    It sounds like there is an issue with the charger plug connection.
    Does it wobble or feel loose in any way?

    First make sure it's not an adapter issue, checking the blue ring around the plug if it stays lit all the time.
    Second make sure that you didn't press the stealth button by accident (less likely but I'm throwing it there).

    If you still have warranty, call Dell support and tell them your problem.

    If not, you'll either have to be careful from now on and avoid getting unplugged or change the plug on the motherboard :/
