No Battery is detected
Hi,
I have DELL Inspiron 6400/E1505 laptop and it's been one and half year since i bought this laptop so my warranty is already expired. I am experiencing a weird problem with my battery. This morning when i started my laptop (Vista Home Edition) on AC power, the battery icon (battery with plug) was showing a cross and when i hovered over the icon, it says 'No Battery is detected. When i open the battery meter software, the first tab 'battery status' was showing all controls empty and disabled. I thought perhaps my battery is dead, but my laptop is working OK with AC power as well as on battery. Battery light turn green/yellow when it's on AC power but it is RED when i remove the AC power but system keeps working. In battery mode the battery meter icon doesn't change (it normally changes to show a battery without the plug). I am not sure what to do, what has happened? my battery is dead or battery meter software is not behaving?

Yeah man, you were so rude almost three years ago. Makes me sick. I sure am glad I got an email today alerting me to your rudeness, thanks HWilliams1970. Thankfully I just sit around sans-pants instead of working, responding to rudies like you on posts that were made in 2011 when I did have something better to do. OMG soooooo RUDE!

If your battery is not recognized by the computer the most common issue is the battery itself. I noticed the other day that mine wasn't charging. It said at 95% plugged in and not charging. there is nothing in the software to fix this, it's not a driver, it is in the bios. 99% of the time it's a battery and the only way to test it is to replace it. So, Jim here had it right. If you buy a battery online, check the return policy first so if that doesn't fix the problem for you, you can return it and you're only out the shipping charge.

read the post directly above your post. The new batteries have a chip in it that detects it is wearing out and stop telling the laptop that it's there. So your 4 hour battery doesn't go to 3 and then 2 hours, it becomes worthless according to what I have found online.

Now wait for 2 minutes. Please reconnect the battery and ac adaptor and power on the system." now it come back to normal. thanks !!!
