Hi all. We've had a Dell Inspirion laptop at home for about a year or so now and are having issues with the charging.
It works fine otherwise, when we have it plugged in it runs off the power chord no probs, but doesn’t charge the battery – even says something on the bottom right task tray on the battery icon like “plugged in but not charging.”
It's happened for months now and to fix it, my fiancee just pulls the battery out, puts it straight back in and it then charges when the cord is in. However this trick now no longer works, so it still works fine when connected to power but it won't charge.
Is this a common problem? (hasn't happened with my Dell) Anyone know of a fix?
