    WORSE LAPTOP EVER!!!! Within months of owning my studio 1555 the battery stops taking a charge, weeks later the power adapter can't be recognized by the laptop. If you play with the cord enough it will power on but not charge, move it and it all shuts down. Finally can't get it to power on at all. Replace adapter and battery, all is well.......for 2 months. Back to laptop doesn't even seem to react at all when plugged in, no light, no power dead POS.

    Never again will i purchase a Dell and neither will anyone i know.

    The battery might be fine. It could just be the power adapter.
    You should speak to Dell.

    Is your laptop not still under warranty -one call to Dell will get it fixed.

    If you bought it used, then it's a different Story.
