Dell Insiron 600 battery wont charge
I did recently purchase a used laptop, but the laptop is used, 2 1/2 yrs old.
It is no longer under warranty and I didn't buy it from Dell. My question is why won't a Dell battery work in it? "David H.

It is no longer under warranty and I didn't buy it from Dell. My question is why won't a Dell battery work in it? Yep - that's your question... Welcome to microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support, where issues surrounding Microsoft Windows XP (in particular - the Help and Support feature found in Windows XP - although this meaning has long been lost for this particular newsgroup) are discussed. What you have is a hardware issue - nothing to do with Microsoft or Windows XP. It is a question you should ask Dell or give more detail to anyone who might be willing to help you. Not all Inspiron's use the same batteries. That's one fact. Another would be that the message you refer to (about not recognizing the battery) is likely only a warning that says that battery is either not meant for this system OR is not an official Dell battery. The last fact is that - as I said - this issue has nothing to do with anything other than pure hardware - meaning your best path for support is not in a group meant for the discussion of Windows XP (software.) ;-) It could be the laptop cannot charge batteries anymore (that type of hardware issue - the laptop doesn't send the right signals to allow this to happen any longer) or it could be the original battery is just dead and the borrowed ones are of the wrong type. You might find a place like a "Batteries Plus" - where they specialize in such things as replacement batteries and see what you can find... Like: http://www.batteriesplus.com/product...-Series/1.aspx Or you might buy a new battery direct from Dell: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...&mfgpid=167571 Or you might take the laptop to a local "mom & pop" computer shop to see if they can tell you if it is the battery or the laptop and see what your options are. However - as has been pointed out to you - there's not much anyone here can do for you other than give you advice like I have. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

| I did recently purchase a used laptop, but the laptop is used, 2 1/2 yrs old. | It is no longer under warranty and I didn't buy it from Dell. My question is | why won't a Dell battery work in it? | OK, so it (the laptop) is noty under warranty. That does NOT make my statement moot. It only changes Dell's responsibility to fix the problem. It is Dell who is best apt to fix the problem. The battery is installed in the laptop, The power supply connects to the laptop. The laptop is responsible to determine the battery state of charge as well as in charging the battery. Therefor the problem is either with the notebook if the battery fails to charge or the battery itself. So either the batteries you have have both gone bad and can't be charged or the laptops internal circuitry has failed and is incapable of charging even a good battery. In either case, you need to contact the manufacturer to determine the best course of action. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

There is a Dell Support Forum for this too. http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/ Give details. Like the battery #'s if you can to the forum. As others have said, you may be mixing batteries. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, and my battery finally got to the point that it would only hold a charge long enough to more the power plug from outlet to outlet, 2 minutes. I bout a new one for $50+/- someplace. But a 100% replacement model# for model#. 9 cell too. Not the 6 cell. It works great. Also try the reverse, if the other guy will allow you to, take your battery to his machine and see if it charges. If it does then the battery is good. Look at power packs or the laptop itself then. You can swap power packs too to try to eliminate the defective part. You are lucky if he has a 6000, as this makes troubleshooting a breeze. *But be warned* if its not 1 for 1 then you might blow something. As others have said, not every battery is the same. |
