    "No audio output" after laptop repair - ideas?


    I am sorry for posting incomplete information, but I'm trying to help my daughter who is away at college troubleshoot something.

    She has a Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 7. A couple weeks ago the CPU fan broke, and the computer started shutting down after short times due to thermal issues. The computer would work fine, but then shut itself down as the CPU and case heated up.

    She had that fixed - just had the fan replaced - and got the computer back, but now she gets a message - and I am only going by her hearsay; I can't touch the laptop myself because she's at college - saying there is no audio output device.

    My hunch is that in taking the laptop apart and reassembling it to replace the fan, the sound was not reconnected to the MB (if that's even where sound comes from, sorry for the ignorance).

    But wondering about other things to try. I'm considering having her uninstall the audio devices from DM, then rebooting and letting it "find" things again. Still though, guessing something got unplugged.

    Just had her try the headphones and they don't get her audio either - if this datapoint means anything.

Warning, I am NOT a computer person at all, but have spoken to some and tried several repairs.

Hey, guys. I've been having that problem for a while now, but I could always just system restore back to a previous state and my sound comes back. But now, it seems that when I tried to do a system restore, one wasn't available. I've done everything that I've searched on, like...
I'm running a Dell XPS 420, which came with Windows Vista. I decided this morning that I was going to give Windows 7 a try, backed up some media on another PC, and did a completely fresh install. Everything worked perfectly, I didn't even have to install any drivers. My native resolution was...
