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?

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! [ DaysGoBy22's advice column | Ask DaysGoBy22 A Question ]
