Dell charger turns off when plugged in

July 3rd, So I've had this laptop for a while, it lives on the charger, and one day while using it, the screen went black and it shut off, wouldn't power on. I noticed the charger light in the back was off.

June 27th, I woke up this morning and my laptop wouldn't turn on. No sign that it was working at all, no lights turning on or anything. I tried plugging in the charger again, nothing. I tried it with 2 other chargers, same thing. Is this an issue with the jack, power supply, hard drive, or motherboard? Read some other posts here and some other people had issues with those, although their situations were slightly different from mine.

Dell charger turns off when plugged in

This post is more than 5 years old. April 20th, I have a Dell D laptop. Up till yesterday, it functioned perfectly. Yesterday morning, I noticed that I was running on battery power, even though I was plugged into the wall. I check the adapter, and the green light was not lit. I unplugged the adapter from the laptop and the wall, and plugged it back into the wall. The adapter light lit up and stayed illuminated. As soon as I plugged it into the laptop, the green light on the adapter turned itself off. I spoke with a friend who happens to repair laptops, and he's seen about a dozen of the Dell D-Series all with issue. He has no answer as to what exactly might have gone wrong. Has anyone here seen or fixed this issue, short of sending the laptop in for repair? I have this problem too 0. Responses

August 16th, Hi guys! So about 2 and a half months ago, I had a little mishap with my laptop charger. Dunno why I didn't come here first, but it's never too late! Anyway, I had just finished using my laptop for the night, and was plugging it in to charge. I noticed it was a bit difficult to insert.

You should tell us your laptop model, as that can help us to know if your charger has a barrel-type plug or is a USB-C charger.
