Dell inspiron Vista no battery not detected

My laptop has a battery down icon to the right with an X in it.  I can't use the computer without connecting.

To change the battery, see your user's guide the for more details.  My Toshiba has two sliders on the bottom that release the battery.  Be sure to turn the computer off before removing it.  I don't know that Dell would be more than happy to sell you a new battery, but you could probably find a better price in a local store that sells computers (Micro Center and Fry are good places to look) - just be sure to get one that is compatible with your laptop.  Under the 'normal use' (whatever it is) batteries last usually 2-3 years, but it varies a lot depending on how normal is your use!  I had 4 years of either, but I took out the battery and took place without her much of the time because my use was more often at home.  That could make me Sub-normal.  :-)

I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not work with the charger. Charger is not recognized. No problem with charger.

    My Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not recognize charger. And unfortunately my warranty expired 2 months ago.
    It was plugged and work in the morning, but then in the afternoon I noticed he was running on battery only. It does not start without battery (charger just plugged).

    1 this is what I did to debug. Me and my brother, we bought the same computers Dell laptops at the same time a year and a bit ago. That's why a debugging purposes, it was good.
    I took my charger and plugged into his computer. And it works. Certainly not the charger problem I guess. And when I plug the charger my computer, green light is still on the charger. And I have the original charger provided with the laptop.

    2. now, laptop is running on battery only, so that means that this motherboard works. I think so.

    3. the next thing I did was charger disconnected and removed the battery from the laptop. Then I pushed and hold the "Power" button for 45 seconds to pay a royalty to the flea market. Charger plugged in but laptop will not start.

    4. then I booted the laptop on battery, went to the BIOS and check if the charger is recognized in the BIOS. No, it does not recognize charger. So, if this isn't a charger so what else can we?

    5 laptop has no strange smells so I don't know if something happened with the motherboard, but I guess that motherboard is ok because it works battery.

    6. I was thinking of updating the BIOS, but I can't do it, because it will be not be updated then the laptop runs on the battery, it needs to be plugged.

    Now I'm stuck. I don't know what I can do. I'm willing to spend a little more money on it to try to fix.

    If someone had such a problem in the past please let me know what you have done and if it fixed it.
    Or if anyone has any other ideas, I will be happy and appreciated the help.

    Hello and sorry for this late post. Just had this problem... If there is nothing wrong with the AC adapter, it's a software problem.

    Close the laptop... Unplug the AC adapter / CC... Remove the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Go to the control panel... Find and select the Device Manager... Batteries, left click... Uninstall Microsoft AC Adapter, uninstall Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method... In fact, uninstall all you can under the batteries, but that should be all there is. It will be re - install when starting... Stop cell phone... Remove the AC adapter / CC... Replace the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Now, everything should be good.

  • Audio input Inspiron 15 3000 can not detect the headset

    Audio input Inspiron 15 3000 can not detect the headset, but audio dell can detect something trendy. However, the playback sound device cannot detect any helmet. Now I only get gurgling in the helmet. How to solve this problem?

    Hello. To test the headphone switch the native Windows audio driver Realtek audio driver.

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the box of Windows search).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If it is still bubbling even with the native driver, test by using other headphones. If still no luck then probably hardware failure. Contact technical support for warranty repair.

    If it works fine with the native driver, then the Realtek driver is buggy. Try a different version of the driver. If you need help with this answer comes back with the full model name (something like "Inspiron 11 3147", etc.) and which operating system there.

  • Toshiba A300 PSAGCE battery not detected

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 (PSAGCE) which worked well since I. Recently, he showed "battery not charging". I went to see what I could do and someone advised that I should update the BIOS. So, I went to the website of Toshiba and downloaded the update for my BIOS. I have install without problem. He now has the version 2.20. The problem of "battery not charging" had disappeared.

    I had a new problem: battery not detected!

    The battery worked well and he gave me 2 hours of normal use. Now, it is not "detected". I did everything I could think of. Do you have the BIOS reset (pressing on the WE / OFF button / stop for 30 seconds), I left it with the battery for a few days, etc...

