"plugged in not charging"

[r dub 19]

Can these clowns that make this "advanced technology" we refer to as computers etc get anything right for once?

Laptop charging.

How old is your laptop?

About a year.

I have encountered this many times. I found that it would mainly happen when my laptop become over heated.

Guessing it is a Dell?

Apparently has something to do with the manufacturing of the Motherboard, and general wear and tear causes the connections to come loose, or something to that effect.

We have 3 Dells around our place. 2 suffer permanently from this, and 1 gets it every so often.

I know this has happened to me a few times, and Ive just taken the battery out, given it a quick clean, back in and it's 'plugged in and charging'.

Generally just unplug the power cord and replug it back in and it works fine.
