Hi, It is unfortunate that the computer is not being charged. You may want to try following the below steps which might help:

(1)Try using a known good AC Adaptor and check if the same issue happens. (2)Try wiggling the AC Adaptor cord to see if that makes a difference. (3)Check if the AC Adaptor is getting detected (Like a 60W or 90W) in BIOS (F2 at startup). (4)Hover the mouse over the Battery on the status bar and see if there is any error message like Not connected or Plugged in not charging, etc appears. Thanks and Regards.

DO NOT use "fix my pc" or other sites. I could write a book in answer... But this site seems to do a good job http://www.howtogeek.com/107280/the-best-tips-for-speeding-up-your-windows-pc/ Essentially, you need to clean up the PC of unused programs, temp files and malware. The malware (advertising bots and tracking software [tracking you]) is probably the worst, but if your hard drive is more than 80% full, that alone can slow you down bigtime. Good luck.

Device drivers are commonly the issues we run into on the PC itself. Just when all is right where you want it, down comes the issue. I got tired of this every time I format someones system. I found that Regtool helped solve all my driver issues. Give it a try. Hope this advice helps all.

go to support.dell.com enter your 'Service tag'

you will be taken to a page with the relevant drivers for your laptop

you need the chipset drivers

This is a how to do it for the 2100, it should be similar to your model:

There are a number of reasons that the unit could be freezing up.

1. Corrupted file(s)
2. Low available disk space
3. Viruses and/or malware
4. Too many add-ons/toolbars/etc.
5. Heat build-up

Number one is the hardest to find. So start with #2. The computer needs free hard drive space to operate. If the disk is nearly full or is very fragmented, this can slow the machine to a crawl. Check for available space and if there is plenty (20GB or more), then check for fragmentation under administrative tools. If the defragmentation tool recommends optimization, allow it to perform it and see if that helps. For viruses and possible malware, run your virus scanner. It is always a good idea to get a second opinion on such things. Malwarebytes is a free malware scanner that works very well to find adware and some things that many antivirus programs fail to detect. Many user feel that they have to have every bell and whistle. I've seen some browsers with 7-10 different toolbar add-ons. These almost always come with some adware and always slow down the browser. Uninstall all but the most essential toolbars for the best performance. Heat is a slayer of machines. Laptops are very susceptible to heat issue since they are often placed on beds, sofas, carpets, and yes, even laptop. Many of these units draw cooling air from the bottom and exhaust it to the side. Even those that draw air from the rear and exhaust to the side will often intake large amounts of dust, grit, and lint. These can partially or completely clog the heat sink unit and cause heat buildup of the processor. This will cause the processor to work slower and can actually cause it to thermally lockup, resulting in the need to reboot. Many units can be accessed to clean with a removable cover on the bottom; others may need to be serviced by a technician to clean.

BIOS admin or windows login/ we can not see your screen sorry can not. sounds like windows log in screens. to me. so reload the OS using he recovery key in your free manual at dell.com

NO if you do, a noob will blow it to kingdom come. as in letting the smoke out. the power-pack does 3 things it has the correct DC voltage and wattages and #2 prevents fire when the PC fails and things short inside. and prevents huge damaging surges landing inside the PC buy used power pack off fleabay and win. i bet I'd mow one lawn and and buy one
