8100 won't power up without battery.
My Inspiron 8100 will not charge the battery or power the computer. The AC adapter is fine and the computer runs great on battery power. I went through the trouble shoot with dell support and they tell me the motherboard must be replaced at $586.00. I believe it is possible only a component of the motherboard needs replaced ie. the internal power supply and fans. Anyone have any suggestions??
- i just got a new xps140 had it for a week and have exect same problem.As soon as i plug the battery into the computer my ac adapter light goes off and will not charge the battery or power up the computer.Dell is not very helpful. They dont wanna give me a new laptop and want me to send this one in for repair.Frastrated so bad.paid 1700 bucks and got a piece of sh*t.
