Hello
It is best to get the laptop battery checked from Dell or a local technician. It seems that the battery is dead and does not load when you insert it into the laptop.
However, you can try to update all drivers installed on the laptop (including the motherboard) and check if it makes a difference.

Computer Toshiba laptop will not collect CD/DVD player
Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5897. All of a sudden my laptop had some problems to stay connected with my CD/DVD drive. Its a Matshita dvd ram uj 850 s. sometimes, he disappears on the no hand, unexpected. I played a game yesterday and the game comes close to the top on its own, not even an error note or anything like that - it lacked the drive. I already tried Microsoft fix - it program and it usually solves the problem, but after a few minutes or something, his party once again. And then the register, there was only a higher filter, not a lower filter, and I deleted it. I restarted my computer, and I saw the disc written twice in my computer, then they both disappeared. And finally, I deleted iTunes because of what I read about it affecting the status of the drive. Helped for maybe an hour or two, then he disappeared. Are there other ways to solve this problem? I hope this is enough information.
