Hello,
A month or so ago I posted a questio about my Dell Inspiron 1545 Windows 7 Laptop stop charging and the power light flashes red. I got an answer to shut down laptop, remove the battery and finish powering down. Then waiting a few minutes and place the battery back in place, I did this the first time and it worked but today I did this and it only worked for 5 minutes and started having issues again. I repeated the process for about an hour and still received the same results. I ran the diagnostics and it said that there were no hardware issues with my laptop, so i'm happy about that but i'm still left in the dark as to why this is happening. If it isn't my battery or other hardware what could it be? Could it somehow be my AC adaptor? A tech came to my house not even a year ago and gave me a new adaptor and i don't leave my laptop plugged in 24/7 and i don't use it everyday. Actually today was the first time I used my laptop since I had issues with it the last time, so that was about a month or so ago. I also notice that after a half an hour powered on the laptop and battery are very hot. If anyone has any suggestions that would be awesome.
Thank you,
Andrea B.
