| Topic: Battery thing in Dell laptop | |
|---|---|

My Mom's Dell laptop does not turn on(black screen) but an itty bitty lightning bolt lights up on the keyboard itself signifying power or battery. I turn the laptop over and there is a battery pack type of thing and the cover on it has a lightning bolt on it. I took this "rechargable" black thing out and now I don't know what to do . Is this something that you take somewhere and get recharged? Buy a new one? Should it have come with a charger? I'm lost on this. Thanks.

The battery 'thing' is the battery.
It should charge when you run the pc from the mains. My guess, although i am no expert, is that the power supply is faulty and that the battery has run dead. Try and search out a new power lead. But first, wait for someone who knows what they are talking about to reply! |

No wonder I'm in the dark. Thanks!

You should have a charger that connects from the wall out let to the back of the computer. That is how the batter is recharged. If you don't have that then it will need to be replaced. It does seem to be getting some juice if you can see the power light on. |

A neighbor of my Mom's dropped in and took a look at her computer. He held the on/off button down longer and the computer came on! Go figure! Thanks everyone!
