"The CD drive and sound card do not work."

I'm not worried about the cd drive... but with the soundcard, would I have to buy a whole new mobo? Or are there add-on sound cards for laptops?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102185 I found this but it looks the same as the wireless cards which the guy is selling with it. Is there more than one slot? I've never owned a laptop before so I honestly have never seen the inside on one haha.

where did u get the lappy from?

you might be able to buy a USB sound device so you don't even have to unscrew anything? can anyone back me up or am i totally rong?

Nope, you're right. There are USB sound cards, albeit not a lot of them. Newegg has 17 models for sale, starting at $22 (USD) plus shipping. Heck, you can get a Turtle Beach for $20 after MIR ($25 before).

I found the deal on craigslist.

Well after a little over 2 hours of driving ( hour and 20 minutes in stop&inching traffic) I got a beautiful new laptop with a wireless adapter!

EDIT:: I just found a new cd drive for 25 bucks shipped... Once that gets here, I have a brand new unopened Dell XP pro SP2 disk waiting for it I am stoked.
