Notebook Battery not Charging
Hello all,
The battery on my Inspiron notebook will not charge for some reason. When I plug in the ac adapter, the laptop uses AC power but doesn't charge the battery. It's weird, every now and then the battery will actually charge. Is the battery basically dead or is there something in the power options that needs to be changed? I got this notebook after their battery recall, so I don't think its a naturally defective battery. I can give any more info if needed. thanks a lot! |

When did you get the laptop? It's probable that the battery is dead, but depending on when you got it and what warranty you have, you may be able to get a replacement battery for free.
