Same token about getting a new battery... I also can sell them for you if you live in Southern Ca. Because I have a vendor close to me that sells me batteries for all types of notebooks.A friend of mine has a Dell 600m and for some reason it will no longer run on a/c or charge the battery. Does she need a new mobo or just a new part to solder on? Thanks for any help.
The port where you plug the charger in may be dead or damaged. Plug the new battery and old battery into the other persons computer and charge them on there and then use them on her laptop i guess for now.
i can give you some help........its a DELL
Hey, i own four dells and aside from reinstalling everything when i first get a dell the hardware is all right. Im always tight on money and the only reason i buy dell is because theyre cheap and i would love to build another comp but buying the OS is what kills the price. But yeah umm, if you want to take a look at it pop up the cover that has the power key on it, remove the screws from the keyboard and then pull that out, but make sure you pop up the harness retainer(where the keyboard plugs in) so as to not rip the harness off, and then go from there. Remove screws in the back of the laptop, take the battery out, there may be a screw where the wireless card and monitor plug in also. Then you can get to where the charger plugs in to take a look at it. You can find diagrams on the dell website as to how to go about this. Im sure you could figure it out yourself its a no brainer, i have my laptops apart once in a while to clean and stuff lol.
I hate to dig up an old thread but I have an issue too. My battery shows a green light...I can run my computer off the AC adapter...but when I unplug it the battery light flashes red and dies soon if I don't plug it up fast enough...any help? I also have an Inspiron 600M (not by choice, it was my graduation gift from my mom who gets a dell discount).
so, is it where the AC adapter plugs in or the battery?
