GoranNSW Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 After a lot of searching and reading about problems with Dell chargers that don't charge batteries I found solution to mod broken Dell or any other adapter and make it "genuine".The site is on german, but anybody with basic microcontroller programming skills can easily build it: Dell Notebook mit fremdnetzteil betreiben GELÖST - Mikrocontroller.netI can confirm that it is working, it saved me 100$!

CB400SF Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 sometimes even genuine Dell charger is refused by the system, maybe a signal pin within the plug is the cause.I bought a used 240W delta charger for my M6600.at first time the system refused the charger but after I blowed some dust off within the plug, It worked.

accerian Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 There are 4 things that can be wrong with dell that is not charging : -Damaged charger , data pin i broken (pin inside the charging plug) , cable is broken so it doesnt transmit power/data -Charging port is broken -Motherboard electronics is broken -Battery is dead Easiest way to check what is wrong ? Get any known working dell charger(can be with lesser or bigger W) plug it in to your laptop and check in bios is it recognizable . If ur laptop did not recognized charger it might be issue with charging port or motherboard , ofc first replace charging port If charger is recognized it can charge ur laptop when it is off even with lesser W than it is recommended for ur laptop but will cause hard throttling during using of laptop I was dell HelpDesk specialist for 4 years i know what im talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
