SOURCE: no power and there is a clicking noise in ac power adapter

hearing a clicking sound inside an ac adapter is something very unusual. it could be possible that this is a factory defect. call hp and ask for a replacement of another brand.

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: Power cord for my Dell 962 all-in-one printer

Yes, it's an AC adapter.
Very similar to a power converter for a laptop

I had one of these printers before (I replaced it with a 966)
I don't have the part # but if you contact Dell they should be able to find and provide you with it.

SOURCE: i had the battery not recognized on boot up. then

the Dell AC adapter has a sensing pin so the bios can determine the wattage of the adapter. If the system cannot ID the adapter, the battery charger circuit is disabled. You'll need a functional DELL ac adapter to get the battery to charge

Testimonial: "thanks for the prompt response."

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and had the same exact problem. I finally called Dell and they sent a tech out. They replaced my power cord and all the software. The reason for this is because Dell Inspirons has a default in the AC cords. Sounds like the AC power cord is the problem. You could find someone who has this cord and test your Inspiron with it or try calling Dell! It worked for me.

When you received the system as out of the box and you get this message "The AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determind" let the Dell tech service know that they sent you a wrong or incorrect type of AC Adapter.
If this message not was not appearing before it just happened recently try to download and install the latest BIOS version from the support site.
If all fails remove the batt and check if laptop can work with AC adapter alone, because issues like AC not determine may not charge the battery and laptop may not work with AC as well, maybe laptop is already running on battery power.

My laptop dell inspirion 6400will not charge new batteries.

If the power adapter is putting out the required voltage, then you have a problem with your motherboard and you will have to replace it.

Dell inspiron 1521 laptop won't recognize a new 90 watt power

There are different types of Dell power adapters, some of them put out different amounts of power. While it is possible that the battery is faulty, it is more likely, given your error message that the adaptor is wrong. If you got it from Dell, you can call them and they will exchange it.
