Dell :: 1520 Cant Charge And Cannot Hold A Charge
May 21, 2010So 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?
Dell :: Cannot Charge My Mini 9...
Sep 28, 2009I received a new in box (sealed) Dell Mini 9 as part of a promotion. I get home and plug the beast in to find that it does not charge the battery at all,
I have tried reseating the battery but to no avail. Also if I plug the computer in a certain way it does not power on, I have to remove the plug and then plug it back in.
So to recap, the battery does not charge, the light does not come on and sometimes I have to plug the power plug in several times to get it to turn on.
Before I call Dell support should I mention anything about receiving this Mini 9 for free or does it not matter?
According to the website I have around 187 days left on the 1 year warranty.
Dell :: 1525 Battery Won't Charge
Mar 10, 2010I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. The 6-cell battery that came with it stopped holding its charge, so I bought a new 9-cell battery. Now that one won't hold a charge. I figured it must be the cord, so I bought a new one. It still won't hold a charge. When I run my mouse over the battery icon, it says XX% (currently 37%) available (plugged in, not charging). I know just enough about computers to be dangerous, but not enough to figure out what is wrong. Can anyone help me trouble shoot?

Sep 22, 2008I'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.

Jul 12, 2009I opened my laptop to clean it using the manual on Dell website and when I got it back together it doesn't want to charge. When I plug it in the light on the charger goes off and a squeaky sound can be heard from the charger.
My friend has Vostro 1510 and mine and his chargers work with his laptop, but not with mine. So anytime I plug his or mine chargers the light on it just goes off and then it has to be unplugged and plugged again in the socket to restart it.
I believe there is some sort of protection in the charger, other than the fuse. Without the battery the laptop does not work

Dell :: M1330: Brand New MB, Now Won't Charge
Jun 1, 2009Dell tech came out to replace my motherboard for the second time in 12 months earlier this week and left the wrong ac adapter (didnt notice until after well after he left).
So dell shipped me another ac brick which arrived today, but the laptop still isnt recognizing it. The battery is completely dead now, but before it went down I checked in BIOS and it was showing no AC adapter there either. It's getting power from the wall (green light is on) but I dont have a multimeter handy to check the voltage from the brick to the computer.
The light doesnt go out when I plug it into the computer like it did when the MB died. What are the chances it's a faulty adapter or do I have another problem? Anybody else had this happen? I'm getting really frustrated with this machine. TIA guys.
Dell :: To Charge For US-based Support
Dec 14, 2008I never thought I'd be writing this, but Dell (yes, Dell), is charging customers a monthly fee to have access to its United States-based customer service representatives.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the PC maker is charging customers with a Dell account $12.95 per month to have access to an American agent or $99 per year for customers who buy a new PC from the company.
Those who don't pay the sum will be contacting center agents in India or the Philippines. But before you start your bellyaching, Dell is sweetening the pot: wait times are guaranteed to be 2 or fewer minutes!
I think this only pertains to the Dell Home systems.
Correction: They will provide this option for all Dell Home computers including XPS. If your curious the option is under services and the "Your Tech Team" option.
Dell Venue 11 :: Won't Charge / Turn-On
Dec 31, 2013I purchased a Dell Venue 11 on 12/24/13 and received it this past Saturday, the 28th. I ordered the $499 version. I was very satisfied with the item and found it comparable to the Windows Surface 2 Pro. I took my time to install all my apps that I needed and to adjust my security settings so that I could log in remotely to my work servers.
Yesterday while I was doing work on my tablet, I noticed my battery was low. So I plugged it in and continued to work. However, the tablet turned off on me about 15 minutes later. I thought maybe it didn't charge as fast as it pulls energy. So I plugged it in to charge while it was off for almost 3 hours. It still would not turn back on. I was using the Dell charger that came with the tablet. I tested the charge with other items that take the mini USB port and it charged them, fine.
In addition to my tablet being a brick, I also ordered the Mobile Keyboard with it. I received an email stating that I would not receive the keyboard until the end of January because it is'in production'. Very bothersome because had I known this, I wouldn't have even bothered purchasing this item from Dell, altogether.
Dell Inspiron 14z :: Won't Turn On And Charge
Dec 30, 2014My Dell Inspiron 14z (Reg Model: P35G, Reg Type no: P35G001, won't turn on and won't even charge.
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.

Dell :: Dissapearing Battery Charge (E6400)
Nov 4, 2009This seems to happen fairly often. Yesterday I had my computer on standby and plugged into the mains for several hours in the afternoon. I turned it on, shut it down (without looking at the battery status) and went somewhere and when I turned it back on the charge was at 6%.
Today I was using the laptop and the charge was at 70%, I shut the computer down and put it in my bag. Turned it on again in a couple of hours and the battery again is at 6%.
Dell :: Inspiron 9300 Battery Will Not Charge
Jan 2, 2009My 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.
Dell :: XPS M1330 Doesn't Charge Awesome
Feb 22, 2009So recently just sent my 1330 to get the mobo replaced for the first time after owning if for several months, got it back and had already ordered the copper shim for the now famous "copper mod".
So all is going well, slowly I start to notice that while plugged in the laptop slows down - to the point of a 20 minute boot up. Unplug it and run off battery and it instantly speeds up. After speaking to Dell they've concluded I need yet another mother board (having just got this one back a month or so ago.)
Anyone else having a similar issue? A tech is swapping it in the first half of this week...

Aug 15, 2009I have a problem with my XPS M170 as my battery won't keep a charge. I thought it was a problem with my battery, so I bought a new battery for my laptop and that battery wont keep a charge either.
I can only be on my laptop when I have the power brick plugged into my laptop.
I wonder if it could be the connection where the power plugs into my computer as that connection seems to be slightly loose
Dell :: D600 Interesting - Will Not Charge Battery
Apr 26, 2008I have a very perplexing problem.
First the laptop is a Dell D600
The laptop about one month ago had the power jack smashed (cable was stepped on) someone plugged the cable back in, in doing so the main power pin (surrounding the center pin) was bent over so it now made contact with the (data) pin that tels the laptop what power supply is connected and if it is a genuine Dell.
This in turn shorted out the circuitry in the laptop that can read this 'data' line.
So no matter what power supply I use the laptop will always state that the wrong adapter is connected and will not charge. (strange also is the PCMCIA slot has no power. Everything thing else works.
What I have tried,
Tried my battery in another D600 (charged and ran no problem (my laptop would run from the battery but still no PCMCIA power.
Tried my charger on another D600 worked fine so the data pin is fine on it. Tried another charger on my laptop same problem.
I already fixed the power port.
Last I tried the laptop in a Docking station and same problem (wrong adapter type) This is fed through the bottom of the laptop not the power jack.
So this tells me the problem lies in the logic circuit on the main board.
So...
Is there a simply surface mount fuse that may have blown?
or am I looking at a bad IC.
Dell Inspiron 1525 :: Battery Will Not Charge
Mar 4, 2013I 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?
Dell Inspiron 1525 :: Plugged In But Will Not Charge
Mar 2, 2013My 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.

Jan 29, 2015I have an xps12 that doesn't recognise its adaptor, runs fine on AC but batter is now totally dead. I tried a different Dell 45W adaptor (borrowed) and it charged the battery, I then bought a cheaper 3rd part adaptor - which also worked for a week or so.
Now am back to unrecognised adaptor, no charging. BIOS is version AO8 but even if there is an update I can't install since my battery is on zero. Battery utility (Fn F3) indicates my battery is healthy and performing normally, but charging is disabled and I don't see any obvious way to enable it.
