    #1. I've been having problems with the Webcam drivers. If anyone can give me a link to working webcam drivers it would be appreciated.

    #2. I've had the laptop for a little over a week, but the battery stopped charging to a 100% 3 days ago. Now it won't go past 96%, and the battery charging indicator is always on. Is there a problem with the battery?

    1. Did use Windows Update? It has the drivers for the cam their under software or hardware drivers.

    2. I think its normal, happens on mine too.

    1. Exactly what kind of problems are you having? Did you reinstall XP and now cannot install the drivers for the webcam to work? There is a .bat file in the drivers CD for the webcam folder, just run that one and your cam should work.

    2. Try running the Battery Calibration from BIOS at least once. I am not 100% sure if this would help.

    Try uninstalling webcam drivers through Add/Remove programs and then browse the CD for the drivers and run setup.bat and then run Windows Update to get the latest drivers. As for the battery, I had the same problem and calibrating didn't help much but installing the latest BIOS(1104) fixed it for me,
