I am having Dell Inspiron 6400 LAPTOP. Its monitor is flickering when it is running on battery. But it is OK when it is powered with AC. And also this is having a serious hang up problems atleaset 5 times in a hour. Please give your guidelines.

Wuckman,
Make sure you are using a correct AC adapter. I have a Dell Latitude C840 notebook myself, but instead of 19V-4.5A adapter I’m using 19V-3.5A adapter, as a result my CPU always runs slower. I believe instead of 1.8GHz it runs at 1.2GHz. I tested my laptop with a correct adapter and the CPU went back to 1.8GHz, so in my case it happens because I’m using an incorrect adapter.

For the people whose Inspiron 8500 and 8600 won’t charge the battery… you probably need to replace the motherboard. When my 8500 was under on-site warranty, the technician mentioned that some part of the motherboard battery circuitry degraded over time. He didn’t know whether it was the charging or monitoring circuitry, but Dell handled it as a board swap. My second motherboard was acting flaky two or three months after the swap (and the tech swapped it out twice before settling on this one), so it’s very likely that a replacement will croak too – it’s just a matter of time. I’ve seen external battery chargers for $71 to $95 and ‘like new’ (meaning working) motherboards (without processor) for $25 to $200. I think $71-95 is ridiculous for a battery charger given that a charger that plugs directly into the laptop can be found for $35, but taking the machine apart to replace the motherboard is time consuming and is only a temporary solution. One way or the other, you’re screwed…

My Dell 9300 has stopped charging. It functions fine while plugged in, but it will not charge batteries. I have no fear opening it up for I have repaired a few laptops in my day. Does anyone have any ideas what may have happened?
P.S. I just discovered my warranty expired 2 months ago when the problem began, GRR.

Myron O. Camps,
If you want to narrow down the problem, you’ll have to disassemble the laptop. Remove all devices (battery, hard drive, DVD drive, etc…) one by one until you have only motherboard (with video card), CPU and memory left. If the laptop still goes off after 6-8 seconds, it’s possible that the motherboard has been damaged by the liquid spill. If the laptop works fine when it’s minimized, start installing devices and test it after each step until you find a faulty part.
Make sure to reseat the memory module. If you have only one module installed try moving it from one slot to another.
Reseat all cables and connectors.

Gohan,
Try uninstalling and installing the wireless card driver. If it doesn’t help, reseat the wireless card, just remove it from the slot and put it back. It’s possible that contacts on the card got oxidized and the card doesn’t make a good connection with the slot.
Check if the wireless card connection settings (manual IP address, encryption key, etc…) are correct, maybe they got changed somehow.
