There could be a problem with the battery. A fast check to determine whether you have a problem with the power adapter, power cord or the laptop's battery is to turn off the laptop, remove the battery, connect the power adapter, turn on the laptop & see if it works.
If the laptop works directly from the power adapter with the battery removed, then the power adapter is good. In this case we can suspect that the battery is defective & needs to be replaced.

Unplug the notebook, take out the battery.

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds

Now replug in your notebook

If it powers on, then the unit suffered a minor surge and you should from this point use a surge protector from now on.

If it does not power on, then the unit suffered a severe power surge and now the motherboard is blown and needs replacing or buy a new notebook.

I suspect the power supply, you need to put a multi-meter across the contacts to be sure at the plug that goes into the laptop.

Your motherboard is probably shorting out your A/C adapter, you may need a new motherboard. With a Dell, the A/C adapter light will be green when plugged into the wall but as soon as you plug it into the PC the green light goes off. Which means that the Motherboard is shorting out the A/C adapter...

Dell Inspiron 1721 - screen goes black
check the light on the power supply that you are hooked up to. before you plug it into the laptop see if there is a green light when the plug has power from the wall. if you see a green light on...good. it means the power supply is responding correctly so far. if you get no green light, then your transformer is out in the psu. if you get a green light and plug in to the laptop and the light goes out, one of two things could be going on. first there could be a short in the psu like the previous tech said, the second more serious issue could be the power controller on the motherboard. they've been known to go out. like the tech before said. try another power supply if you can. but if you are getting a green light on the power supply before you plug it in...there may be another problem with it.


good luck!

Old battery not charging plug in charger green light goes out
If the system will not power on, and the LED on the AC adapter goes out when plugged into the system, then the most likely senario is the motherboard has failed. Remove the battery, Wireless card, Drives, RAM and connect the AC adapter see if anything changes. If no change, the MB is most likely bad.

Try turning on the system without the AC adaptor. If it doesn't work on battery, then try pressing and holding the power key (after removing the battery) for 30 seconds.
Now attach the AC adaptor and try to power on.
If it doesn't work, it sounds like either a motherboard issue or an AC adaptor issue (possibly there isn't enough voltage being supplied) but it's an odd problem. I hope I helped.
Stay spicy, and happy lappying! :)

Latitude C640 is dead!!
Hi,

I have the exact same issue. It's not the processor. If you have you power supply tested, you will probably find that it's not working anymore. The green light still comes on when plugged in, but it's not sending the "charge" to the notebook.

I have this issue with a couple of C640's. I've tested the machine by charging the battery in another (Pentium 3 Dell C600), then putting it back into the broken machine... woohoo it works.

Unfortunately I can't figure out why the power supply's keep on busting, I don't think that the power-supplies are faulty, or maybe they just get old, don't know, but the most obvious problem is probably something with the mainboard, which really sux.

Hope this helps,
