How to repair a Dell Laptop / Battery Charging power problem with a DC adapter.

How I fixed a Dell Laptop that refused to charge the battery and recognize that I was using a genuine Dell DC Power adapter. It took some careful adjustments to the DC jack in the back of the laptop. In addition there is a signal cable that easily gets severed over time in the end of the DC power cable. By making these two repairs, the laptop works perfectly, the power cord stays in firmly, and the battery charges without problem.

Hi, Could you help me please. I was using a broken poorly jointed wires in to the adopter to charge my laptop Dell latitude E6410. The joint was broken and by mistake I jointed it wrongly now battery is not charging at all, even I tried original replicator in which all the laptops are showing charging the battery but in mine one its never charging. Thanks.

@shahmmehmood I think you answered your own question. The problem is not the adapter anymore. Your battery is now dead and that is why it won't charge. If your battery is NiCD and NOT NiMH then you might be able to recover the battery. Look on youtube for "nicd battery fix free" and if that works for you. BUT you must have a NiCD (nickel cadmium battery)

@shahmmehmood so your problem is not your battery in this case then, that is the good news. Now bring your power adapter to your friend's house. I am guessing your AC adapter will NOT charge his battery. If that is true, then you know your AC adapter is the problem, not your laptop.

Thank you for actually explaining the process...instead of adding music to a very bad video like many other youtube memebers.

Absolutely brilliant,...followed your instructions and fixed my power supply. My signal wire had broke further down the cable just before the choke (plastic block by the adaptor),.luckily i had a spare faulty power supply which i unsoldered the lead and re soldered into the working one,..Hey Presto,..fully working XPS M1730 again...Sweet.

@freethrillsdotcom Thaks for the reply. I already purchased a new adopter but still its not charging battery in my laptop while this new adopter even the broken one also charging my laptop battery in my friend's laptop perfectly. I purchased a docking station in this way my laptop works only if battery is inserted in the laptop but its not charging the battery, always yellow light is flashing and message comes connect adopter.

Thank you very much for help and reply. Actually one of my friend has got model Latitude 6400, my battery is working and charging very good in his laptop as well as in my laptop. His battery also working good in my laptop as well. I took my laptop to a shop, the technician started working in a hidden place then returend me in a half hour and said pl bring your laptop in a working condition like charge your battery again in your friend's laptop and display should be working good. So its working

Actually, it's the piece that you are cleaning beginning on or around frame #56 in your video. It's that round piece in the center that the charger plugs into. Once I got down to removing the motherboard, I found that the piece has come completely loose. I don't know if it broke off from the housing that surrounds it, or if it became detached from the motherboard at the point where the 3 prongs touch the board.
