PS/2? Or one for a Play Station 2? I don't think they even make the old type PS/2 cable keyboards anymore, its all usb.

The easiest way to do it is take the screen out, input the model number of the screen into ebay, amazon to see where you can get it the cheapest/fastest. I usually order mine from laptopscreens.com. I've replaced a few of my clients screens over the years.

The external monitor won't work without the laptop being inside windows. I would just suggest replacing the screen, fairly cheap and somewhat easy to replace depending on model. How old is this laptop?

Sorry but we don't allow new members to sell in our forum without first having some requirements which the very first one is having at least 100 posts here at the forum. Here are the rules for the for sale section...

They do make keyboards with usb hubs, not sure I would buy them though. Still simpler just to buy a powered hub...

Make sure power and data cables are attached securely to the SSD. Try a different SATA connector from the power supply or even a new sata cable. I haven't seen a 128 gb SSD in quite some time. That must be getting quite old at this point.

Yeah, its called a powered usb hub. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=powered+usb+hub&crid=2VXFN9VGJ2VM7&sprefix=powered+usb+hub%2Caps%2C109&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Even though the the OS is installed on the ssd, it's possible the boot files are on the mechanical hard drive. You will have to boot to a test utility to scan both drives if you think it's only testing the hdd.

It will work. The motherboard officially only supports up to 3200mhz with an 11th gen cpu so you'll need to enable XMP setting in bios to utilize the 4000mhz.

You didn't tell if mouse and keyboard worked in the bios. If it doesn't then its probably time for a new computer. This computer is about 18 years old at this point, they don't last forever.

Yes, windows 8 machines would have automatically upgraded to windows 10 at a certain point. The problems you have at the moment are the following. 1. 10 years old at this point 2. It's a dual core cpu 3. 4 gb of ram 4. a slow mechanical hard drive 5. Too old to be upgraded to windows 11...

Does the keyboard and mouse work in the bios? If not then it's an old system and it probably crapped out finally.

According to the service code, it has a pentium dual core. This machine is basically worth nothing. You would have to spend money on Sata SSD and more ram to make this even usueable for windows 10 and it goes out date October 2025. So you most likely just need to E-recyle it.

You mean an all in one? You can go into system properties and it will tell you what's in it. Do you have the service tag number or express service code? You can enter either of those numbers on the dell support website and get a list of original specs. But if it came with windows 8 on it...

Unless it actually booted into windows when it was in the other system, it shouldn't have done anything to it to make it not boot when back in the orginal machine. Check your bios to make sure its set for first boot device. also make sure you reconnected power and data cables.

Would probably get 16gb total ram at this point.

Can you post a screenshot of when this message pops up? I don't think you should be getting that message unless there is a wrong setting in the bios. This laptop is only a few years old right? Shouldn't need to install sata drivers. What kind of drive are you install it to? SSD or just SATA...

The power button has no play on what psu you can use. Any standard ATX psu should work fine for that.

XP ended in 2014 and as of this year still .6 percent of all computers still run XP. So technically no but if you want to be secure and up to date then yes. What are your system specs? You may be able to upgrade to 11 for free providing you have decent specs.
