Hi,

Either the battery is dead or the system's charging unit has failed. As it's
under a year old it's still under warranty and you should contact Dell for
warranty support, as the latter condition will require a technician for
repairs (or replacement, actually).

Your battery is gone. It can be 2yrs old or 2 months old it all depends how you
charged it. If you continuously charged it even after (as an example) a single use
the battery can go dead from 1 day to the next and even 1 hour to the next.
Try another battery or bring your battery to a computer store and see if it will
charge up when they try.

If the battery is just 8 months old, then just call the Dell tech
support and they will replace it for you. All the batteries have a
defaulf 1 year warranty. arty:

Hey capi, this is a Vista forum for Windows Vista - software, you
know? Have you tried reinstalling Vista? Did that help?

Just kidding.

Check that the battery is pushed right in. Some batteries (usually non
branded ones though) dont always fit the compartment snugly so after moving
the laptop it can pull away from the connector.

It is a myth that laptop batteries can be overcharged.

As capi has been advised- contact Dell.

Nobody said anything about overcharging. Continuous charging is a bit different than
overcharging. Battery cells tend to die when charging just about after every use or
daily. This is known . Try and charge up your ceil phone battery every single day or
after every single use. Your battery life will not last long

To condition the battery for long life you need to empty it on first use and charge
it full. Repeating the process continuously.

Rechargeable batteries have memory

Not the case with all batteries these days.

Lithium ion rechargeables do not develop memory effect , unlike Nicd and
NiMH.
My cell phone goes on the charger every night and has done for over 3 years.
Works fine.
