Hello,

I have a Dell D630 laptop and a problem:

Battery does not charge when AC adapter is plugged in. It says "On AC power", battery percentage does not go up or down. When I unplug adapter, laptop is normaly running on battery power and when I unplug the battery, laptop works OK with power adapter. I checked BIOS, it said that battery is working properly, but the AC adapter is an unknown device.

The adapter was new and worked for a year now, battery was replaced just a week ago and was charging.

So is the new battery faulty or is there a coincidence and power adapter failed?

P.s. If I plug in power adapter when PC is not running, the little power light (on laptopt) does not turn on.

Thanks,

Kardanas
