SOURCE: dell d610 latitude wont charge new battery

Hey,
First off, do you have a way to check the output of the ac adapter to ensure it's putting out the correct current?
If you've done that and have a multimeter handy, you can remove the battery, system off, and check the charge pins for current/voltage. I believe one of the end pins is neg (ground) and at least one of the other pins should show 2.6-3.6V, as well as other various voltages. If you fail to get any response at the charger pins, we'll need to look at the board circuitry, assuming again that the ac adapter is operating properly.
Good luck

SOURCE: power for battery on DELL laptop Latitude D610 as posted FixYa

In the BIOS, does it show the battery and it's current state? As weird as it sounds, I've fixed an issue like this on a D600 by updating the BIOS to the most current level. Weird, but true.

SOURCE: wont charge

The most common cause of this is the input jack being broken off of the mother board. There is a fair amount of stress on the jack which is surface mounted onto the motherboard. It is common for the connection to break off. This can be fixed easily by anyone that works on surface mounted equipment. Please note that the laptop will need to be dis-assembled to gain access to the area that needs repair. This is a fairly involved process and should not be attempted by someone not familiar with laptops. Expect to pay around $100 for this repair. No parts should be required.

The laptop does not charge the battery but the battery charges off the laptop (long life battery)

Hi,
Could you again specify the problem. if i understand it correctly the laptop battery is not gettiing charged when the Ac adapter is plugged into the laptop. The secong part about the long battery life is not clear.

The battery may not get charged witht he AC adapter due to two reasons
1. A bad ac adapter
2. A bad battery

if the battery is more than 1 year old , it may have reached its end of life.

To confirm the same. Restart your computer and when you see the Dell logo before windows starts tap on the F2 key a couple of times.
You will enter system setup
Using the down arrow key go to the option battery info or battery health. check the status of the battery . Also check if the Ac adpater is listed there or not . If the battry reports an error it needs to be changed . If the Ac adapter is not detected then the Ac adapter needs to be changed.

Thanks for using Fixya

Battery Charge light flashing 4 red one green Dell Inspiron 9200

usually, its an indication that the battery is nearing the end of its useful life. you can try to use another battery to isolate it further. If the same thing happens with another battery, chances are, the mobo is failing. Flashing the BIOS can usually help with battery issues. If another battery works fine and your computer is within its first year since you bought it, you can request a replacement battery from Dell

I would say its defective. Bring it back to where you bought it and show them. Bring your laptop charger also so you can show them it in action. Hope this helped.

Is any cheap battery for laptop d620

Hi - i've ran a D620 now running a D630 and yes the battery life is extremely poor even when the battery is new.
The option above will give you extra - you can also buy a moduler battery that will fit into the CDROM port which will give you even more!
http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=d620%20modular%20battery&cr=countryUK%7CcountryGB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf

or ebay is your best bet...
