. Don't allow the processor to heat up above 65 degrees Celsius, because it won't live long after that. If you do have a monitor program, you could slow down the fan, without any risk.
