I am using dell insprion 13Z (5323).. purchased 5 months back. When ever I charge the laptop it gets over heated. I have also used inspiron 1464 and latitude as well. But I haven't come across this sort of problem with them.
View 3 RepliesI bought the Dell Inspiron 5323 a week ago, now it won't start up at all. The power light is on when plugged in but no battery light when I try to boot without, either way nothing's happening.

What if the hard drive is removed?
After upgrading my Inspiron 5232 from windows 8 to 8.1, I'm no long able to launch the mobility center using the quickset key. I could do that before but now, even after downloading and installing the new releases of quickset for w8.1, I can't do it.
The other 2 keys (one for the audio e the ohter one for special functions) are working fine. I can launch mobility center hitting Windows Key + X key at the same time.
If I go to c drive > Program Files > Dell > QuickSet, , I can see quickset.exe and MobilityCenter.exe. If I click on quickset.exe, the mobility center launches just fine; however, clicking on mobilitycenter.exe does not show anything on screen.
I've also tried to change the compatibility settings with no results.
I see in the forum other people reporting issues with the quickset and windows 8.1 using different system. So, it does not seem a isolate problem.
I owned Insipron 14 R since 2.5 years. Now a days I am facing one problem its getting EXTREMELY OVER HEAT and getting instant off within 20 minutes.

-When I plug in the charger.. the battery light turns on for a second then the battery light turns back off.
-When I try to turn on the laptop with the charger plugged in.. nothing happens at all. When I try to turn on the laptop with just the battery without being plugged in.. the power button will light up for a second then go back off.
I've tried: taking out the battery and holding down the power light for 1 minute.. waited 30 seconds tried turning it on with the power chord with no prevail. holding Fn and turning it on and nothing
Some signs I've been seeing: only bad signs i've seen was before it just didn't boot anymore.. maybe twice out of the 6 last time i've booted.. as soon as i typed my password to get into windows it would just shut off. i'd jus reboot and it worked fine. when it stopped turning on.. after messing with plugging it in or not (i didn't know if the battery was dead) i was able to make it past the windows sign on screen.. was going to email myself all my work before it suddenly shut off on me again. the battery had maybe 1/3rd life before it died
I might have interchanged battery chargers with another older dell model laptop.. but i think only a few times at most.. it mostly sits at work on a docking station at work. i have a feeling i never did though. from what i've read it seems like the battery chargers are all compatible as long as it's dell.
My HP 250 laptop is barely 6 months, a few hours ago I shut it down, and just when I tried to power it again it won't come on,the little light close to the charging port that indicates if the laptop is charging won't even blink, I've tried several stuffs like: removing the battery, and connecting the charger directly,I also removed the ram and put it back. Now my laptop isn't charging, with or without the battery, and it won't power on. Its just completely dead, what could be the problem.

ive change the thermal paste of my m1530, before closing the lid up, i forgot to plug in the fan socket, thus leaving my laptop without the fan on. After a while, when i felt the lappy is hot, suddenly i realized i forgot to plug in the fan socket.
however, the damage has been done, according to gpu-z, my gpu temp went up to 93c, and it took 30 minutes for it to increase from 80c to 93c.
My brand new laptop has stopped charging till it's 100% full! It reaches 98% and doesn't charge any further. I am furious, can someone please help me? I didn't touch/change ANY setting, I didn't do anything unusual, it just all of a sudden stopped charging till its maximum.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to charge my battery now? I think my battery is completely dead now. Over the past few months, it's been staying turned on for less and less time without it's chord. Today, it said "battery 100%" "6 min". Usually, I have it charging just by turning the charger chord in some weird positions. I'm not sure if it's faulty wiring or not. I would much rather just buy a new battery than deal with faulty wiring.
Yes, I have been getting the change your battery thing in the start up menu. I have an HP 625, and have had it for over 3 years now. In the past year, I've been having to adjust my wire just so it can charge. It jiggles around a little bit when inside, but the chord/plug itself doesn't seem loose or anything... Today, that didn't work at all. I've been trying for the past several hours to move my chord to the right position just so my laptop can turn on. I usually get it charging in no more than 1 minute, but today was different. Last year, I replaced my charging and it seemed to of made it much easier to charge. However, this is a fairly newish charger and it's my battery at fault this time.
Will my issue be resolved just by getting a new battery? I can probably head over to Best Buy or something. Or maybe buy one online.
If you think I may also have a problem with faulty wiring, what can I do to get it fixed? I feel like it would cost me a lot. Or, do you think will getting a new battery resolve my charging issue?
i was playing Zuma Deluxe, and the lappy just shut down by itself. I felt the HDD section (in front, just under touchpad), and it was blazing hot. painful to touch even. the nearby RAM section was also blazing. im not sure why that is so, coz Zuma is nowhere near the most intensive game in the world, and my lappy should be more than adequate to handle that.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a (long out-of-warranty) X100e of the dual-core model (notorious for running hot), which I have been running Linux on; the issue in question is hardware-related, though...
I've been trying to get an amd64 kernel going, with some issues. So I booted an amd64 kernel with init=/bin/sh, tried getting wireless going, and figured that I needed a different kernel, which I set about compiling...
The laptop reached 92 C and apparently tried to shutdown, but apparently shutdown does not work right if init is not running. So I came back to find it still running, at ~65 C, but with messages to the effect that it had reached 94 C on the screen. I put the fan on full bore, left it running for a while, then turned it off.
Now, here's the problem: When I tried to turn it on (battery in place, plugged in), the green light around the power button just started blinking slowly (about once per second), with the fan intermittently attempting to start (very short bits of an almost whining noise). There was no indication of any signal reaching the display/of the bios starting.
The power light stays green while it is plugged in. Same symptoms when the battery is removed and it is plugged in. With battery only, the power button blinks on when pressed, then turns off. The fan turns on briefly once. Then it turns off. The power light in front blinks on and then turns off
So far, I've tried several variants of "hold down the power button while unplugged with the battery removed." All of that has been to no effect. Looking through the HMM does not indicate anything as far as what might cause this.
I'm having some problems with my charger. When I plug it in and turn the laptop on it says that it couldn't recognize the charger and won't charge, the laptop itself works, however. Sometimes it does charge, but rarely. I'm in a little hurry and didn't search thru the forum. Apologize if this issue was answered before.

