If the system is under warranty, call Dell for repair. If not,
Assuming the system doesn't sense the AC adapter (F2 at powerup to check), first thing to try is a new OEM Dell AC adapter. If that doesn't solve the problem, replace the DC jack in the system (if you need a part reference, post the full model number - 3521, 3527, etc.).
If that doesn't solve the problem, the mainboard is bad and will need to be replaced.
This isn't a BIOS issue - upgrading the BIOS won't solve this hardware problem.
