How to repair a Dell Laptop / Battery Charging power problem with a DC adapter.
How I fixed a Dell Laptop that refused to charge the battery and recognize that I was using a genuine Dell DC Power adapter. It took some careful adjustments to the DC jack in the back of the laptop. In addition there is a signal cable that easily gets severed over time in the end of the DC power cable. By making these two repairs, the laptop works perfectly, the power cord stays in firmly, and the battery charges without problem.

hello please can you help me how can i fixe? my battery
Great tip to help me analyze and eliminate what is not causing my lap top to not? boot even with a new power cord and battery that is supposed to be compatible.

/watch?v=UfaehbWuUt0
I can confirm that this is how? I got my power supply to work again. Great tip, thanks. I’d already almost got the supply cracked open, this saved a lot of trouble…
Not that I know of.. They have a proprietary chip that gives the signal as? far as I know, so that’s why all the clone adapters can’t duplicate it.
Are ther any other? better chargers available compatible with Dell and better than the dell chargers. This is my 2nd one in 3 years. To be frank the current one has also started giving problems..
Poor design or deliberate fault by Dell I guess.
Brilliant work
Right to? the point and no Music !! Thank you ::
sorry I meant? the ac jack
Great! My battery wont charge and I purchase a battery and it didn’t charged either maybe now I can send it back….? right on time what I was looking for…. only one thing what do you use to clean inside the ac jack and adaptor also what is the best way to get to the ac adaptor? Thank you!
Thaks for the reply. I already purchased a new adopter but still its not charging battery in my laptop while? this new adopter even the broken one also charging my laptop battery in my friend’s laptop perfectly. I purchased a docking station in this way my laptop works only if battery is inserted in the laptop but its not charging the battery, always yellow light is flashing and message comes connect adopter.
so your problem is not your battery in this case then, that is the good news. Now bring your power adapter to your? friend’s house. I am guessing your AC adapter will NOT charge his battery. If that is true, then you know your AC adapter is the problem, not your laptop.
hello, my battery is ok its working fine after charging in my friend’s e64100. his battery and my batter also working good in my laptop.Could you pl? help if could change some parts in my latop or do you think if i take it to a shop they can repair my laptop. Smebody told only solution replacing of CPU.
your awesome! Great vid.?
Great video? !
Thank you very much for help and reply. Actually one of my friend has got model Latitude 6400, my battery is working and charging very good in his laptop as well as in my laptop. His battery also working? good in my laptop as well. I took my laptop to a shop, the technician started working in a hidden place then returend me in a half hour and said pl bring your laptop in a working condition like charge your battery again in your friend’s laptop and display should be working good. So its working
I think you? answered your own question. The problem is not the adapter anymore. Your battery is now dead and that is why it won’t charge. If your battery is NiCD and NOT NiMH then you might be able to recover the battery. Look on youtube for “nicd battery fix free” and if that works for you. BUT you must have a NiCD (nickel cadmium battery)
Hi, Could you help me please. I was using a broken poorly jointed wires in to the adopter to charge my laptop Dell latitude E6410. The joint was broken and by mistake? I jointed it wrongly now battery is not charging at all, even I tried original replicator in which all the laptops are showing charging the battery but in mine one its never charging. Thanks.
Actually, it’s the piece that you are cleaning beginning on or around frame #56 in your video. It’s that round piece in the center that the? charger plugs into. Once I got down to removing the motherboard, I found that the piece has come completely loose. I don’t know if it broke off from the housing that surrounds it, or if it became detached from the motherboard at the point where the 3 prongs touch the board.

re: hot gluing, I would do that inside the motherboard itself. Not exterior to the? laptop
To be honest, I haven’t examined the female dj jack that connects to the motherboard. Naturally you should make sure it is soldered to the board. Since 19V is going through it, it shouldn’t “barely contact the board” in any regard, otherwise you’ll throw a spark and cause a fire hazard at some point. The hot gluing method I was referring to, should be cooler than a soldering gun, and allow you to stabilize the DC? jack better since it will get a lot of abuse with use
I have the same issue as bridgeovertheriver.The inner barrel on the female side of jack came unseated and completely comes out of the casing which is still attached to the board. I already have the laptop taken apart. You mention hot gluing the barrel piece? Can you elaborate? The 3 prongs on the barrel just barely contact the board. Am I correct that these 3 prongs need to be soldered to the board?? Or are the prongs soldered to the outer casing, which is itself soldered to the board? Thanks.
Very helpful? thnks
It sounds like it is doing a trickle charge for some? reason. There is no way to figure it out without trying a different adapter, or a different battery. It is quite possible that the battery is faulty. They don’t last very long, typically only a couple years. People will talk about how their batteries last longer, but it all depends on usage. Ie: How often you run on battery vs how often you run with an AC connection.
Thanks? for the video. Would a faulty jack and/or cable connector cause a very slow charge (i.e. 20 hours charge time for 45% battery charge)?
