Dell inspiron 6400 Battery problem

Hi,

I've had my Dell Inspiron 6400 for about a year and a half now . It has been working absolutely fine for me. Since about 4 day ago, the battery has been doing some abnormal operation. it is fully charged, but when i disconnect the AC power adapter plug, power meter icon on taskbar shows 100% charging. i examine many times that battery is showing 100% charging, but after 15 to 20 minutes, battery goes down. It shows 90% to 100% power. I could not understand what is the problem with my battery. Plz help me to solve this problem. Thanks alot.

What i would suggest is to check the bios there may be a new flash download on the dell website, my wife has a inspiron 1525, which is plugged in and says not charging, the battery will not go above 0%, but we have had to send it to dell (still under warranty) faulty motherboard. if the bios is up to date, there could be a hardware issue with the battery or motherboard

AC adapter not recognised

Try charging the battery on one of the other dell's.
If the unit runs for any lengh of time, it is not the motherboard.
It could be the A/C adaptor jack on the side of the unit.
Log a complaint will dell's customer care.
