I would have tried a genuine Dell 90-watter instead.
Was the one you bought genuine Dell, or a clone?

So, there's that. Maybe there is a hardware/board malfunction inside the machine.
I already posted what I would try. Also, that tiny-needle pin reads the digital-identity of the AC-Adapter (SMPS). There is also a DC-DC Converter circuit inside the machine.

A clone but with a certificate and high reviews and the original power cord that it was running on did the same

If the center pin is damaged and or motherboard is damaged and or the POWER SOCKET is damaged.
