Your computer is 6 yrs. old. It was time it bit the dust.

FYI... It's time to back up all your data. one mishap and all your music, pics, & work are gone.
Dell's back then were pure crap. In the last 3 yrs. they have really picked up their quality.

I don't have ANYTHING on here. I just surf the net. But thanks forthe advice because in the future I'll need to. And I didn't know Dell was like that. Some of their new stuff is really nice.

it's really what "line" of models you buy from
for instance, all my Dell laptops have been from the Latitude line and i've never had a problem. Hell, i'm still using a C400 from '01 as a"netbook" of sorts (20gb HDD, 1.2 ghz p3m, 1gb RAM, a/b/g)
while i see crappy nasty Inspirons all the time, and them breaking down on people.
the difference is like night and day.

OK its working now. I don't know if the front lache not being all the way locked down was the problem or what but when it was on the floor it worked andnow that I pushed it back on the desk its working fine. When the problem started it was when the front end was hanging off. Does anybody else have a problemwith not getting the front cover all the way snapped back on?

Also, reseating your RAM sticks usually fixes amber light problems. Just take out the RAM and put it back in.
