I would suggest you to update the BIOS on the computer. Please enter your service tag # on the link below, then download the BIOS required onto the system and install it.
Also, We will have to check the status of the adapter in BIOS; if the adapter is not detected properly the system will continue to receive power but will not charge the battery. Please follow the steps mentioned below to check if the adapter is detected properly.
1. Start the computer by pressing the power button 2. Press the F2 key 2-3 times 3. You will now be on the BIOS screen 4. Under the Main Tab look for the option that says AC Adapter Type 5. If the Adapter Type says Unknown or None with the adapter plugged in. 6. Reconnect the adapter to the machine and if the status now shows as Unknown then the AC Adapter needs to be replaced.