I used it to show a video to my mom then closed the lid (I programmed it so that closing the lid will lead to hibernation). When I tried to open it again after a few hours, it won't turn on. Even though I know it wasn't low in battery, I charged it. I then noticed that the light that was supposed to indicate that it was charging was not turned on. This incident happened a few months back but resolved itself after I let my laptop rest for 2 days.
So I have a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 1520, the battery recently went dead. Cant charge and cannot hold a charge. Runs fine with the ac adaptor plugged in without moving it.
However I can not play games on it that I have been able to play before. Is this because I am running solely on the ac adaptor?
My initial thoughts were that I had a battery issue the Ion battery. So I went to dell and purchased a new battery 2 weeks ago. Plugged that guy in and my theory was a bust.
Next, I turned to the ac adapter and decided it must be the problem. Back to dell to drop some more $$$ - just arrived and...well, let's just say I wouldn't be writing to this post if that solved my problem. I have surfed through various other posting will no avail.
The laptop can run fine on just the ac power - just no juice is getting to the battery to recharge it. I went into the BIOS set-up and it stated that it did not recognize the ac adapter -
can't figure why that may be the case, but none of the less I've got nothing but Dell products here - no knock-offs. Any suggestions or theories? I just can't believe I could have a bad motherboard here - the laptop works great otherwise.
I replaced the battery on my laptop when the battery symbol changed to a x next to it. From what I understand it means the battery needs replacing. I had to get a generic battery which was for a 1525.
It charged for awhile, then stopped. When I turn on the laptop I get a message "The ac Adapter and type cannot be determined. The battery may not charge. And so on.
The AC Adapter I use is a Tarus 95watt, which I used before on the original battery.
Should I replace the battery or is there another possible problem, Is there a diagnostic test for the battery system?
My problem is that my daughters 1525 says it is plugged in but not charging. I have tried various Dell and Universal chargers with no change. I have also replaced the battery and the only noticeabl change is that with the new battery by blinking amber lights have stopped. I assume that means the battery was bad. But I still have the issue with it saying it is plugged in but not charging.

I have an old Inspiron 1750. I bought a new Dell battery and I am getting the message plugged in, not charging. I have the original DELL charger. This was not a problem with the old (not DELL) battery, which still charged but only held the charge for 10 minutes.

I love my new Inspiron 17R SE 7720. But I do seem to have some battery issues...
The battery simply never seems to charge to 100%. It charges to just 55-60% or so and never seems to get any higher. I've tried all the various power settings, including the various Dell special setting. Nothing seems to work.
It will be tomorrow before I can run the diagnostics I found in the support pages. But I'd like to make sure I'm not just missing something. Should it be charging when it's powered down but plugged in? I would think so, but still goes no higher than ~57%.
This 1200 was working several weeks ago, now it will not turn on even with AC adapter plugged in. Battery will not charge.
No green LED lit on laptop front. Unit will not boot with AC adapter attached and battery removed.
Checked AC adapter with multimeter and it appears working OK, get 19.5 volts dc output.
I have had this laptop for 2 years and after the first year I had to replace both battery and adapter.
The first generic adapter I got was fine until the cable split (my fault as I was wrapping the cord around the brick).
I got the second generic from the same place I got the first.
I bought the new one last month and since then I have sporadically received a message that the adapter wasn't OEM and that it wouldn't charge the battery.
It would get back to charging after a reboot or stand by.
Now I have tried everything but it won't get back to charging the battery.
I did a search here and found others with the same problem (different dell laptops) solving the issue by flashing the bios.
Can anybody point me to the correct file I should download for my laptop as well as explain what should be done to flash the bios
