Inspiron N7010 Processor Issues

I have an Inspiron N7010 and its been running slow for a few years. I ended up buying a new laptop. I wanted to get this up and running for my daughter for High School. 

I noticed the Task manager showed 1 Socket, 1 Core, 1 logical Processor. 

This is a Duel Core Processor with HT. 

 

Can anybody tell me how to enable the other core?

Ive been in the BIOS and it doesn't indicate a second core.

I've gone to the advanced Tab and Turbo and all the settings are enabled. 

The only thing disabled is USB wake. 

 

MSCONFIG only shows 1 Processor under Advanced Boot. 

 

Is it possible the Processor is damaged?

 

Thanks for any assistance.
