MY SON WAS USING MY DELL XPS M140 LAPTOP. LATER ON, I REALIZED THAT THE BATTERY METER DID NOT SHOW IN THE LOWER TASK TOOLBAR. NOW THE LAPTOP WILL ONLY WORK WITH AC POWER ADAPTER ATTACHED. I THOUGHT THAT THE BATTERY WAS DAMAGED AND I BOUGHT A REPLAMENT BATTERY AND STILL MY LAPTOP WILL NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY OR SHOW THE BATTERY METER AT ALL. I HAVE TRIED POWER MANAGEMENT OPTIONS IN THE CONTROL PANEL BUT NOTHING WORKS. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP?

THANKS,

BILL

You should edit out the email address from your above post.

TR is a public forum and the NetBots crawl all over it all the time. Your email will be getting recorded as I type this, and your email account will begin to fill with SPAM any time soon, if it is left in the post. ;)

Here the people involved may not actually work with Dell Products so without knowing the NB Model it gets hard.

However if this is a Insperon 510m or similar you really need to talk to Dell on this as it appears to be a Hardware issue and is not related to a corrupt Software Driver.

Dell will probably suggest running their Diagnostic Utilities and then come to a conclusion about what is required from there.

If you want to look up the Service Manual for this Family of NB's it is here
