Unresponsive Touchpad
The cursor jumps around when using the touchpad and the two buttons are not responsive or are only responsive in certain places..
Touchpad is turned off
On occasion, the touchpad can be accidentally turned off. Pressing the F6 key will toggle the touchpad on and off. If this does not work, the F6 key itself may be faulty.
Driver is not installed
If for some reason your touchpad driver is not installed, install it using this link http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/1...
Hard drive ribbon touching the touchpad
Turn the laptop off, unplug it and remove the battery to be safe.
Flip the laptop over and locate the removable panel in the bottom right. There is one screw in the very bottom right corner to remove. It doesn't come all the way out of the plastic. Once it doesn't seem to be unscrewing anymore, use it to pull the plastic up and unhook the whole panel. You may need to use something to help you pry it up..
Once the panel is off you will see the hard drive. There are 4 screws holding it in. Remove these and set them aside.
Slide the drive and its enclosure to the right in order to disconnect it, then lift the enclosure out.
Now you should see what is causing the issue: The hard drive ribbon cable is hanging right above the trackpad. If you peer in there with a flashlight you can see a black square in the center of the trackpad that the ribbon is practically touching.
Move the ribbon off to the side and tape it in place.
Slide the drive back into the connector, put the 4 screws back, and reattach the panel.

Failure to Charge
Your laptop does not charge or shuts down when plugged into a power source.
Unresponsive Power Source
If the laptop is connected to a power source (i.e. a wall outlet, power strip etc.) make sure the power source itself is working properly. It may be damaged or turned off. Test this by connecting your laptop to multiple power sources, or other electronics to the same source, to insure that it is reliable
Damaged Power Cord
Examine your laptop’s power cord. If the cord is secure within a reliable power source, failure to charge the laptop could be a sign of a broken or damaged charger. Ensure that the plugin is not distorted or bent and the cord’s wire are not frayed. Also examine the jack itself. The plugin to the jack may be distorted, so make sure it is fully plugged in. If the problem persists, the jack itself may be faulty.
Faulty Battery
Test audio through the computer speakers, then test it using headphones. If the audio is only distorted while listening via headphones, the audio jack or the headphones themselves may be faulty. Audio that cuts in and out is often a sign of a loose audio jack, so make sure the audio jack is fully inserted in the computer.

Laptop starts feeling hot, and shuts down

Fan is not able to run efficiently
Is your fan completely obstacle free? Try moving the laptop to a hard flat surface, or pushing anything around it out of the way. If this does not work, you may have a bigger problem with your fan.
