Precision 5520 - Doesn't recognize original 56Wh battery

Hi ALFRA,

Are you using an original Dell OEM Adapter? When you plug in the adapter to the system, does the adapter stay firm or does it fall off easily? Is the adapter frayed? Is there any damage on the system? Could you test with another power adapter if possible?

Restart the system and press f2 key to enter BIOS - check the adapter status in BIOS with and without the adapter plugged in. Also, wiggle the adapter cable at the end and see if the status changes in BIOS at any point. Check the battery health in BIOS (if applicable).

Restart the system and press f12 key on startup - choose diagnostics. Let it run the diags and if you encounter any errors - make a note of the complete error and report the same to us. These are onboard diagnostics and they might possible pick some error if the hardware is not functional.

If possible, could you test this battery on another machine and check if it works?

If another adapter works fine, replace the adapter. If the adapter fits in loose, then you would need to replace the dc port.

If the battery does not work on another machine as well, then we could replace the battery purchased if it is a new battery under warranty.

Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private conversation with the service tag and your contact details (Name and Email) and the purchase order# of the battery for case records.

Let us know if you have any other queries.

Hi Rishi,

YES

ADAPTER IS BRAND NEW AND RECOGNIZED AS ORIGINAL AND IN WORKING CONDITION IN THE BIOS.

Restart the system and press f12 key on startup - choose diagnostics. Let it run the diags and if you encounter any errors - make a note of the complete error and report the same to us. These are onboard diagnostics and they might possible pick some error if the hardware is not functional.

SYSTEM REPORTS THAT BATTERY IS NOT ORIGINAL. BIOS SAME THING.

If possible, could you test this battery on another machine and check if it works?

TESTED IN XPS 15 9550, IT WORKED.

TESTED XPS 15 9550 BATTERY INTO PRECISON (SAME MODEL). ERROR IS THE SAME.

If another adapter works fine, replace the adapter. If the adapter fits in loose, then you would need to replace the dc port.

If the battery does not work on another machine as well, then we could replace the battery purchased if it is a new battery under warranty.

Hi ALFRA,

I have responded to your private message.

Kindly review and reply accordingly.

thanks,

let's see if we can get this resolved :)

Wongsifu,

unfortunately the 5520 doesn't support older batteries.

You will need to order a spare one from Dell. .

Please make sure to get  the correct one from the sale rep. since the part number is different.

I got one after a few weeks of waiting (thanks Rishi) and it worked.
