That would probable be extremely expensive, since they may have to install more than just the camera. If the motherboard or other peripherals are not equipped to take the webcam, they have to be replaced as well. It's far cheaper and easier to just buy an external one. When you get your next laptop, get one with a camera installed.

Unless the webcam is an optional component there is no way to retro fit one, the Motherboard is designed to fit the case, you cannot just hack it about.

Ain't happening! Download your laptop manual from the manufacturer's website and read through it. The printer port is not capable of connecting as a video port and unless your laptop specifically states that it will support two or dual monitors, there is no way in haties that it can be done.

If you are using Windows Vista or higher, you can go to Start>Programs>Accessories>Snipping Tool and it will do what Apple+Shift+4 does on a Mac. If you have MS Office OneNote, you can push Windows+S and it does the same time. If you are using Windows XP or earlier and don't have OneNote, you will need to download one of the many free screen clipping programs such as LightScreen. Go to PortableApps.com and you can get a copy of that program that doesn't require installation.

If you press the "Prnt Scrn" or "Print Screen" button on the top right of your keyboard the screenshot will be copied to your clipboard. Then, open up Paint from the start menu and Paste the screenshot there. Save the files wherever you like.

Use a "print screen" or "Prt Sc" on your keyboard and paste it on your image editor like paint or ACDsee, or photoshop. And save it. If the image is on the net use the browser facility: Right click on the image, and choose "save Image as..." And DONE :) If yo gonna put it on the net you must put the credit.

It depends. Radio Shack should have a wire to connect your laptop to your TV. It comes with instructions, to plug it in to your TV.

It depends on the laptop. Does it have an HDMI output? Does it have a DVI output? Does it have a VGA output? Those are the 3 HD output types that a computer might have. HDMI is the rarest one right now, but it does exist on some computers. If your laptop has HDMI, then just use that. All you need is a simple, cheap, HDMI cable from amazon.com, monoprice.com, bluejeanscable.com, or any local computer store. It will carry both the video and audio over the same cable for you. Don't waste money on an expensive Monster brand one. If your laptop has VGA, then see if the Sony has VGA (many do). You can then just use a VGA cable for the video. If the Sony only has HDMI and the laptop is VGA, then you might need to invest in a VGA to HDMI converter box. For more information on that see here, http://sewelldirect.com/articles/vga-to-hdmi.aspx If your laptop has DVI, then you can use a DVI to HDMI adapter with an HDMI cable, or you can use a DVI to HDMI cable (same difference). These can be found online or in most computer/TV stores. They are fairly common now. Both the VGA and DVI cables are video only though. So you will still need to deal with the audio on its own. If you use the VGA converter box, get one of them which also accepts audio, then you can feed the laptop audio into it and the box will feed both video and audio to the TV. If you use VGA or DVI-HDMI, look at the TV and see what type of audio input it associates with the video connection you are using. VGA will often have PC audio input (looks like headphone jack). DVI-HDMI (and sometimes VGA) will usually have RCA Stereo (red/white). But quite often only 1 HDMI port has that, so you have to look around at all your HDMI ports and see which one has that association (if that's the video type you're going to use). If the TV has a PC audio input then you want a Stereo Mini cable (3.5mm cable/auxiliary cable - think iPod to car stereo). You plug one end into the laptop headphone jack and the other into your computer. Here is an example, http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Mini-Stereo-Cable-for-iPhone/dp/B000T4LFCO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1256574663&sr=1-2 If the TV has a RCA stereo input then you want a Stereo Mini to RCA cable. You still plug the Stereo Mini end into the headphone jack on the laptop. But now you plug the RCA ends into the TV (because that's what they have). Here is an example, http://www.amazon.com/Dayton-3-5RCA-12-3-5mm-Stereo-Cable/dp/B000F7P7EW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1256574711&sr=1-3
