I had the same problem with my dell inspiron 5010. The problem is most likely with the connector on the back of the laptop. There are 3 type of connectors, +19.5v, ground and sense.

I resolved it by bending the pins towards outside leaving the center pin (sense) free.

The adapter, battery or mainboard need replacement - call Dell for warranty service.

Seems pretty simple then doesn't it? If it's not the adapter....it's most likely your battery. Hopefully you're still under warranty so they can tell you that your warranty doesn't cover your battery, I just had the similar issue with a Studio XPS. My battery lasted 3 years..not the greatest life ever..but far from the worst. Replace your battery and it will fix your problem, if not, you have a main board issue that will need to be fixed. But my bet is that it is your battery.

Any one knows what the condition for uploading an image is.

Dear jawadamin3,

 The attached images are the best I could generate. Please try to free the x2 center sense pins from the x4 +19V around them.

 Regards

I know this was an old post but this just happened to me. In my case I just followed the dell support on their web site, I was very sceptible but it worked. You just unplug the power adapter from the wall socket and laptop and power down laptop, wait about 30 seconds. I took my battery out aswell, I then reambled and pluged every thing in again and restarted the laptop and it worked the battery is now recognised and charging. This is worth doing first as it saved me alot of time and money from the other alternative solutions. I hope it works for you.
