I have a Dell Latitude C640 which is a couple of years old. Now it will not charge the battery. I have put a new battery and a new mains lead but it will NOT charge the battery. If I put in a fully charged battery from another laptop into mine within 30 minutes it will discharge fully. Does anyone have an idea of the problem.

dell tech support advises that the power plug (hole) in the back of the laptop is (of course) soldered to the motherboard and that it works loose.
a mere $500 to replace the motherboard (dell says) will resolve the …
Jump to Postan update:
replacing the (external 19v) power supply may very well work.
