Dell Inspiron 8500 battery problem!?


Question Posted Sunday May 13 2007, 12:19 pm

I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 and the laptop won't work witht he battery in. When i press that button on the battery all the green lights blink so im thinking it's charged but when I put it in the laptop it doesn't work. Should i get a new battery or does it have to do with the actual laptop itself??

It could be the battery that just needs replacing since they eventually do die, if you've had it a long while now. The only thing I can really suggest is buying or getting hold of another battery and then trying it to see if it works. If it does than obviously the problem was with the battery but if it doesn't then there's something wrong with the laptop in which case, if it's still under warrenty, you may want ot get it sent off for repairs. If not then you'll need to take it into a specialist who can find what's wrong with it and repair it.

Sorry I can't offer much more assistance than this I'm afraid but I had the same problem with my laptop as well (still do). I need a new battery but since the batteries are so expensive I just use the mains power supply instead which works fine anyway since I never carry this thing out anywhere (it weighs a ton).
