Dell G3 3579 Charging Issue
My G3 3579 is having a charging issue where even when its plugged, it frequently flickers from on battery to charging. At first, I tried a different charger, and the result was the same.
I have also tried:
-updating the BIOS
-changing Power Management in BIOS from Adaptive to Standard
-unplugging the charger and plugging it back again
-Unplugging the charger, holding the power button 30 secs - 1 minute and turning it on
All of which have not worked. Additionally, I tried my charger on another G3 3579 Laptop but there was no issue, so I know that the problem is within my unit. I also learned from the BIOS that my Battery was in Poor Health, and I cannot order parts from Dell Support because it does not ship to my country.
Beyond the battery, the part that likely needs replacement is the DC jack.

Argh, I'm late on this topic, I tried to change the battery as well on my G3 15 3579 and it didn't change anything for me neither. A little improvement was to use another adapter, I've got a 65W Dell adapter form another laptop and it's (a little) better, I can light the screen up without having the issue (if the battery is at 100%) which is quite surprising as the power is lower with this adapter than the original. Still, the issue is there, I can't play anymore with this laptop. Please, keep us informed if you get any solution.
Hope to hear from you again, good luck solving this issue.

The jack should solve the problem. Generally, either the DC plug or jack is the cause.
If not, the mainboard is the part to replace.
