Help! My DELL Latitude D630 laptop is not charging. It goes off anytime NEPA takes light and when I try to put it back on,it restarts all over again.
What do I do?

When Nepa takes light laptop should remian ON without turning itself off unless you are just running on charger

The reason that being is because laptop has a built in memory cell that stores current so if Nepa

were to take light your laptop will should remain operational. right here is your diags

Pop out the battery, charger and other pheripherals such as printer, speakers etc

make sure nothings is plugged in. This may sound weired but dont be alarm yeah

after everything is out hold your finger down on your laptop power button for 30secs

Doing this will circulate the mother board which is like a car engine and release any static build up

Because the laptop was not shutdown correctly. after 30 sec connet just charge only no battery

turn it back on again then test. if no joy pop battery back in please turn on again and keep pressing

F2 or Delete key until you come to a BIOS SCREEN leave your laptop plugged to mains+battery

as we are verifying if this a hardware or a software problem

Leave it there for 1hr make sure is running through the mains if it keep restarting in a loop withinin an hour

Then you have a faulty laptop if doesn't restart and show sings of stability then is a end user error which is yourself

Having said that would you please check the USB port for any damage/defect as the power cut you had earlier might have caused

surge and damage the usb hence the behaviour. also check your laptop power button is not pushed in

Good luck however
