There is no volume. XP does not recognize a sound card. I am not sure if the laptop has a sound card. I never opened up a laptop case. So I prefer not to open the case unless I have to. I bought an external sound card and XP doest recognize it. My PC recognized the sound card. I connected a USB mice and an IPod and XP didn't recognize it either. So there is a problem with USB port. According to ITunes, the previous owner connected their IPod 2 months ago. So the UBS port was working 2 months ago. Any ideas? Will an internal sound card fix the problem? I already updated the chipset. And uninstalled all the devices under USB System controller in Device Manager. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/black-laptop-screen#post-612 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 16:41:02 +0000 txking99 612@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>my laptop screen went black, how do I fix </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/fan-is-noisy#post-473 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:07:55 +0000 Shyla 473@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>My fan has been kicking on a lot more often than it use to.

In the house where I visited, they had a TV. I would like to share the videos but the laptop screen is too small that many couldn't see the video anymore. I would like to connect it to the TV so that we could have 2 screens at the same time. </p> <p>But the problem is I don't know how. There is an AV receiver on the TV. What connectors do I need? </p>
