Dell Inspiron 600m


Question Posted Thursday July 12 2007, 2:48 am

My Dell Inspiron 600m constantly keeps switching between battery and electricity even though I keep it plugged in. I have to finagle with the power cord to make it use electricity. I replaced the power cord about 6 weeks ago because the old power cord stopped working. My battery is not one of the batteries that was recalled; nor did I ever have one of the recalled batteries in my computer. What could be wrong?

Sounds to me like the cord isn't the problem, but the port where the cord plugs into your computer.

You should take it in and have a tech look at it and fix it. If your computer is still under warranty, then that should be covered.

Well my Gateway laptop does this constantly, which causes it to quickly run out of battery :/ I just learned to live with it, but I noticed if you jiggle the thing that plugs into your laptop you should be able to find a good spot to keep it where you want it. I've always considered it just a bad charger that doesn't like to stay in play! Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
