Hi,
I just recently purchased an Inspiron 8200 (Used and from E-Bay). I had to
change out the hard drive, and put in a Toshiba 30G. I've loaded the OS
(Windows XP Home Edition), and put in the Dell CD that came with the laptop.
My problem and question is that I am unable to get the touchpad or mouse by
the keyboard to work. If I want to use a mouse, I'm using an external PS/2.
I've checked the system BIOS, and verified that the mouse setting was
"Touchpad / PS-2". Another problem that I have is that the PC speaker is
not working either. I can use headphones, but that's it. . . Any thoughts
on fixes? Supposedly all these items worked before the prior HD crashed.
Any ideas that anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
Mike
