    So i have only had this notbook for a year now. And well about 2 months ago. My battery charger started just turning off. For no reason at all. it would just move the wrong way and turn off. And finally about 3 weeks ago it juss died all 2gether and completely stopped working. So i called dell and i ordered a new one thinking that it was juss the charger dying on me. And well...this new one i have is doing the same exact thing. I dont kno why its doing it. Theres nothing wrong with my computer, at least not that i kno of. And i havnt heard of anyone elses computer's doing this. Its making me so mad. Ill juss be sitting here and it will turn off and i have to push it in and bend it to make it come back on again.

    Does anyone know how to solve this? or know whats wrong with it?

    Okay, i have the same computer as you just so you know. And i had the same problem, but for me it was just the charger

    IT's 3 things or 4 actually.... the charger, the battery, the motherboard, or the outlet.

    Try a different outlet, take out the battery if it doesn't work by changing outlets and plug it in, make sure the plug is in and if none of that works and the present charger doesn't charge at all its the mobo, call dell and tell them.

    Last years batch of Dell's had an issue with the charger plug in on the motherboard itself, quite a few of their models were affected.
    Just check ebay, there are tons of computer shops offering to repair that specific problem for like $99 because it occurs so often.
