“I know there’s a lot of topics on it, but I’ve tried verifying my C disk and uninstalling the driver for the Laptop AC Adapter to no avail.

My laptop is 2.5 MONTHS OLD. I received it 28th October, 2009; it was shipped around the 23rd.

I unplugged my laptop to watch a film with my sister downstairs earlier, and when I plugged it back in, I randomly received this message. I’ve tried unplugging and replugging the dell pa-10 Adapter, restarting my computer, uninstalling the driver, blowing on the plug and the place to plug in the cord on the laptop, verifying my C disk… nothing works! I can use my AC Adapter as a direct power source, but my inspiron 1545 battery refuses to charge. I receive an error on start-up saying that it can’t even detect my adapter anymore, but it’s in perfect condition.

What the heck man? My laptop is BRAND NEW and it’s having this issue? If I always wanted my laptop plugged in, I’d have bought a desktop. I’m still on warranty, but I’d prefer any assistance before I contact them and yell at them for a new AC Adapter or w/e I need.”

“There is a little slide release allow the dell inspiron 1545 battery to be removed.

You may have a defective charger. There is a third signal wire that tells the laptop what charger you have. If this wire gets damaged or the charger circuity gets fried, it will no longer charge. Have Dell replace the charger. If this doesn’t help, the DC socket on the laptop may be damaged. Dell should repair this under warranty. The 1545 has a separate dell pa-10 charger board, so the entire system board does not need to be replaced. It is difficult to repair the socket if the connections are bad.”
