Not charging when on

I have an Inspiron 1100 that won't charge when it's on, it only goes on external power. In order to make it charge the battery, I have to shut it down.

What is wrong, and what can I do about it?

    Jolly good,

    Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.

    You probably have the 70watt AC Adaptor, and it is only capable of charging (outside of trickle-charging) while the system is off.

    No, it's not that, because this started yesterday. Until then it was possible to charge the battery with the macine on.

    Thanks anyway.
