    Hello guys,
    I have a DELL XPS M1530, and I have 2 batteries.
    last week I decided to try windows 7, and I took the chance and downloaded all the updated drivers, including the BIOS.

    Once the computer was working OK, I noticed that my battery level only goes down. it was not charging with the AC power plugged. when the battery was at 0% I thought it was some problem with the battery, So I got my spare one... and happened exactly the same thing.

    Now I look at the battery icon on the bottom right, and it says "0% available (Plugged in, not charging)"

    do you have any ideia what is going on?

    Thanks

    Boot into your BIOS settings. Check the page/selection which displays your current status of the AC Adapter. It may be your adapter took a dump on you and needs to be replaced.
