Laptop only works with AC power?

[lee_hdi]

Hi,
I have an issue with my Dell laptop, with that it only works when plugged into the mains.

The battery has been replaced and shows as 56% full on the power options, but doesn't seem to charge past this.

The laptop won't turn on without the AC adapter even thought the battery is at 56%, and as soon as you unplug the AC adapter the laptop turns off.

Is the motherboard shot?

Thanks,

First check your charger and battery in bios .
Second try another charger

Sounds very much like the battery mate, Had similar problem with daughters laptop.....her battery was showing 100% charged but it would only work on mains. Theres some videos on youtube about re-calibrating the battery to the laptop (take battery out, plug in and switch on without battery, insert battery,restart,etc..) but tried a few things on daughters but still no joy. It was a faulty battery in the end (new one on way thankfully)
