When I plug in the power adapter, the white light on the laptop turns on but then goes out. The green light on the adapter goes out also. I removed the battery and plugged in the adapter and the same thing happened. I bought a new adapter and changed the motherboard...same problem. I put the battery in an identical laptop and it charged perfectly so I do not believe it's the battery. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you checked that the Power adapter is the right match for your laptop, are you using the correct power adapter?

SOURCE: laptop won't turn on

The blinking orange battery light generally indicates that the battery isn't working properly, usually going out and not charging properly. In this case, since the adapter will not power the machine without the battery, and it should, I'm going to say that the adapter is going out and not getting the proper amount of power to the system. Try replacing the adapter. Be sure to replace it with a Dell replacement, the Targus brand universal adapters do not work well with Dell machines, and in most cases won't work at all.

SOURCE: Dell Inspiron 1000 notebook won't turn on

The motherboard is bad. This model had a fault where after a while the North Bidge heatsink would break off and short the motherboard distroying it. This problem is something to not fix, it is not worth it, cost more than it is worth.

SOURCE: Dell Latitude D600 won't accept charger

Had the same problem, My other Dell charger would work fine but the original one that came with this laptop would throw an error message that the Charger wasnt recognized. None of the suggestions on the forums worked.
I held the chord by the circular flex thing at the end, and pushed in the power pin with force into the laptop, held it for a few seconds and now it works fine. If you push the pin slow and gently into the laptop, it doesnt recognize the adapter. I think the problem is either with the power chord connections inside or with the adapter inside the laptop. Try it!

SOURCE: Dell Vostro 1000 shut down and won't turn back on

nope, it is your dc power regulator board. you will note this happens if the battery is in or out of the laptop. that is the key test. some regulators are on the main board and some are seperate for this reason. I think the vostro though is on the main board. A little board re-work will resolve this issue after replacing some components, but this is way beyond a home user's ability.. trust me on this. Sorry for the bad news. Thanks!

SOURCE: My Dell 5160 laptop slows down with the AC adapter plugged in.

try running ur laptop using the adaptor without the battery in it's place and run it with just the battery...note the difference....it may be a power surge/short issue....some times the battery is supplying power along with the adaptor to the notebook and the power circuit in there is not able to take dual power....check your power options setting in Control Panel...

also do this

WHAT DOSE IT MEAN WHEN THE LIGHT ON THE POWER ADAPTER TURNS BRIGHT GREEN RIGHT AFTER BEING PLUGGED IN THEN TURNS TO A LIGHT GREEN BUT THE SECOND ITS PLUGGED INTO THE LAPTOP IT SHUTS OFF

Bright green means there's power to the power adapter, light green means it's charging, and when the light goes off it's charged. It usually means your laptop is fully charged when you plug it in, and it goes off. And the laptop doesn't power the battery, the battery powers the laptop. Does the laptop come on when plugged to a electrical source, you should be able to plug it in and use it while its directly plugged to the wall via the adapter. Make sure your using the correct voltage and amps in order to charge the battery, And when your charging the voltage going in is about 19+ volts but the battery only put out 11 or 12 volts to the laptop.
So do a check list so you know what you did, and write it down. I would check the adapter with a volt meter first see how much its putting out. If it's not putting out enough. If so you found your problem. If not move onto the battery, and check it with the meter to see how much its charged. Batteries go bad and have to be replaced once in a while. Iv'e bought 2 off ebay myself, and there not to expensive. Let us know how it goes, or call up and talk to an expert, it will save you alot of time. Hope i helped a little.

Lap top will not turn on

There are a couple of things you can try. First let's make sure the battery has power. On the battery there is a little white button next to some LED lights. Press the button if you get no LED lights (they should be green) you have no power, if you get one fast blinking LED you have no power. Plug in your power suuply and make sure the green/orange light comes on on the adapter right where it attaches to the laptop. If you need to you can try a different power adapter if you can find on available from a friend or a store. Assuming you have power we could try reseting the SMC. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to make sure the power on the laptop is off. Unplug the power cord and using a coin or key to turn the circular lock, remove the battery from the laptop. Next with the battery out and the power unplugged press and hold the power button for 5 seconds then release. Replace the battery and lock into place. Plug in the power cord. Wait 5 minutes and then try to power the laptop on with the power button again. Hopefully this helps.

On the issue with th ebattery on the 1521 inspiron. Took battery out and plugged in still will not power up. Could it be the adapter as well?

On the ac adaptor, look for a green light that will turn on when you plug it into the wall outlet, if its on that means the ac adapter working. If you get a green light on the ac adapter but then the green light goes away when you plug it into the laptop then that means the laptop has a bad motherboard.

If you plug the ac adapter into a wall outlet and get no green light then that means the ac adapter is bad and you would need to get another one.

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.
