Before you contact Dell Technical Support, I like to suggest you power off system, remove AC adapter, and then remove battery. Press "Power On" button for 15 seconds to release status flea power. Replace battery, adapter, and then power on system. Hopefully computer work normally.

1. Turn off computer and disconnect all peripherals - printer, flash drive, external drive, etc....).