    When I connect the battery, it shows an orange light for 5 seconds and he died later. I don't know what more I can do. I contacted Toshiba in my country without success. They have not yet responded to my email.

    Any ideas? I tried with another charger than computer shows the same.

    I have install as a program of "batterycare.net" and it shows that I have 1.40 hours of battery, but as soon as I remove the cable ca, the computer shuts down without power.

    I guess I won't be needing help... I flashed my BIOS with a lower version that I had (2.20 > 1.80) and now it does not start even upward.

    I'm kidding not things for good.

    Any changes to save it?

  • Upgrade of Windows 10 - battery not detected

    Upgrade Windows 10 has left me with battery not detected laptop Aspire 5738. Already tried the reset of the coercive power, no luck. If I can't find a solution, I need to roll back to Windows 7 or be stuck with a portable desktop computer. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks to Alfin72 in the Windows 10 forum for a solution that worked:

    'Please check if you can do a reset of the battery driver. Here are the steps: go to the currency manager. Windows with your left hand and hold and then press the key for the letter X with your right hand. Then select Design Manager in the list. Right-click on compatible ACPI Microsoft control method battery and choose uninstall. Click the ACtion tab on the top of the search window and chose any material changes. Let us know if you notice a change after following the steps above. »

    The solution worked great!

    I also ended up making a coercive power, then reset because it is now detected the battery but did not load. To do this, simply unplug everything (including the battery), power for 15 seconds button (you won't see anything happen), then reconnect and restart. After that windows will appear, give it another 30 seconds, then put battery back in. Now, it's all good!

  • Dell Inspiron 11 3147 battery "Do not load"

    This new Dell Inspiron 11 3147 just arrived today.

    The power adapter is "connected", but the battery is "not supported."

    I looked everywhere for help for this, the Dell Diagnostics found no problem and I've struggled to get a hold of customer service. The idea most commonly recommended is to uninstall and reinstall the driver ACPI Microsoft NER method exactly, what I did.

    The only thing I have not messed with is the battery itself, which does not seem to be accessible without damaging the back, which is screwed and secure well.

    No idea what is the problem?

    Update from my post below:

    A day later, after the battery fully charged and all was fine, I come back and it's back to the message "plugged in, not charging." I could see if flashing the bios and rebooting will work again.

    My original post on December 8, 2014:

    I had this problem until this morning. In short, I have updated the bios to Version A03, A03 (released December 2, 2014). Before that, I did all the googling and messing everything without success. Here's what to do:

    1. run "my Dell. You can access it by type Ctrl-Esc and then type in "My Dell" and clicking on the "My Dell" icon that appears.

    2. click on the Green Panel "Drivers and updates. This should open a window for product support browser.

    3. scroll down under article which said that "these drivers matching your selections" and click on the arrow next to "Bios".

    4. click on 'Download file '. Please close all applications and run the file and follow the prompts. It will restart for you at the end and the problem should be solved.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Microphone does not

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a built-in microphone. I run on vista. The microphone is not picking up my voice. I went to the control panel. I have made sure it is activated, and all volumes are rising. It is said that SigmaTel Microphone Array works, but that's not true. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled the SigmaTel driver. I did a system restore and that didn't help. The speech recognition does not pick up my voice either. All other sounds work fine, I built in Webcam which works very well, except for the record. But who is also defined on such sigma with all volumes upward. I've had this computer for over a year and the microphone used to work, I think that when I updated something she decided to not work. But I really need my microphone to work, and I am really frustrated because I can't use it. ANY advice would be appreciated thanks!

    Hello

    Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
    the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
    Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    p.s its ultrabook and I can not eject the battery.

    Hi Oren1033,

    I apologise for the inconvenience. I ask you to disconnect the AC adapter and reboot the system. To reset, use a paper click or PIN to reset the system by inserting the sharp tip in the hole under the laptop reset security. Refer to the image below:

    NOTE: Resetting the system causes the unsaved data to be lost. The reset option resets the laptop or the operating system to factory settings. By pressing the button Reset turns off the system.

    If the problem persists even after reset, check if the system starts and runs diagnostics on hardware from the system. Hold down the Fn key and the power of the computer. See also the following link for assistance.
