Brand new dell inspiron 1545 says it is the wrong charger but it is the wright one battery will not charge but will run from ac adaptor

First, try another charger. Perhaps your charger isn't providing enough volts to the laptop

The battery needs to be calibrated from the setup. I this doesn't work, then ask for change of battery

I would say nothing at all. If it start up and working, it could be that the power light is just out (blown light bub).

This is similar problem I had on my laptop.
Its a problem with the battery not the Charger If computer is in Warranty you get it from Dell or buy a new battery

hi

i thing you have a problem with your Charger just try with other charger if not then just contact dell for your new battery is not working properly

Probably battery, although that should be orange not red..
Remove battery and try it on AC alone, if that works, it was a damaged battery halting the process
If it does not, check the charger's tightness in the charging port, if sloppy or loose, this will need replacing.

Some Dell's are VERY picky about the charger, if not the exact model specified, they will not charge the battery

If none of the above, remove battery and test with another Dell charger of the same spec, if this also fails to work and you are sure the light is red, you have a problem with the motherboard. Commonly the charger power board fails on these.

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

its the charger if the charger is longer before trie changing the battery or if that doesnt work u have to replace the motherboard (around 155.00 GBP)

On the long term, a power adapter with a bigger amperage can damage battery and battery charger.

Better to get an adapter with same specs as the 65/70W one , or an original replacemant:
