Built-in Mic won't work with Skype?

All right well.. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. It has a built-in microphone. Last night, I was on skype on the family laptop (which is the same type of laptop) and the mic worked fine. Then I switched to my personal laptop, and got on skype. On my laptop, The mic wouldn't work. However, I know it has something to do with skype because if I webchat on AIM the other person can hear me. Also, if I use an external microphone (headset) then Skype works just fine. Can anyone tell me what's going on and how I can fix it so I can use my built-in mic?
Please be specific. For example, don't say "Adjust the microphone settings" tell me how to adjust them. Anybody who helps me fix it gets 10 points. (Also, I'm pretty sure the mic isn't muted on skype because I checked, but maybe there's a setting or something I missed)

Sometimes Skype lists more than one microphone source in its settings and you have to make sure to choose the correct one.

Go to Skype settings, then to the Audio tab. Under audio input, see what options are available. My laptop has 2, Built-in Microphone Internal Microphone and Built-in Input Line In.

The internal microphone setting is what works for me.
