I have a dell Inspiron 1520, that when I plug it in to charge, it won't charge. So it's now completely dead. Kinda need the laptop due to the # of pictures I have on there, and for homework.

Any problem solving soluions?

You need a Hammer !

Check to see if battery is connected to laptop properly . Battery may be shot or charger may be.

the laptop should work without the battery in, try that ..if it still doesnt work, your charger is borked. NEVER EVER leave the charger plugged in with the battery fully charged, will overcharge and bork your battery in the long run. If you always leave it plugged in, take the battery out to save the longevity of it

There is your answer. I can get the pictures off the hard drive if you need me to.

Bring it by the house tomorrow around 4pm. I have a few chargers we can try. If you pull the battery out and it still not power up with the ac cord it is either the charger or the motherboard.

Just pulled the battery put and tried. Nothing. I do remember leaving it plugged in often, so odds are its what booyagasha said.
