My laptop's battery wont charge.?

Before spending money on a new Dell battery or charger, try following simple fixes to see if the problem goes away.

Remove the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord from your Dell laptop, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the laptop. This clears your RAM and is like a hardware reset. Replace the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord and turn your Dell laptop on.

If the problem persists, did you check if it could be your Dell laptop power cord or power source problem? Defective or insufficient power supply might cause error messages that are misleading. Take the battery out and power on your laptop with the charger only. Make sure your laptop power jack and charger plug tip are securely connected. Did you notice the power jack loose? You can find laptop power jack on ebay. Fixing and soldering the power jack requires professional skill though. Also the charger green/blue LED should be on. If not, replace the defective charger. Dell battery charger lifespan is limited and does not last forever, consider buying a lifetime warranty charger online from company like www.topmic.com

do not waste time if the battery used over 2 years.

otherwise try calibrating the battery
