I have the same problem - Best Buy does not give back-up discs,..but will allow you to purchase them (not cheap). I was used to them coming with my computers.

Real easy solution please note when your laptop is open there is a little white plastic stem type switch (micro-switch). This switch controls the back light, when the computer screen is lifted into the operation view (user view) the switch provides power to the screen. Easy fix as long as the back light works just SOFTLY push the white stem down several times. This should clean off the dust which probably got under the micro-switch.If this doesn't work then your back light needs to be replaced!

This may be an overheating issue. When a computer gets hot it has a fail safe to shut off to protect the system from perminate damage.

Here are two views on how to create computer administrators and administration rights

WHEN LOG IN SCREEN WILL APPER THAT TIME JUST PRESS CTRL+ALT+DEL THREE TIMES LOGIN PAGE WILL CHANGE PUT THERE

administrator and press enter if any password you put during installation of xp put that password do log in and then go to user accounts which is in control panel from there change the user rights which you want to or

right click to my computer and go to manage and then users from there also you can set rights

Here we go just press this keys ctrl+Alt+Del it will bring you a new logging dialogue box. type the user name as administrator and leave the password blank.

press enter and there you go. that means you will log into your computer as local administrator. from there go to your control panel, click on user accounts, change my account type,

from the next stage choose administrator, click change account type

hope this helps you

Restart your computer now as soon as you hit the power button keep on holding Alt key & keep on tapping F10 key Alt+F10 it will open the recovery console select full factory restore and follow on screen instruction

(Note:this will erase all datas on the computer)

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS using the arrow keys you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart

hope this helps you

Did you have a look in the Device Manager? Is there any unknown device or Other device listed?
Possibly you need special drivers for your sound card if XP does not support the sound card directly.

Other XP sound troubleshooting steps can help as well.

When the CPU overheats then it will shutdown (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down.If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes this problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are cloggedwith dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan. If the fan and heat sink is clogged withdust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use acan of compressed air to do this.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. If you want to upgrade the memory or RAM of your laptop you can refer on the specs below. The Maximum RAM that you can install on the computer is 2048MB DDR SDRAM (2 x 1024MB) or 2GB DDR SDRAM (2pcs 1GB) because you only have 2 memory slot on the computer. It uses PC2700 or DDR 333MHz

If you have questions please let me know. Thanks for using Fixya.

There is likely a solution for your model already; if you search google. The ubuntu forums or irc help channel people can help you if you give them more information.

Ifthe laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be wornout. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cyclesand will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up atall. ORThe battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected thebattery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. Ifthe battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to bereplaced.

You need to re-install the Operating system to resolve this issue, all you need is an installation OS CD to perform this task.

Thanks,
Satheesh
