My laptop isn't recognizing my power charger/adapter. I can use it to power my comp, but it won't charge.?


It's a Dell Inspiron 1521 and it's a 65w adapter/charger.

i had the same problem with one of my dell laptops it would power the laptop but not charge it.
the reason that happens is cause the main battery that is in the back of your laptop has blown out its usely due to a fault in the battery it self, you can call up dell and ask for a replacment if you have a warranty or you can buy a new one of the dell website.
and by the wat there is nothing wrong with the laptops adapter.

hope this helps

My laptop battery charger's power adapter cannot be determined all of a sudden?


When I plug my charger into my Dell Inspiron (sorry, couldn't tell you the model or anything), this message pops up: "The AC power adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. Please connect a Dell 65W AC adapter or higher for best system operation." But i've been using the same charger and adapter since I got it and it just now suddenly decides to tell me that it can't determine the adapter power type. So weird, like, it sustains battery life while plugged in, but won't charge the battery... gah. HELP?!

This situation happen to almost all Dell users. Dell's laptop chargers are programmed with a special chip that allows Dell laptop to "recognize" Dell laptop chargers. However, this function usually goes malfunction after a short time. Although there might be nothing wrong with your laptop charger, you will not be able to use it anymore because Dell laptop would not allow you to charge the battery with it again.

You don't need a replacement unless you need the laptop to power on battery alone. Just like what the message said, "your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge," this laptop charger will still power up your laptop but it will not charge the battery anymore. There is just nothing you can do about it.

If you are thinking about getting a replacement, I would personally recommend http://www.topmic.com
They are reliable sellers compare to others that I've seen. The price is a lot lower than Dell and its very reasonable consider the fact that they are offering a lifetime warranty and a free shipping.

A genuine original manufacturer compatible laptop charger will both power up and charge your laptop. However, don't get universal chargers because those will not work with Dell.

Glad that I could answer your question. Hope this helps & best of luck!
