PLUGGED IN NOT CHARGING Inspiration 1525

My Dell Inspiration 1525 has quit charging. I get the message plugged in not charging. Have tried several things but no help. Seems to be common problem with the 1525. Welcome any suggestions.:

 

Did some searching and found that others has fixed that problem by bending the center pin in the charging plug, where it plugs into the laptop, be sure charger is unplugged. Seems this wears and dont make contact Let us know. ed

 

tried that and did not work thanks for the effort

 

how old is the power supply? could it be faulty? making noises? green light?

 

The power supply keeps me running ,just cannot run on battery.down to 40%. Have flashed bios,bent pin, plugged in and out, removed battery and held down power button,even tapped on inspiration logo as some suggested no help!am open to any suggestions

 

Dosent your battery have a test button on it? Let the battery set for a little while then test, it sounds like your battery may be bad. ed

 

no( test button but when in computer (I am running now on adaptor w battery out), the battery health information says the battery is ok

 

Dont know for sure but, i have heard that you need to run your battery all the way down, then windows will attempt to calibrate the new charge. ed

 

I am having the same problem. Brand new battery, shows it is plugged in but not charging. Five million problems out there but apparently no fixes yet. I wished I knew this before I wasted money on a new battery

 

most probably a motherboard issue.

 

Hi,

Most (maybe all) laptop chargers stop charging when the battery reaches 100% charge. That's normal. If the "Charger" (AC adaptor) runs the laptop it is OK.

Luck, Jim
