Check status of AC adapter and battery in the BIOS setup.
1. Power off computer.[ make sure AC adapter is connected to computer].
2. Power on computer, quickly start tapping F2 key continuously. You should be in the BIOS now.
Under the main tab, look for the option that says "AC adapter type". If the AC adapter type says Unknown or None then it's most likely a problem with the adapter. Note: You can wiggle adapter while checking it in the BIOS.
Under Advanced tab, look for Battery Health, it should say "Battery Is Performing Normally". If it says any other message then it's a problem with the battery and most likely needs to replace with a new battery.
According to the image, it appears the battery is good. Just to make sure the system didn't disable the battery, I like to suggest you check 'desktop mode' in Battery Meter or Windows Mobility Center to make sure it's disable. Please right click the battery icon on taskbar, and then click desktop mode, see image below.
Please keep in mind, you have 30 days from invoice date to return it and then order a new one. If this a software issue, you also have 30 days of software support.
If updating Quickset App doesn't fix the problem then I strongly suggest you return laptop to Dell or from the store which you purchased it. You shouldn't be doing a lot of troubleshooting on a brand new computer.
