Inspiron 5110 display problems
After I re-istalled windows on my Inspiron 5110 I began to notice that when the AC adapter plugs in, my laptop's display turns off for a second. The same thing happens with pluging out. There was no such problem before. I don't have any idea of what might have changed during the re-instal. Is there any suggestions that might help to fix the problem? I'd be glad to know it, because it's getting really annoying.

First of all, thank you for your response, I really appreciate that.
My BIOS was already updated, couldn't flash it again. Chipset and graphics card drivers doesn't seem to be a problem either, updates did not help at all. I ran the system check on BIOS, everything was fine. Could it be that WIndows is actually a problem here?

Hi neidyel,
I am sorry for the delayed response, after updating the drivers in the system and still the problem occurred. You can try one more step to check whether the problem is with in operating system or with the hardware. Please go to BIOS page and connect the ac adapter and check the display flickers. Please follow the steps to go to BIOS page.
Restart your computer > Tap ‘F2’ as soon as the computer starts to enter the BIOS
Please do reply for further assistance.
