My dell studio 1535 is just about 10months old. All of a sudden when i plug it in, it makes a a beeping sound, says my adapter cannot be determined, plug in a recommended dell 90w adapter bla bla bla, after that, it goes on to show plugged in but not charging on the battery icon. while its plugged in, i can work with my laptop as if its a desktop. i even removed the battery and it still comes up but of course as soon i disconnected the charger, the laptop just shuts down. I want to know if anyone has had a similar problem and how it was resolved. Do i need to change d battery or is it the adapter that is bad? when i entered my bios, it says battery is healthy but lists adapter type as unknown yet d adapter is powering d system without battery. Pls help!!!!!!!!??

Change the charging cord and see if it helps.

Dear bloodred,

Thanks for the above enquiry, could you check underneath your charger and laptop to make
sure both has 90 V written on them. if it is then good. if not get a good charger from your
local shop then test . Most dell charger are usually shipped with Dell logo on them. do you have logo on yours ?

Also check no damages/white stains to the charging port on your laptop as well as the charger, as this might explain
the behaviour. could also be the DC jack is weaken and need re-soldering especially if charger is forcefully removed.

Here's your diagnostics, turn laptop on and keep pressing f2 or delete to get to bios
play round until you found Bios version A00, A02 or similar make note of this and
let the tecs know on your next reply. Dell has released new Bios update A06 which
addresses some known issues. read for yourself

Worth installing new Bios update and see what happen. don't be alarm ! when you disconnect your charger and battery
laptop turns off. that's normal because laptop is receiving power but not to the battery and as a result
it turns off itself. I am 100% certain is a battery problem not the charger itself.

2nd diagnostics let the battery run flat then disconnect charger and battery and hold your laptop
power button down for about 40 seconds discharge statics electricity then pop in the battery and charger for about 45 minutes to
fully charge then disconnect the charger then test to see if will turn off. provided you follow the diagnostics
prescribed you should notice some differences. Take your time and if unsure clarify with us and one of colleagues
we be able to help. Good luck !

ok thanks so much. I will try these suggestions and get back to you all asap. Hope something gives!!
