Why does my dell laptop shutdown when it is unplugged?

My dell laptop, about 1.5 yrs old, immediately shuts off when I unplug it and holds no charge (and therefore does not work) when it is unplugged. Any suggestions or ideas on what is wrong?Why does my dell laptop shutdown when it is unplugged?Replace the battery. Charge the new battery up, and, if you are not going to need it, disconnect it while you are using mains power. Once a month, use the battery up completely, and recharge to 100% again. Do not leave the battery in while using mains power - it will lose the ability to recharge properly. The new battery should last longer than the old one...Why does my dell laptop shutdown when it is unplugged?
This used to be a big problem whrn we had our laptop. Your computer has a certain time of battery life as in a certain amount of hours. When those hours are done there is no use for the battery anymore unless you plug in the cord which keeps your computer connected to electricty but when it is unplugged it immediatly shuts off. This is a problem with a simple solution. All you have to do is go buy another battery, but do not rely solely on the battery because that is how you lose your hours so fast. Whenever you can help it, use the cord so that you don't use the battery up. Therefore, your computer is charged and you still have lots of hours, if there is an emergency.Why does my dell laptop shutdown when it is unplugged?1. Try cleaning the battery contacts

2. Try the battery reset button

3. You have a dead battery. They usually last longer than 1.5 years and usually die slowly but sometimes they last less and die suddenly. Complain loudly to Dell saying a battery should last longer than this, even if it is out of warranty.Why does my dell laptop shutdown when it is unplugged?
Laptop batteries wear out to the point where they no longer hold a charge.

If it's much of a problem for you, you may want to look into getting a new battery or laptop.

If not, then just keep it plugged in. It shouldn't do any damage.Why does my dell laptop shutdown when it is unplugged?Sounds to me like you need a replacement battery. Flip over your laptop and look for a switch or button that releases your battery. Then find the part number for it and google for a replacement. 10 to 1 thats your problem.Why does my dell laptop shutdown when it is unplugged?
Laptop batteries are only rated to last about a year before needing to be replaced.



Time to buy a new battery.
