Plugged in, not charging


I have a dell E1505 that I have hade no problems with Win 10 from day one until the latest update ver 1803. There must a bunch of people who have had this "not charging" issue. I have done every step from chilling the battery to removing all the battery drivers via device manager. Nothing worked. at one point I got half way there. I regrouped and played with it for three days. You will see in the procedure that it was the power cfg step that seemed to get it aligned to the system. I no longer have the issue and even the Quickset warning to use the proper Dell charger no longer appears. I hope this helps someone because I never found any Microsoft response that weren't scripted or useful.


1. Make sure you have enough battery power to pullthis off. If you don’t you may have to use a friend’s battery.
2. Disconnect the charger from wall socket. (Laptopnow on battery)
3. Disconnect the charger from the laptop.
IMPORTANT!! Go to the device manager and in the battery section delete all the drivers. Don't worry they will come back when you turn the laptop on in step 7.
4. Turn off the Laptop.
5. Connect charger to wall socket.
6. Connect charger to Laptop.
7. Start Laptop.
8. Wait till it is completely started.
9. At this point you will see that it is charging.If you disconnect the charger and reconnect it you will be right back where youstarted!
10. Now this the step that I tried on a whim. Openthe command prompt. Type in
a. powercfg /batteryreport
b. Open the report. It has some real interestinginfo then close it.
11. At his point you can shut down the laptop andsee your charging light is flashing.
12. Turn your laptop on and click on the batteryicon. Disconnect the cable and it should tell you it is on battery. Reconnectand it should tell you it is charging.
