amilo 3438 pcm sound

Greetings to all

I own an amilo 3438 laptop and i managed to break the volume scroll wheel on the side of the laptop. Since then sound is almost mute (i can almost hear it from the laptop speakers). I was lucky to have a good Fedora core instalation on an another partition with preinstalled alsa sound drivers. For a strange reason the alsa drivers totally overide the external volume control and i can tweak the pcm volume. Is there any way to do this on windows xp? I tried opening up the laptop yesterday to try to fix it, but after i unscrewed all the screws i couldn't remove the bottom (was too scared to use force)...

any suggestions? thnx in advance

how about just settle for a small usb sound stick. it comes in many good flavours (5.1,etc ..)

cheers ...

Thnx for the anwser... I was lucky enough to buy a plantronics headset that had a usb dongle for sound IO but it's not the same thing... I contacted the local fujitsu support and they told me i have to pay 150 euros for the whole circuit board that includes the usb ports sound card ethernet etc... anyone know how to fix a potensiometer?

thnx again
