My laptop will not power on even though it is charged. It is a Dell Inspirion 1545. How can I fix this?

The battery is fully charged and the charger is in good condition with no shorts. I have had the laptop for a few years and have not had a problem with it before.

SOURCE: Dell Inspirion 1526 Laptop Battery is not charging

Sound like the battery. Take the battery out and there should be a power meter on it, press it, if there are three lights that flash, the battery is shot. Not all batteries will flash if they are worn out, but they are supposed to. Try a new battery, I believe this will coorect the issue.

SOURCE: Dell Inspiron 1545 power adapter not charging machine

Just call Dell, don't take it back to Best Buy or anything (that's where I got my Inspiron 1565). They will put you through a couple troubleshooting items and decide whether it's the AC adapter went bad or if they have to replace your motherboard. It's all free since they have a 1yr hardware warranty.

Hello anourkhader

When was the last time you used it, and were there any problems? To find the solution to this problem is a matter of elimination. You should check the following:

Step 1 - Power

- Try an alternative power adapter
- Try plugging in your laptop to an alternative power supply

WARNING - BEFORE PROCEEDING, PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

1. REMOVE THE POWER ADAPTER FROM YOUR LAPTOP
2. REMOVE ALL PERIPHERALS
3. WEAR A WRIST-GROUNDING STRAP, AND CONNECT IT TO AN UNPAINTED, METAL SURFACE. IF ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE, TOUCH AN UNPAINTED METAL SURFACE TO DISCHARGE ANY STATIC FROM YOUR BODY

Step 2 - Remove and reset basic hardware items

Remove and reseat the items mentioned below in the order they're mentioned:

- AC adapter
- Battery
- Memory
- Hard drive

For instructions on how to do this, please refer to your user manual. If you no longer have it, you can download it from here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1545/

If after following the above instructions, your laptop still doesn't turn on, I would recommend that you contact Dell customer support, which you can do by following this link: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/contact_technical_support?

I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.

My dell inspirion ac charger will keep computer running but will not charge my battery. A pop up will inform me that the system doesnt recognize the charger.

it could be a couple things: Are you using the standard 90 Watt ac adapter, or the Travel auto/Air adapter. The travel adapter is only 65 watts can will charge the battery
If using the standard ac adapter, see if you can try another Dell D series adapter and see if you get the same error.
If same with another adapter, the issue is the charging circuit. If another adapter works, then replace the adapter.
If the charging circuit is bad, it will be the chargerboard or if intergrated, the motherboard

I think that if it's 100% it should say that it's fully charged.There could be something wrong there.

My computer blinks with a red icon on the printer saying that the it's recommended the battery be replaced when the battery goes bad. It shows 100% charge as well.

I just got a 9 cell battery off of Ebay for my Acer Aspire that lasts 3 or 4 hours and is a little big, but fits the contacts and locks on.

try to remove the battery first and plug in the ac power adaptor and see if it works. if yes, then your battery is faulty.

Dell inspirion 6000 battery/charging problem

Also, check to make sure that you have a good connection between the laptop and the charging cable at the power port on the rear of the laptop. We have an Inspirion 6000 with this problem and we've discovered if you pull the power cord out very slightly and lift it upwards, the charging icon appears in the system tray. Appears to be a fractured connection inside the laptop at the power port. Changing chargers does not make any difference.
