Windows 10: Why does my dell laptop precision 5680 shut off when I unplug it from the charger?

I had just recently updated my firmware and downloaded safeBios overnight. When I wake up this morning I find that it wouldn't turn on without the charger plugged in. The laptop would also shut off after I unplug the charger. The battery shows 100% but still does this. What do I do?

:)

 

My laptop shuts down as soon as I unplug my charger.

My laptop shuts down as soon as I unplug my charger.

I tried the below method of troubleshooting:

Unplug your Laptop and remove the battery

Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds

Plug your laptop back in and replace the Battery

Start your PC.

When I perform the above steps and then remove the charger, the laptop works fine on battery.

However, when I plug in in again and then remove the charger it shuts down again.

And I have to repeat the procedure again to use it on battery.

How can I permanently fix this issue?

 

Proper Way to Shut Down Dell XPS 15 9520 And Remove Cables?

Have a dell xps 15 9520 and windows 11 pro. I use 1 of the 2 thunderbolt 4 ports for the dell charger. The other thunderbolt 4 port I use a usb-c to displayport cable for a 32' 4k monitor. The usb-c port... I connect the Dell 20A 2 in 1 adapter that it came with... this adapter has an hdmi port and usb-a port. The hdmi port I connect an hdmi to dvi cable for a 24' monitor. The usb-a port I connect a sabrent 4 port hub usb to it to give it more usb a ports. I only use 2 of the 4 usb-a ports and that is for the wireless mouse dongle and wired keyboard. My laptop charger, 2 monitors and modem is connected to a UPS. When I shut down my laptop, I press shut down. Then I power off both of my monitors. Then I close the lid to my laptop. Now after this is done... the sabrent 4 port hub still has blue lights showing. I was surprised by this as my laptop is turned off, yet the blue lights on the sabrent port hub still lights up. I then unplug my laptop charger. Is it fine to do this? That is what I done. After I do this, then the lights on the sabrent port hub powers off. I then disconnect the usb-c to displayport cable from the thunderbolt 4 port on my laptop. I then remove the Dell20A 2 in 1 Adapter that is connected to the usb-c port on my laptop. So after all this is done, nothing is connected to my laptop. I also sometimes would unplug my laptop charger from the UPS and sometimes also unplug my 2 monitors from the UPS as well that way the laptop charger and 2 monitors would not be connected at all overnight. The reason I do this is because in case of thunder or surge so I don't want anything connected to my laptop. My questions are 1. Is this the proper way to shut down my laptop? To turn on laptop, I just open the lid and it turns on. 2. Is this the correct steps to unplug the cables from my laptop every night? Should I be unplugging the sabrent port hub from the dell 2 in 1 adapter first? Or there is no issue just unplugging the dell 2 in 1 adapter while the hdmi cable and sabrent 4 port usb hub is into it? The confusing thing here is how when the laptop is still plugged in after I shut down the laptop, the sabrent port hub still shows blue lights. So it doesn't seem to make sense to remove the dell 2 in 1 adapter first or the sabrent 4 port hub first and then the hdmi cable and finally the dell 2 in 1 adapter and then the other usb-c to displayport cable before finally unplugging the charger?

 

Battery Charger for a Dell Laptop

My friend just gave me a Dell Inspiron 600M Laptop which did work last time he used it, but that was a couple years ago. He no longer has the battery charger for it and I know I can easily buy another one for it. I have two questions: Could there be any long-term effects to the battery for not being charged for over a year or 2? ....and (this is a long shot) would the battery charger from my old Gateway Laptop work on this Dell 600M?
