dlewis23 Posted October 16, 2006 CID Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 you dont have the correct power supply, i had that same laptop it needs a ton of power. if you have any aftermarket powersupply they will not work you need the dell branded power supply for that specific notebook. if you dont have one you can get one for about 30 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igarek77 Posted October 19, 2006 CID Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hey MJFSOL, I too, have had the same problem as you, and I agree with dlewis23, you need to replace the battery, call Dell, they should be pretty good about replacing it.
