The power cord and battery are brand new but the charge light is not coming on. The power cord light comes on so I know it's good and the battery was charged when I got it so I know that's not it. I called Dell and they said it was probably a hardware problem. Would like other opinons. The laptop is 3 and a half yrs old. Thanks !

You might have a short in your pc somewhere so that the power isnt reaching the part that recharges your battery.

With older laptops it replaced into counseled that batteries would desire to be completely discharged in the past being charged or the existence of the battery replaced into heavily effected, so it replaced into many times called "undesirable" to depart a pc on cost for long classes. that's probably what the guy who advised it replaced into undesirable were advised. besides the undeniable fact that with greater modern laptops that may not the case and batteries become worse steadily regardless of cost cycles or varieties. you would be advantageous to apply it on a similar time because it is charging - it is going to have not have been given any damaging result.

There might be something wrong in the place were you attach your power cord. Sometimes if the laptop's hard drive isn't responding, it won't work. Maybe you should buy a new hard drive. If that doesn't work just return it.
