Method 4
You may drain the residual power of your computer and re-calibrate the battery by following the steps below:
1. Power off your computer. Remove all the external peripherals (printers, scanners or any other USB device) connected to your computer
2. Remove the AC adapter and battery of your computer. Press and hold the power button of your computer for 15 seconds to drain the residual power.Release the power button
3. Keep the battery out for at least 4 hours. Then insert the battery and charge it overnight with the system powered off
4. Insert the battery in and connect the AC adaptor. Then power on the computer and see if it works.

Hi,
I have tried all above mentioned steps but nothing has helped. Also i have seen my battery capacity which is listed at about 80%, so what do you think is it a battery issue or other hardware problem.
Thanks.

Hi Ashish,
When was the battery last replaced? Can you test with another battery if possible?
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.
If the adapter is fine, I would only suspect that the battery might be reaching the end of its life. Test with another battery and check.
Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private conversation with the service tag and your Name for case records.
Let us know if you have any other queries.

I have a few suggestion:
Method 1
Reset the BIOS to Default Values and see if that will make a difference.
