I get the same warning, and the battery icon in windows give me the same info: Plugged In, Not Charging.Į- I suspected the DC power jack of the laptop was faulty (the extra pin that is used to make sure the power adapter is genuine Dell). Under Power Management / Primary Battery Charge Configuration, I can play with the settings and nothing changes (still shows Plugged In, Not Charging).ĭ- I purchased another Dell power supply, proper part number, correct wattage. Under 'Battery Information', I have Health: Excellent, and AC Adapter = Unknown. The system will adjust the performance to match the power available.' I can select continue and the laptop is loading Windows 10 normally.Ĭ- Note that when going into BIOS Setup, I get same info as above (2b). The front light (which should be white when charging) is not lit.Ī- when laptop is completely off (following a proper shut down), plugging in the power adapter will make the front light flash once for about 1/4 second then turn off.ī- Turning on the laptop with battery installed and power adapter plugged in, I get a warning from Dell SupportAssist: 'The AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined.

My battery level is 42% and is not decreasing or increasing when the laptop is plugged in. I also realized that the battery icon on task bar tray showed 'Plugged In, Not Charging'. On this fresh install, only an anti virus (Avast) and Firefox is installed.Ģ) By reading on the issue on the internet, I realized that the CPU speed was decreased to 0.48Ghz when it should be 2.2Ghz (Inspiron 5558, Core i5-5200U).
