It was time for a fresh instal of XP Pro so I backed everything up and wiped it out. It's running as good as new, however the battery won't charge now. It's a fairly new battery and prior to reinstalling it charged and worked just fine. Is this possibly a driver problem? I am pretty certain it is not a hardware malfunction. It worked fine and never left the table and went from working prior to, to not working after the reinstall.... Much thanks in advance.
If the battery is not charging,it can be that the battery itself works properly,but the system doesn't indicate that
the battery is charging. in order to fix this problem,you will need to reinstall the battery management software by
using Device Manager
1.Open Device Manager
Right click on My Computer->select Properties->click Hardware tab->click Device Manager
or if you're using Vista or windows 7,type "device" on the Start menu and select Device Manager
2.Expand the Batteries category
3.Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listing, and select
Uninstall .
WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
4. On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes.
Please let me know if it's works or not and thanks for using fixya

The laptop won’t POST after removing the memory? Sounds like the memory module (s) need to be reseated again. Removing memory will not reset the laptop. If you want to install a clean Windows XP load, you need to boot from the Windows CD and format the hard drive.
Fell free to contact me if you need futher assistance.

SOURCE: AC adapter not recognized--battery will not charge.
there's only 2 possible issue with this problem and 2 solution.
Solution 1 update the BIOS.
(for DELL system's it will require that the battery still has at least 10% charge meaning that this solution is not going to be possible unless you have another battery that is currently charged. if so go here ) the BIOS version there is A16, if you have a different version you can update it.
Solution 2 replace the motherboard
if the problem still persist after going thru solution 1 there's only one step you need to take, you'll have to replace the motherboard for this type of problem. I hope you still have warranty for this computer, you can either have it shipped at the DEPOT or have an onsite come out to replace it.
hope that helps.
hit me back on the results.

You installed the driver for your card reader for the laptop. If its not recognizing any cards you put in there then that means the reader is bad and since that is integrated onto the motherboard, replacing the motherboard would be the only option in order to fix that problem.
Hi,
According to your problem, this may occurs for either the
battery of your laptop or the charger is faulty. First check electric outlet where
you have plugged your laptop charger is OK. Then check the power cord. If
everything OK then you have to change the battery.
