Hey. I've got a Dell Inspiron laptop that's about 2 years old. Recently the sound card has been playing up. First the input connection for speakers didn't work properly. Then the built in speakers gave up too.
Anyway, I got my girlfriend to call Dell Korea to ask about fixing the problem and they quoted her a price of 500,000w! Now I'm not too up to date on prices but this is ridiculous.
Would it be possible to repair it in a local computer store? Cheaper? I know many places don't like working on laptops. I'm in Busan. Any suggestions?

I\'d suggest looking at Dell\'s customer forums -- they often have good information.

Have you checked your driver? Gone back to a restore point?

yeah have done all that. i reckon its a loose connection or something like that. really, i need to know how much i would be charged to get a new sound card installed.
