XPS 1530 Power Adapter
Cannot charge XPS 1530. Contact Dell support and problem was initially diagnosed as charger problem. Sent new chrger and battery. Not the problem. Read on another form that mother board in this computer series maybe defective. Seeking input.

Hi, I had the exact same issue with my XPS M1530 and the problem is not the system board. The USB / Power Input board P/N 4W104 is what is faulty and will cost either nothing in warranty or a quarter of the amount of a motherboard from any leading auction site. Fitting is a delicate process! Don't attempt unless you are fully aware of this model and how to strip and repair it!
This will cure any of these problems - no power from PSU, PSU not recognised, PSU is not charging battery but supplying system with power.

I have the exact same problem. I've been on the phone with support about 3 times, the computer always starts charging once I do whatever they say, then stops again about an hour after I'm off the phone. I would also like some help. Thanks
