Laptop won't turn on with dead battery/AC adapter plugged in
Hello! Recently, the battery died on my Dell Studio 1558 but the AC adapter still works fine. The green LED on it lights up and it does on the laptop as well. So I'm sure it's getting power. I even bought a new one from my local Best Buy today and that didn't work.
My question is, how do I get the laptop to power on for more than a few seconds before it shuts down on me? There's no reason I should have the battery working for it to turn on.

Hi ghost712,
Disconnect the battery from the computer and power on the computer only with AC adapter. Check if it computer powered on for a longer time.
If yes, we can perform few troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue:
Please post the results.

Hey Madhur! Thanks for the prompt reply. I removed the battery and tried powering it on and now it doesn't power on at all.
I put the battery back in and it powered on for a few seconds and went out on me.
I tried the new AC adapter I bought and got the same result.

Hi ghost712,
When the AC adapter is connected to the computer, is there any LED on the adapter?
If the LED on the AC adapter is off, then it is an issue with the port where the AC adapter connects to the computer.
You can check the warranty status here. In case of expired warranty scenario, we would not be able to extend warranty entitled services. If the warranty on the computer has expired, you may contact our Expired Warranty Team. (this is for US based customers).
If the computer is in warranty, I request you to private message the system service tag number. To private message, accept my friend request; click on my user name and click start conversation.

The green LED lights up on the adapter. The warranty is expired as I purchased it in 2010. Would you still like to take this to a private conversation?

Hi ghost712,
With the message that you have sent, I understand that there is a green LED on the AC adapter when it is connected to the computer.
The reason for the private message was to replace the parts if the computer was in warranty. As the computer has inactive warranty, please contact the Expired Warranty Team, as the issue is with the port on the computer where the adapter connects.
For any clarifications feel free to contact me.

Hi Madhur,
I have a dell Studio 1558, all of a sudden the battery won't charge and the charging LED on the computer won't glow. I removed the battery and the laptop works fine with the AC adapter. Since the battery life was at the end, I bought a new battery from local store and replaced it, still the battery won't get charged but the computer turns on with the power on battery only. Please advise on the issue.
Thanks,
Sree

Hello
If the battery has been telling you for a while it is not working correctly - is it likely that my battery has died and that is why the laptop won't turn on?
The first fault I had was it was not recognising my user profile, so I decided to rebot and now it won't swtich on? Should I try your memthosof removing the battery all together?
Thank you in advance

So glad I could find this answer. Its the same answer for the most part I have seen when I've neglected my lap top battery and let it die. This works!. Only difference from other posts is your #2 and #3 which I didn't quite understand and didn't use.

Hello I am Rifas Ahamed
I supposed to face issue which similar to your post. According to your given solution, I followed your steps. As first check was possitive, I carried out following steps. But with respect to step 3, while trIed to power on laptop with AC POWER ADAPTOR, LAPTOP WAS NOT POWER ON. I NOTICED THAT INDICATOR ON CHARGER WAS BLINKED FOR A WHILE AND GOT INTO POWER OFF...
WHAT TO DO?
THANK YOU
