Plugged in, not charging
My Inspiron 1525 battery charging icon stays low and says plugged in, not charging. The adapter light is green and on help I could find only that this was likely a hardware problem so what do I do next? Using the laptop off of battery is impossible for now and I am at a loss. Thanks anyone.

Assuming the system is out of warranty, try a new adapter first - if it doesn't fix the problem, then a new battery. If neither fixes the problem, the mainboard needs repair or replacement.

Hi I've just managed to fix my "plugged but not charging" problem with Inspiron 1525. All you need to do is to replace power board (Part number 48.4W006.021) - looks like this http://www.laptopking.com/dcjack/999742.jpg . Very easy to do ( takes 1,5 -2 h ) if you know how to operate screwdriver and use Dell service manual : http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1526/en/SM/index.htm You can find this board on ebay - I paid for mine 35 pounds Sorry for my poor english and good luck!!
